"Cockpit automation"
02-02-05, 20:00z 

I am wondering what everyone's view is about cockpit automation.

I can see how it is a great tool in helping pilots conduct flights and helping with situational awareness; however, is cockpit automation also complicating pilot duties and responsibilities in other ways?

I've never flown anything with a glass cockpit although I'm studying systems on the CRJ and wondering how pilots feel about cockpit automation.

It all seems very nice and well designed, but it also seems like it would only add a great deal to human factors related errors in piloting.

Everyone pipe--up I'm curious. Plus I'm also writing a paper about cockpit automation for a "human factors" class I have this semester.
