We have to move away from the notion of 'managing automation' and of being a 'systems monitor'. It is all flying; it's just the way you control the flight path that changes with the specific context or phase of flight.

We need to expand our definition of what it means to 'fly' to one that encompasses full automation, manual flight and everything in between. If a pilot can't adapt to that reality, he has no place in a modern commercial helicopter.
