Abstract
Automation in Aviation, most notably in large airliners, is quite contributable to the industry's stellar safety record. However, it is metaphorically a double-edged sword as it often leads to complacency among airmen as well as flaws in design and training, which may often lead to accidents. This thesis will utilize a series of case studies to demonstrate how automation can be both an asset and a liability. It will also evaluate the role of automation and the possibility of completely replacing human intervention with automation.
