Human factors for pilots - Design and automation

Safety behaviours; Human factors for pilots - 2nd edition
Design and automation
Since the early years of powered flight, there has been much discussion about how design and automation influence pilot workload and flight safety.
The interaction between people and machines has generated ongoing and extensive research. This booklet considers the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to aircraft design and automation. It stresses the importance of understanding the strengths and limitations of technology, and training which takes these into account.
