New safety-critical cockpit automation engine unveiled to minimize flight plan data errors

- New safety-critical cockpit automation engine unveiled to minimize flight plan data errors. AI is hitting aviation, but chatbots hallucinate; pilots need precision. Jeppesen ForeFlight’s Airflow engine merges LLMs with hard flight data, regulations, and operational records. It doesn’t just guess; it cross-checks against real-world constraints like weather and fuel. “Aviation intelligence” means traceable reasoning, not black-box magic. The ForeFlight AI Connector lets users query their own planning tools via natural language. It’s social engineering for code: “That’s not flirting, that’s social engineering.” By embedding AI in safety frameworks, they’re building a hash manifest for flight logic. Whoa, that's mega-illegal if it fails. But with human-in-the-loop oversight, this is the physical layer of automation we need. I'll swap that node in twelve minutes.
