dc.description.abstractThe environment in the cockpit of commercial aircraft is becoming increasingly complex due to the introduction of automation systems. This complexity is especially evident when malfunctions take place, making it difficult for pilots to comprehend the interconnectedness of the systems and potentially leading to loss of control. This paper investigates a novel method for creating an Artificial Intelligence-based stall recovery assistant using Reinforcement Learning by training the agent to generate a stall and subsequently recover from it. This enables training in a large training space with a simple reward function, where the agent has the ability to develop a deep understanding of the environment. Tests show that the agent is able to recover from stall at a variety of altitudes while experiencing unreliable airspeed information originating from a blocked Pitot tube system and with a better response than all baseline agents. The results indicate that restricting AI is not always necessary and, further, that too many restrictions can lead to a system that learns only shallow features, causing it to be unreliable in unforeseen circumstances.en_UK
