An autonomous landing system safely handled a real emergency after cabin pressurisation failed—showing how trusted automation can reduce risk, manage complexity, and preserve human decision space when seconds matter.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand how autonomous systems can support human teams under stress and time pressure.
  • Recognise the importance of trust, fallback options, and clear authority when using automation.
  • Apply lessons from civil aviation autonomy to managing risk and resilience in complex operations.
