The European Union Aviation Safety Agency is mulling a pitch by plane makers Airbus and Dassault Aviation for some aircraft to be crewed by just one pilot for part of the flight — though not during takeoff and landing — by 2027.

“There is no replacement for the skills and experience of at least two pilots at the controls of the flight deck at all times,” he said.

The concept — still years away from potential implementation — is being investigated more intensely by the agency, said Northcote. The Montreal-based United Nations agency’s governing body and air navigation commission were slated to weigh the topic further after two working papers were submitted last year, but no resolutions have been adopted, said spokesman Anthony Philbin.Article content

It is the evolution of technology in aircraft that’s driving the manufacturers to consider this,” said John Gradek, a lecturer at McGill University’s aviation management program.
