Criticality results
The traditional distribution of workload between pilots (e.g., between PF and PNF, between C and F/O) is modified under automated flight, which may allow safety critical tasks to be neglected. (pc104)

Criticality results
Pilots must use automation in a manner not intended by designers to get desired results or to avoid undesirable consequences, increasing pilot workload and opportunity for error, and may have unanticipated and undesirable side effect. (pc107)

Criticality results
Automation performs in ways that are unacceptable, unexpected, and unexplainable by pilots, creating confusion, increasing pilot workload to compensate, and sometimes leading to unsafe conditions. (pc108)

Automation design prevents the device from performing a function that seems reasonable to the pilot, requiring the use of alternative strategies which may increase workload and the opportunity for error. (pc109)
