FRICO: System ArchitectureAbstract
Single Pilot Operations (SPOs) is an emerging trend in aviation, with the potential to reduce crew and increase operational efficiency. However, SPOs present a higher risk due to the lack of redundancy; as demonstrated by historical accident statistics in single-pilot ultralight aircraft. To mitigate the risks associated with SPOs, we develop “FRICO”, a FRIendly COckpit assistance system. FRICO is an AI-enabled assistance system that uses planning techniques to generate flightpaths and provides guidance i.e. best course of actions to pilots while performing cockpit tasks in nominal situations, and even in non-nominal situations, while continuously monitoring the pilot, making SPOs safer.
