Flight safety warning in South Africa

A dire shortage of air traffic controllers and failures to review key flight instrument procedures have raised concerns about South Africa's aviation safety and operational issues, which are affecting airline operating costs and the economy.

These issues were highlighted to MyBroadband in feedback from Plane Talking managing director and aviation expert Linden Birns.

Linden Birns is too similar to Bin Laden for my liking...he should not be involved in anything with a jet engine...

That's all fine and well, until you need to land in P.E. on a rainy day.

Air Traffic control is something very methodical, mathematical, reliant on data, and precise.

Its a PERFECT for AI to take over it...
