ConsiderationsConsiderations
• Avidyne or G-1000 ?
• Is an all-glass panel safer than a conventional panel ?
• How much training is required to be competent and safe ?
• What happens when the panels go dark?
We’ll come back to discuss these important questions later on
TerminologyTerminology
• TAA – Technically Advanced Aircraft
• PFD – Primary Flight Display
• MFD – Multi-Function Display
• FITS – FAA Industry Training Standards (e.g. TAA with PFD/MFD)
• ADAHRS or ADAHARS – Air Data Altitude Heading and Reference System
• GPS – Global Positioning System
• GPSS – GPS Steering

Importance of understanding:a. Better able to solve novel problemsb. Better memory for proceduresc. Learn procedures faster
Limits on understanding:Impossible to understand everything about a complex automation system.
Why did it do that?What’s it doing now?What’s it going to do next?
Learning vs. UnderstandingLearning vs. Understanding
Tendency for pilots to use automation just because theyhave it.
Choosing the right level of automation based oncircumstances
“Turn it off” training
Automation can decrease and increase workload.

“Use it or lose it”
Hand-flying skills atrophy when automation is overused.
Automation skills atrophy when automation is underused.
