Criticality results
Training and checking requirements do not necessarily take into account new flightdeck automation capabilities and, as some pilots do not get the necessary training, they lack necessary knowledge and skills. (pc113)

Criticality results
In pilot evaluation there is an overemphasis on automation skills to the extent that manual and non automation related cognitive skills are minimized. Pilots may therefore lack non automated operations skills. (pc116)
