Computers are fine for solving routine, known problems -- it is the
unknown, nonroutine stuff that gets you.

Like playing chess?


In chess, you have set, predictable moves and progressions of moves. In
aviation, you have an infinite number of those moves and progressions.
The chess problem becomes trivial in comparison.


That makes two subjects you confirm knowing nothing about. But, anyway,
name some piloting challenges that can never be solved by computers.


And -- it confirms that "Happy Dog" knows nothing about aviation!


I predict numerous mirthful responses.

2. identifying asymmetric flap extension.
3. wake turbulence.
4. hijackers.
5. midair collisions.
6. birdstrikes.
7. lightning strikes (EMP will play havoc with the computer).
8. ice.
9. catastrophic engine failure.
