How do we maintain manual handling- and monitoring skills in an automated environment?
(2024) FLYL01 20241School of Aviation
- Abstract
- This study investigated how the industry can maintain manual handling- and monitoring
skills over time as pilots become increasingly exposed to more and more advanced levels of
flight deck automation. It investigated previous research on the subject which in broad terms
concluded that humans do certain things better than machines and vice versa and that it is
essential to have a balance between authority, ability, responsibility and control in the manmachine relationship. Ten industry professionals (pilots) were interviewed and the subsequent
thematic analysis yielded three main themes. This was complemented by a literature review on
the subject which was consistent with the results from the interviews. The results of the study... (More) - This study investigated how the industry can maintain manual handling- and monitoring

thematic analysis yielded three main themes. This was complemented by a literature review on
the subject which was consistent with the results from the interviews. The results of the study
showed that the industry does not fully consider the phenomenon of skill degradation and that
operators in general manifest a laissez-faire attitude towards the retention of these skills. The
natural conclusion was therefore to suggest mandating well thought-out manual handling
scenarios in the simulator and to transfer applicable elements to normal line operations after
having practiced them in the simulator. (Less)
