Title:
Overreliance on Automation Best Practices for Safe Flight Operations
Topic:
Best Practices for Safe Flight Using Automation
Speaker(s):
Richard J. Petrucci and David P. Lawlor
Brief Description:
GAJSC study of Fatal General Aviation Loss of Control Accidents found that a significant number may have been caused, at least in part, by pilot reliance on aircraft automation rather than hand-flying skill and proficiency.
In this presentation we’ll talk about recent GAJSC and FAA studies that deal with pilot management of automated aircraft systems. As the GA fleet equips with advanced technology, those studies have identified Over reliance on Automation as an emerging causal factor in accidents and incidents. Teaching Points:
- Aircraft automation has reduced pilot’s physical workload but in many cases
increased cognitive workload.
- GA pilots quickly come to trust automated aircraft control and mistrust their hands-on flying ability.
- Relying on automated control quickly diminishes hand-flying proficiency.
- Pilot Deviations have increased despite the ability to navigate more accurately with GPS receivers and moving map displays.
- Pilots are not good at monitoring automated systems and consequently can miss significant deviations from plan and be surprised at what their aircraft are doing.
