Date and Time:
Thursday, December 5, 2024, starting at 17:30 Central Standard Time Download Calendar File
Speaker(s):
Jason Glass, David Hintz
Brief Description:

GAJSC study of Fatal General Aviation Loss of Control Accidents found that a significant number may have been been caused, at least in part, by pilot reliance on aircraft automation rather than hand-flying skill and proficiency. We will discuss the following:

  • 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
  • In addition we will discuss what the role of the FSDO is for the FAA.
