Commercial Aviation Safety Team (TEAM) Mode Awareness and Energy State Management Aspects of Flight Deck Automation Mode Awareness and Energy State Management Aspects of Flight Deck Automation 20 November 2008 - Bangkok Kyle L. Olsen SE-30
2
Mode Awareness and Energy State Management Aspects of Flight Deck Automation Automation has contributed to sustained improvement in safety. Automation has a limit in complex and highly automated aircraft.
3
Mode Awareness and Energy State Management Aspects of Flight Deck Automation Situational awareness can be lost if the following is not well understood: –Automation mode in which the aircraft is operating –Interaction between the mode of automation and a phase of flight or pilot input. Mode confusion can lead to: –Mismanaging the energy state of the aircraft. –Deviating from the intended flight path.
4
Loss of Control Joint Safety Analysis Team Identified automation mode confusion as a contributing factor. A sub-team was chartered to study and address mode confusion. Objective to minimize the frequency which pilots experience mode confusion and undesirable energy states.
