Wait what? If your landings are a ballistic trajectory, kindly step away from that stick ;)

And that's kind of the point - nobody except the few planes that fly parabolic trajectories needs this. So good luck mandating something affecting all of aviation with no practical use except for a handful of flights.

Autoland already exists. And can handle crosswinds up to 25kts. It's just that using them is an incredibly intense task - your reaction time to fix mistakes is a bit short.

That's why most landings are still manual, unless visibility is so bad that you have no choice.

(Also, the idea that meteorological radar could give you enough info about air density to preemptively handle air gusts is... a bold future)

I didn’t say parabolic landings. I said the same capabilities required to fully automate parabolic flights would allow safer landings because precise trajectory control even when there is turbulence around the plane is a very desirable feature.

On second thought, it could pay for itself in preventing aborted landings.
