Everything in our world is becoming more technologically advanced. From phones to computers, and of course, airplanes. The equipment that was once limited to airliners and large jets is now common on nearly all training aircraft. However, far too often, pilots utilize automation incorrectly, inefficiently, and at the wrong time.
San Carlos Flight Center invites Corporate Pilot Brandan Dadoun to discuss how to use automation safely and effectively. In this seminar, he will illustrate the importance of understanding aircraft automation through detailed case studies and his personal experience. We will discuss the various levels of automation, techniques to mitigate automation dependency, and the importance of single-pilot resource management.
If you have ever wondered, “Why is the autopilot doing that?”, “Should I engage it now?” or felt unsure about where to begin with aircraft automation, this seminar is for you.
Brandan Dadoun is a corporate pilot flying the Embraer Praetor 600. He has two type ratings and extensive flying experience throughout the country. Brandan completed all of his flight training at SCFC and has been involved in the community since 2015. He was formerly the Safety Seminar Program Director, where he served in his role for many years. The Federal Aviation Administration recognized his efforts for improving aviation safety with awards in 2022 and 2023.
