Pilots are out of the control loop and peripheral to the actual
operation of the aircraft and therefore not prepared to assume
control when necessary. (pc2) |
|
When automation fails, pilots have difficulty taking over
monitoring, decision making, and control tasks. (pc23) |
|
Envelope protections may prevent necessary correction
maneuvers in critical situations, such as when recovering from
unusual attitudes. (pc58) |
 |
Pilots cannot tell what mode or state the automation is in, how it
is configured, what it is doing, and how it will behave. This
leads to reduced situation awareness and errors. (pc95) |
|
Automation recommendations or actions are based on only a
few key variables. An automation device lacks full situation
awareness and may advise or act inappropriately, especially
under unusual conditions. (pc120) |
|
Pilots abdicate responsibility to automation, assuming that it will
perform correctly and therefore not monitoring it adequately. In
some cases, the assumption is invalid and safety is
compromised. (pc163) |
