In this powerful episode of Go Bold, we sit down with former fighter pilot and test pilot Billie Flynn to dive deep into one of the most groundbreaking — and life-saving — technologies in modern aviation: Auto-GCAS (Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System).
Billie played a key role in the testing and validation of Auto-GCAS, a system designed to automatically take control of a jet when a pilot becomes disoriented, incapacitated, or unaware of impending terrain impact. This tech has already saved dozens of lives — and counting. But astonishingly, not all high-performance aircraft are equipped with it.
Why? That’s one of the hard-hitting questions we tackle in this conversation.
With firsthand insight from a pilot who has flown the edge of the envelope and lost friends to preventable crashes, Billie speaks passionately about why Auto-GCAS matters, and how it could —and should — expand beyond military aviation into general and commercial aviation.
Whether you’re a pilot, aviation enthusiast, or simply curious about cutting-edge technology, this episode offers a rare look behind the scenes of a system that is truly changing the game — and saving lives.
Strap in for an unforgettable conversation with a test pilot who helped bring Auto-GCAS to life.
