Criticality results
Automation has freed the crew of newer aircraft from dependence on surface systems of navigation aids, but this freedom from defined route constraints has increased air traffic coordination requirements and has complicated conflict prediction. (pc148)

Automation may work well under nominal conditions but does not have the desired behavior close to the margins of its operating envelope, leading to unsafe conditions. (pc150)

Criticality results
Some procedures are designed under the assumption that automation will be used. If it is not, either by necessity or pilot choice, workload may be excessive and errors are more likely. (pc151)
