Title:
CFIT and Overreliance on Automation-GAJSC Topic of the Month
Topic:
We will discuss hazards of overreliance on automation and the potential for Controlled Flight Into Terrain.
Speaker(s):
Paul Palmisciano-CFII, DPE
Brief Description:
GAJSC study of General Aviation CFIT Accidents revealed overreliance on automation as a precursor to some mishap events. They found that automation use contributed to VMC and IMC accidents in day and night flight conditions. Awareness of automation limitations and pilot proficiency in flying with and without automation are key to safe flight operations.
Teaching Points:
- CFIT accidents occur in all weather and light conditions.
- At least one third of pilots involved in CFIT accidents held instrument ratings
- All of the Continued VFR into IMC accidents in the GAJSC study were fatal.
- Some CFIT accidents result from unrealistic or uninformed aircraft performance expectations..
- Other CFIT accidents result from misunderstanding of automation normal and failure mode operations.
- Overrelliance on automation can lead to pilot complacency, degraded hand-flying competence and confidence.
