Managing Automation: A Pilot's Guide to Automation, Glass Cockpit Operations, and Human Factors - Softcover
Synopsis
Modern avionics can reduce workload, improve precision, and expand situational awareness—but only when pilots understand what the system is doing, why it is doing it, and what it is likely to do next.
Managing Automation brings automation theory into the cockpit. Drawing on human-factors research, official accident and incident investigations, and practical operating principles, Matthew James McDermott examines how highly capable systems can produce mode confusion, automation surprise, weakened monitoring, and difficult transfers of control.
Readers will learn how to build accurate mental models, recognize divergence between aircraft behavior and pilot intent, manage workload, preserve manual-flying proficiency, and choose an appropriate level of automation. The book’s Automation Management Cycle—predict, verify, observe, compare, simplify, communicate, and intervene—turns those lessons into a practical discipline.
Written for developing and experienced aviators, instructors, and safety-minded readers, this is a measured guide to using sophisticated tools without surrendering judgment, discipline, or command.

About the Author
Matthew James McDermott is an instrument-rated pilot, FAA-certificated Advanced Ground Instructor and Instrument Ground Instructor, and aviation writer based in Rochester, New York. His work focuses on aircraft automation, human factors, operational decision-making, and the professional disciplines that support safe flight.His interest in aviation was inspired in part by his late father, Lester McDermott, an airline pilot who accumulated more than 20,000 flight hours. Through Managing Automation, McDermott brings together official accident investigations, established human-factors research, and practical aviation examples to examine how pilots can use advanced systems while maintaining awareness, judgment, and the ability to intervene.He publishes aviation nonfiction through Contact Departure Press and continues to study, fly, and write about the evolving relationship between pilots and aircraft technology.

Managing Automation (Paperback)
Print on DemandSeller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Automation has transformed aviation. Modern systems reduce workload, improve precision, and provide capabilities that earlier generations of pilots could scarcely imagine. They also change the pilot's role, creating new challenges involving mode awareness, monitoring, workload, skill retention, and the ability to intervene when the aircraft behaves differently than expected.Managing Automation examines the evolving relationship between pilots and increasingly capable aircraft systems. Drawing on official accident investigations, established human-factors research, historical developments, and practical operational examples, Matthew James McDermott explores how automation can support safety while introducing new forms of complexity.The book considers major aviation events including Air France Flight 447, the Boeing 737 MAX accidents, Qantas Flight 72, Turkish Airlines Flight 1951, and American Airlines Flight 965. These cases are used to examine automation surprise, mode confusion, startle, complacency, mental models, situational awareness, and system-design assumptions.The discussion then turns toward practical application. Readers will find guidance on active monitoring, predicting system behavior, recognizing divergence, selecting an appropriate level of automation, maintaining manual proficiency, improving crew coordination, and simplifying the operation when understanding begins to weaken.Managing Automation is written for pilots, flight instructors, aviation students, safety professionals, and readers interested in the human side of modern flight. Its central message is straightforward: automation delivers its greatest benefit when pilots understand its behavior, monitor it deliberately, and remain prepared to manage the aircraft when circumstances change. A practical guide to aircraft automation and human factors, using accident investigations, research, and operational examples to help pilots monitor systems, recognize divergence, and intervene effectively.
