Let George Do it

The FAA, the US Civil Aviation Authority, raises the issue of “Aircraft Crashing into Land under Pilot's Control as a result of over-reliance on automation” and provides important advice to pilots. In the FAA's information bulletin on this subject, it was humorously stated that automation can reduce the skills of pilots and that pilots who use autopilot a lot can lose their manual flying skills: "Instrument approaches with autopilot are so flawless that you always say, "Let George do it." it's coming. But what are you going to do if George decides to take a break in the middle of an instrument approach? So it's best to strike a balance between manual and automatic handling of the aircraft.”
There are also good recommendations for balancing human and automation:

-- Learn how the automation system in your aircraft works and how the aircraft will behave when the system is not working.
-- Find out from which sources the automation system on your aircraft receives the information it uses and how the system will respond when this information is missing or incorrect.
-- Learn how to deactivate automation and switch to manual flight when needed.
-- Practice manual flight regularly to keep your skills and confidence level high. Flights in the simulator also work for this.
-- Participate in courses such as FAA WINGS, which are designed to increase the skills of pilots.

The FAA specifically emphasizes that automation systems on the aircraft increase flight comfort and that automation systems are not the enemy of pilots. Just to the pilots themselves: “Can I fly the aircraft manually, when necessary, without support from automation systems? He asks them to ask the question.
