1. A system for validation of speech commands from an aircraft pilot, comprising:
a voice communication device that receives a speech command from the aircraft pilot; and
a flight management system (FMS) that,
decodes the speech command into a computer readable format,
checks the decoded speech command against the present aircraft state as indicated by avionic sensors of the aircraft,
checks the decoded speech command against an approved pre-condition that is stored in a pre-condition database,
validates the decoded speech command if the decoded speech command is consistent with the present aircraft state,
validates the decoded speech command if the decoded speech command is consistent with the approved pre-condition, and
updates an input to the cockpit system to execute the speech command from the aircraft pilot if the decoded speech command is validated.
