Side sticks are not coupled with each other or the autopilot,
reducing awareness of the other pilot's or the autopilot's inputs,
resulting in reduced situation awareness and/or improper control
actions. (pc30) |
|
The proliferation of automation modes increases pilot decision
making requirements results in infrequently used and poorly
understood modes. (pc45) |
|
Automation changes and/or adds pilot tasks, making new (often
more serious) errors possible. (pc89) |
|
There is no comprehensive, coherent philosophy provided to
pilots for the use of automation, resulting in inconsistencies and
uncertainties in its use. (pc101) |
 |
Automation training requirements for instructor/check pilots are
not well defined, leading to inadequately qualified
instructor/check pilots. (pc143) |
|
Pilots do not know the automation's intent, allowing conflicting
goals to go undetected and unsafe conditions to ensue. (pc147) |
|
Although the pilot interface may be superficially similar across
aircraft types, there are significant deep differences that may
confuse pilots and lead to unsafe conditions. (pc149) |
|
When using automation pilot response to unanticipated events
and clearances may be slower than it would be under manual
control, increasing the likelihood of unsafe conditions. (pc161) |
