FAA Warns of Deteriorating Pilot Skills Amid Automation Overuse
The Department of Transportation and the FAA have raised concerns about pilots' manual flying skills due to increased use of automation. Recent accidents, including the 2013 Asiana Airlines flight 214 crash, have been linked to this issue. The FAA has issued recommendations to address this problem.
The FAA report, 'Enhanced FAA Oversight Could Reduce Hazards Associated With Increased Use of Flight Deck Automation', suggests tracking pilots' manual flying activity and enhancing simulation training. Industry experts question whether current training provides sufficient manual flying experience. Several recent accidents, such as the Asiana Airlines incident, have occurred due to pilots' lack of manual flying proficiency. The report recommends evaluating pilots' actual ability to fly manually to ensure safety.
Over-reliance on automation can hinder pilots' manual flying skills during unexpected events. A recent FAA report highlights these hazards, urging the FAA to enhance oversight and training to mitigate risks.
The FAA and industry experts agree that pilots' manual flying skills need improvement. Tracking manual flying activity, enhancing simulation training, and evaluating pilots' manual flying ability are recommended to ensure safety. The FAA is urged to enhance oversight and training to reduce hazards associated with over-reliance on automation.
