Exclamation FORCE - CAA Flight Operations Research Centre of Excellence
Back in 2007 Cranfield University began their FORCE investigation into Aircraft Automation and Manual Flying:

"Captain Simon Wood, FORCE Director, spoke on concerns that pilots may be placing too much reliance on automation and the work that was taking place to develop a new syllabus for pilots moving to new aircraft types. An experimental syllabus is under consideration for CAA approval and, if approved, will be trialled by a UK airline"
