AI using faulty simulator to train Dreamliner pilots

For the past 2 weeks, cash-strapped Air India has been training its pilots on a faulty Boeing 787 Dreamliner simulator with defective warning lights. Inside a flight simulator, pilots are put in charge of emergencies like engine failure, fire and malfunctions they might encounter in real life. If a warning light comes on, they are taught not to ignore it. But AI pilots undergoing training are being instructed to go against the rule book and ignore the light. AI's executive director (training) has warned its engineers and instructors against reporting the flaw in the defect logbook. Sunday, 4 days after TOI sent a query to AI on the issue, the flaw was finally allowed to be reported, though it hasn't been rectified. "Given that the said light concerns the aircraft's navigation system, instructing trainee pilots to ignore it is not a safe practice," an official said. <br/>
