Automation in Aviation

Automation in aviation involves the use of advanced technology and systems to assist or perform tasks traditionally done by pilots. This includes autopilot systems that control the aircraft during most of the flight, navigation systems that direct the route, and automated safety checks. These technologies improve precision, safety, and efficiency, reducing workload for pilots and minimizing human error. While pilots remain essential for decision-making and handling unforeseen situations, automation handles many routine and technical operations, making modern air travel safer and more reliable.
