Checklists would also be interesting. Imagine: Glass: Checklist landing

* Wind? Check

* Approach Speed? Check

* Clear Runway? Check


I would use a smart phone app today that allowed me to customize a set of checklists and interact with them through voice and synthesized speech. This would be a win because it could eliminate visually distracting checklists.. I know that a lot of pilots follow checklists "from memory" but many feel that a checklist should be "written down" to compensate for memory errors.. An app like this would increase my use of checklists when my hands and eyes were busy.

I'd like to see an AI co-pilot that would have awareness of flight parameters, be able to do simple rule based reasoning and pattern recognition, and give verbal suggestions to the pilot. Kinda like having a CFI in the backseat. For example an AI co-pilot might be able to recognize wind shear, detect that the glider was in the pattern, and give the pilot a heads up "Possible Wind Shear".

It would be interesting to have a AI watch my flying, detect that I was having a bad day and flying poorly and tell me to land ASAP.

I think I would keep my Google Glass display to a minimum and display only airspeed, altitude, vario and perhaps pattern arrival altitude. AI co-pilot would have some override privilege, so that if I were approaching stall speed it would display only airspeed, large and in red. I'd like the App to let the user customize the AI rules so that the AI would behave to the taste and experience of the pilot. I'd rather see these parameters projected on the canopy, the Google Glass blocks part of my vision of one eye and that is a drawback.
