Sky, a few posts back you offered some opinions on automation as facts and I asked to see the studies you were using. No comment? Or trouble finding those studies?

Congratulations!!
Yup. Definitely sounds like presenting ideas and engaging in debate to me.
I just earned my commercial license, Sky, and have started looking for internships and employment. I'm in this battle just as much as the next man. And you still baffle me with your equivalence of accomplishments in the aviation industry to one's acquisition of common sense and basic knowledge about human nature.

If you have a question about my opinions or statements your choices are to search them for your self or to accept them. This is not congress.

I do not have a research staff to keep track of every article I have read or program I have watched. In the past when I have posted a source for a poster they then begin to question the validity of that.

Now that you are out of aviation and seem to think that you are free to espouse 'facts' without substance, you may inquire about a post at East Anglia University. They seem to share your attitude that what they say should be accepted without challenge.
What has been mentioned in studies is that automation most often lowers workload in areas where workload is already low and increases workload where workload is high. There is considerable debate as to how, if it does, automation reduces workload and numerous studies on Bhopal, 3 Mile Island, Exxon Valdez and others have shown that when automation fails, it often fails in unanticipated ways leading to considerable confusion. Automation, far from the answer, is more often just another tool in problem solving. It is far from some silver bullet as you opine. You can google Dr. Earl Weiner or Judith Orasanu, or Ute Fischer or Helmrich and others for more info.

But anything requiring stick and rudder skills (T/O, LDG, upset recovery) would need a direct LOS comm link. TO and LDG can be done by a remote pilot at the airport, but not upset recovery unless it occurs in the terminal area. This is a problem which is not going away...there is no technical solution for limitations imposed by the speed of light (which also governs how fast electronics can work).
