DECLINAZIONI DEL COMANDO TRA AEROMOBILI MANNED ED UNMANNED

Abstract

With digital technology, the only thing the pilot has in common with the people on board is time. The spaces where the action takes place are different and the cause-effect relationship is not contextual.
Remotely piloted aircraft are based on absence. The fact that some people (cabin crew and passengers) are on board and others (the pilot of the remotely piloted aircraft) are far away upsets the established balance.
When compared to traditional aircraft pilots, the role of the pilot of an unmanned aircraft appears incomplete and diminished. Incomplete because it is deprived of powers that cannot be separated from those assigned by law to the aircraft (or ship) captain; diminished because it is incomplete and imperfect, emptied of that expansive force of which the captain is the sole interpreter.
