State of the Art A320 cockpit Artificial Intelligence (AI) has being used for a wide range of fields including medical diagnosis and treatment, robotic production, law enforcement, scientific discovery and also for the Air Operations Division (AOD).  The application of artificial intelligence in aeronautics is commonly known or the perception is largely confined to the autopilot systems that have been developed upon the initiative taken by the Sperry Cooperation as a rule based expert system. The system was operated upon the Flight Management System and it’s in cooperated database which consisted of the data retrieved from the on-board flight data measurement units. But, the scope for Artificial Intelligence in aviation had being wider which however is not very popular in Sri Lanka. The importance of having a highly sophisticated AI based autopilot system was tested to its limits in the recent incident of Qantas Flight Number 32, an Airbus A380, running the second leg...
