Too Much Automation?

摘要

There's no question in my mind that a good autopilot system tends to dull a pilot to what the airplane is doing and what it may be telling him or her. I'm fortunate to have a really good one in my traveling airplane and use it most of the time when I'm in cruising flight. It will fly a heading, follow a magenta line, climb/descend to a preset altitude at a rate of my choosing and shoot coupled ILS or GPS approaches.
