See my comment about computerized flight control. If the pilot is dead 
or incapacitated, the plane lands itself. Or ground control can take 
over. Also, to the comment about pilots needing to make changes, that's 
why I suggested a code or something. I think my solution would be 
pretty good. Not the best and I'm not claiming that I'm an expert at 
planes and their operation.
