X Recommendations for Optimum Use of Automation
IX.1 Using Automation - General
Correct use of automated systems reduces workload and significantly improves the flight crew time and resources for responding to:
An unanticipated change (e.g., ATC instruction, weather conditions, ...); or, An abnormal or emergency condition.
During line operations, AP and A/THR should be engaged throughout the flight, especially in marginal weather conditions or when operating into an unfamiliar airport.
When operating in fair environmental conditions and at low-density airports, flight crew can elect to fly the departure or arrival manually to maintain flying skills.
Using AP and A/THR also enables flight crew to pay more attention to ATC communications and to other aircraft, particularly in congested terminal areas and at high-density airports.
AP and A/THR should be used during a go-around and missed-approach to reduce workload.
