Aircraft autopilot systems: A device that automatically maneuvers a vehicle by means of a mechanical device, rather than by hand.

 ”Autopilot" works in most situations, but takeoff is manual

Among all vehicles, one of the most automated is the airliner. Airliners, which can be described as "a mass of advanced technology," generally use autopilot in many situations, such as during cruise.

Autopilot is the term used to refer to the autopilot system.

Autopilot is used to reduce the task of piloting.

Piloting duties are left to the computer, making it easier for the pilot to do the head work.

While piloting skills are important, flight management skills and coordination with the crew are also very important.

You may imagine a machine like a car navigation system, where you set the destination and it will take control of the vehicle on its own.

In actuality, autopilots set the flight path data and runway data to be used, but they do not do everything else for you.

Landing operations are not automated. This is because the computer cannot decide whether to continue or abort takeoff in the event of unforeseen circumstances during the takeoff run.

In addition, the pilot must respond to any changes in altitude, heading, route, speed, etc., as instructed by ATC during the flight.

The flight manuals provided by aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus each have their own set of rules that say, "Do not use the autopilot until this model reaches this altitude or time."

Takeoff operations are more complex than other operations in terms of conditions and surroundings. The captain must make his own judgments and decisions, and he and the copilot must work together to complete the takeoff procedure.

The initial set of data is reviewed continuously as the pilot gathers information for optimum flight conditions, always paying attention to punctuality and comfort.

The aircraft is controlled by making changes as it adjusts to new information.
