Monitoring and management of automated systems.
Monitoring and management of automated systems.
Bottom line
Pilots who consistently rely on an autopilot for flight path management may experience degraded ability to fly manually when required to do so. If the automation is not functioning according to expectation, the pilot may reduce the level of automation, fly manually, and take time to resolve the condition.
