Although they contribute much to the reduction of pilots' workloads, they may induce a new type of aircraft accidents.
Automation is generally considered a positive development in aviation safety because it reduces pilot workload and eliminates errors in calculation and navigation.
Ship helicopter operating limits for military frigates and destroyers are often restricted in difficult weather conditions because of excessive pilot workload caused by the ship airwake.
Although the increased level of automation on the flight deck has resulted in lower pilot workload, improved flight technical performance, and safety enhancements, new problems related to pilot situation awareness and system understanding have also emerged.
It could considerably reduce the go-arounds: pilot workload, fuel and time of flight reduction.
Over the last 15 years, Cessna has continued to improve the Excel (now called the XLS+) with newer avionics and new engine computers to assist in reducing pilot workload.
Once inside, from any seat in either plane, the feeling is all Lexus, though the Lancair is definitely quieter and has a lower pilot workload.
The tailhook that is crucial to slowing planes when they hit the carrier deck worked 124 times in 124 attempts -- in other words, flawlessly -- and test pilots described the harrowing experience of final approach as "carefree" thanks to new technology that captures and maintains an optimum glideslope, substantially reducing pilot workload and enhancing safety.
The Gripen includes the EP-17 cockpit display system, developed by Saab to provide pilots with a high level of situational awareness and reduces pilot workload through intelligent information management.
In a process known as sensor fusion, data from the radar, other sensors, and external systems is filtered and combined by the CIP into a common view, reducing pilot workload.
