Grok 3 can create Flight Plans

    I just used GROK3 to create a flight plan for me. It was very accurate. It included SIDS and a STAR. I haven’t experimented with other AI’s but I’m sure that any AI that thinks (Research) can do it. Don’t forget to tell it what kind of plane your flying. I did also explain that it was for a flightsim. (I’m going to have to see if it will create a flight plan for a real world flight.

    AI is amazing. I hope that Aerofly can implement it into the simulator as a co pilot. The possibilities are endless.

    Here’s what Grok3 came up with. This is the summary at the end of its report.

    ‘Summary

    A real-world flight plan for a Boeing 737 from Edinburgh (EGPH) to Southampton (EGHI) might involve:

    • Departing via the TLA1E SID from Edinburgh.
    • Cruising at FL330 along TLA UN864 CPT DCT MID DCT KEPAD.
    • Arriving via the MID1A STAR to land on Runway 20 at Southampton.
    • Cruising at Mach 0.78, with the route adjusted as needed for weather, ATC, and efficiency.

    This is just one example—actual flight plans vary daily—but it reflects the structure and detail you’d see in real-world B737 operations. Let me know if you’d like a different route or more specifics!’

    It’s only a matter of time. Soon it will be how real world pilots do it.

    While many of us picture a future filled with AI-assisted aviation, it's important to remember that technology isn't perfect. For example, AI can't even pick out all the three 'r's in "strawberry!" So, do we really want it to take the helm in the cockpit? In the world of aviation, safety is the top priority for pilots, and human intuition is vital for handling those unexpected challenges. Relying solely on algorithms instead of skilled human expertise might lead to some serious problems, especially when it comes to flying. As we embrace advancements in technology, finding a harmonious partnership between human pilots and AI is key to keeping air travel safe and efficient.

    The three R’s in Strawberry was overcome quite a while ago. I get your point though. However, AI is and has already flown pilotless planes. (Without passengers of course).
