AP/FD and A/THR Engagement/Disengagement

Pilots will learn when and how to properly engage or disengage these automation systems, ensuring smooth transitions between manual and automated flight. The course emphasizes understanding the interaction between these systems, maintaining situational awareness, and using automation effectively to reduce workload. Pilots will also be trained in handling scenarios where disengagement is necessary, such as system failures or manual flight preferences. Ideal for pilots looking to improve their automation management skills.
