In this workshop, Chris Lutat (Author of Automation Airmanship) will follow a brief survey of the 9 Principles of Automation Airmanship with a detailed description of how attendees can apply each principle to every flight leg. This workshop is not a mere reprise of the popular Automation Airmanship workshops of previous SSD’s but an up-to-the-minute discussion of each Principle as it applies to the aircraft, airspace and aircrew of today. A sound working knowledge of contemporary human factors is a pre-requisite, as this workshop takes on the most challenging aspects of operating glass cockpit aircraft in 21st Century airspace.
