Do you have statistics on the number of times that the pilot has to take control because the auto-pilot is unable to cope or is doing the wrong thing? Focusing just human-caused accidents vs. machine-caused accidents ignores this.
- sokoloff 10y agoI don't have the stats, but I have a bit over 1000 hours as a pilot of light aircraft. "What's it doing now?" is a common question in the industry, and the subject of this excellent American Airlines training seminar video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN41LvuSz10&t=21m41s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN41LvuSz10&t=21m41s (The whole video is good, but that's the specific automation confusion question.)
