  Chapter 7: Automation & Flight Path Management Introduction Introduction Automation systems provide an interface allowing the pilot to set a desired aircraft state. The system takes pilot input and aircraft information into account, develops a logical solution, and acts to fulfill ... many systems. 20571 At the start of the age of automation, engineers designed automation into individual systems. For example, a pilot might hold a switch and monitor an indicator to obtain a desired flap setting in an aircraft equipped with…

  failing to monitor the systems and failing to check the results of the processes, the pilot becomes detached from the aircraft operation and slides into the complacent role of passenger in command. Complacency led to tragedy in a 1999 aircraft ... direction of each leg. They had all the tools to manage and monitor their flight, but instead allowed the automation to fly and manage itself. The system did exactly what it was programmed to do; it flew on a programmed…
