ATC+AI

We had 2 air tragedies last week - the Blackhawk helicopter colliding with the American Airlines plane on final approach to Reagan National (DCA), killing 67, and a Medevac Learjet crashed in a densely-populated suburb of Philadelphia.

AI-driven Air Traffic Collision Warning system

Using AI to continuously monitor our air space for potential air traffic collision to give pilots a couple minutes warning. It would monitor aircraft transponder heading, speed, altitude and radar info., as you can see in FlightAware, to predict and warn both aircraft of collision.

AI re-routing air corridors for more separation

The helicopter air corridor over the Potomac was only a few hundred feet under a DCA runway glidepath. I was appointed to the Select Committee on South Bay Arrivals near SFO in 2016-17, and the BDEGA landing corridor is about 4,000 feet above my house. Separation is safety.

AI to diagnose mechanical failures for pilots in flight

The Philadelphia Medevac jet appears to have had a catastrophic mechanical failure. What if we used AI to analyze all the flight data recorder info for crashes collected by the NTSB to identify symptoms of mechanical failure? What if AI could warn pilots of a mechanical failure in flight and provide corrective action in seconds rather than minutes?
