Attitude Probe Codes

• FlyingSkills

I am concerned about a possible loss of my flying skills with too much automation.


• WorksGreat

The automation in my current aircraft works great in today's ATC environment.


• KnowMode

I always know what mode the autopilot/flight director is in.


• CompanyPressure

I use the automation mainly because my company wants me to.


• FreeToManage

Automation frees me of much of the routine, mechanical parts of flying so I can concentrate on "managing"the flight.


• Surprises

In the automation of my current aircraft, there are still things that happen that surprise me.


• FewerErrors

I make fewer errors in the automated airplanes than I did in the older models.


• AheadOfAirplane

Automation helps me stay "ahead of the airplane".


• SetupAndManage

I spend more time setting up and managing the automation (CDU, FMS) than I would hand-flying or using a plain autopilot.


• NotReduceWorkload

Automation does not reduce total workload, because there is more to monitor now.


• ConsultAnnunciator

I always consult the flight mode annunciator to determine which mode the autopilot/flight director is in.


• AdequateTraining

Training for my current aircraft was as adequate as any training I have had.


• HelpDoJob

I use automation mainly because it helps me get the job done.


• AltitudeBust

It is easier to bust an altitude in an automated airplane than in other planes.


• ButtonPusher

Sometimes I feel more like a "button pusher" than a pilot.


• MisunderstoodModes

There are still modes and features of the autoflight system that I don't understand.
