Chapter 7: Automation & Flight Path Management › Integrated Flight Path Automation Systems
Integrated Flight Path Automation Systems Use of automation is an excellent risk control measure when flying in a variety of flight environments where the pilot has a high workload. For example, autopilots are often very useful during complex single-pilot ... flight. In addition, using a flight simulation training device provides the opportunity to practice and repeat automation procedures with a simulated high workload. Through appropriate training and practice, pilots learn to operate autopilot systems with ease and in a routine…
