There are potential hazards caused by computer to computer
communication when human supervision and intervention is
difficult or impossible. (pc22) |
|
Some possible failures are not anticipated by designers so there
are no contingency procedures provided to pilots, increasing
trouble shooting workload and the opportunity for error. (pc24) |
|
It is difficult to detect, diagnose, and evaluate the consequences
of automation failures (errors and malfunctions), especially when
behavior seems 'reasonable' resulting in faulty or prolonged
decision making. (pc25) |
|
The attentional demands of pilot automation interaction can
significantly interfere with performance of safety critical tasks.
(e.g., head down time, distractions, etc.) (pc102) |
 |
Flightcrews are trained in automation operation procedures but
not in automation management, which can be critical for safe
operations. (pc118) |
|
Although automation may do what it is designed to do, design
specifications may not take into account certain unlikely but very
possible conditions, leading to unsafe automation behavior.
(pc125) |
|
When two pilots with little automation experience are assigned
to an advanced technology aircraft, errors related to automation
use are more likely. (pc142) |
