- Large amounts and/or poor formatting of information increases
pilot workload. (pc14)
- The pilot-automation interface is poorly designed with respect to
human factors considerations, resulting in poor pilot
performance or pilot dissatisfaction. (pc39)
- Pilots do not effectively use automation because they do not
understand interaction of automation devices or interaction of
automation modes. (pc41)
- Training for automated aircraft does not adequately prepare
pilots with basic (i.e., non-automation) system knowledge in that
aircraft, and pilots may lack the knowledge and skill necessary to
operate the aircraft manually. (pc63)
- Pilots lose psychomotor and cognitive skills required for flying
manually, or for flying non automated aircraft, due to use of
automation. (pc65)
- Keyboard alphanumeric data entry is prone to errors, which can
adversely affect safety. (pc71)
- It is difficult for one pilot to monitor what another is doing with
automation, reducing awareness of pilot intentions and cross
checking for errors. (pc72)
- When the automation system database is incomplete or contains
erroneous data, it increases pilot workload and the opportunity
for navigation or other errors. (pc110)
- Automation design often does not take into consideration the
operational knowledge of pilots. This may lead to designs that
are counter intuitive to pilots, increasing pilot workload and the
opportunity for error. (pc121)
- Older pilots have trouble accepting and learning to use
automation, making them more prone to misusing it. (pc132)
- There is a lack of function and interface standardization
between automation systems, leading to increased training
requirements, increased pilot workload, and poor pilot
performance. (pc138)
- Automation designers leave pilots to do the tasks that cannot be
automated. The pilots are left with a set of poorly integrated
tasks that are difficult to perform well. (pc153)
- Companies require pilots to use automation. In some cases,
such use is unsafe. (pc159)
