A cutting-edge technology that can help prevent aircraft from flying into the ground may have just saved another pilot's life.
The U.S. Air Force is reviewing whether an F-16 Fighting Falcon's Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System, known as Auto-GCAS, kicked in during a flight last month at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, according to the Air Force Safety Center.
Keith Wright, a center spokesman, said the review process could take up to three months as investigators compile data sources. "The Air Force remains focused on finalizing every review in a timely manner through a conclusive process that takes into account all available data related to the incident," he said via email.
