Prepare a module case study regarding automation in flight operations:
Once again go to the NTSB Web site and select one aviation accident report that particularly interests you that also involves a cockpit automation issue. Review the Factual Information chapter (do not review the Analysis, Conclusions, or Recommendations chapters) of the Full Report (not the Summary). Then analyze and evaluate the cockpit automation human interaction issues that were present in the cockpit prior to the accident. Finally, creatively apply the concepts you learned for improving aviation safety by improving the liveware and hardware and for mitigating drawbacks to automation and develop a mitigation plan that might have prevented this accident. As always, support your work with a reliable source(s).
