The project's goal is to create an ai-powered emergency companion for pilots which will significantly reduce emergency reaction times and enhance one's ability to make decisions in life-threatening circumstances. Aviation security is severely compromised by the current manual procedure of extracting vital information from large manuals i.e. Quick Reference Handbook, during crises which frequently causes delays and possible dangers. This project suggests developing an advanced generative pre-trained transformer(GPT) named AirGPT, a model that is designed to be integrated in cockpits of air planes, as a result pilots won't need to manually get information anymore. This AI system will instantly provide context-aware instruction depending on the present situation. The proposed methodology involves meticulous data gathering and pre-processing including the assembly of incident reports, aircraft handbooks and emergency procedures to train the gpt model effectively. This project will use the waterfall paradigm which guarantees a methodical process for developing AI with clear milestones and comprehensive testing at each stage, along with software development utilising tensorflow and python. The project's goal is to create a very sophisticated AI system that can provide pilots with accurate,fast and situationally relevant instructions during an emergency. This technology has the potential to save lives and improve overall air plane safety by drastically decreasing reaction time and increasing decision accuracy. Moreover the project's societal impact goes beyond aviation as the concepts and techniques created have the potential to be implemented in other demanding professions where accurate and timely decision-making support is critical.
In summary, the AI powered emergency companion for pilots (AirGPT) project offers a trans-formative solution to the difficulties in aviation emergency management. Its integration of AI technology with pilot assistance systems marks a significant step forward in enhancing safety and effectiveness in the sector with its capacity to offer prompt and customised assistance to pilots during emergencies.This system holds immense promise for revolutionising aircraft safety procedures and guaranteeing the well-being of passengers and crew alike.
