Description
This paper provides a brief summary of the direct costs associated with automation. It also provides a framework for designers, managers, and pilots in implementing measures to mitigate these costs. Safety improvements are not the province of any one of these groups. Instead, an integrated effort between these communities is necessary to promote aviation safety. I have assumed that the reader has a working knowledge of glass cockpit aircraft as well as a basic understanding of human factors issues. The scope of this project is narrowed to focus exclusively on automation issues arising from studies of transport aircraft. In spite of this specific focus on aviation, the issues raised here apply across a wide range of highly automated domains.
