Limitations on the Use of Automation at Your Company

[CutEmUp]

In light of the discussion in another thread about pilots rejecting an aircraft due to automation being MELd.

What are the limitations on the Use of Automation at your company?

Piedmont

-Flight Director must be used for the takeoff segment (up to 1500ft AGL)

-Autopilot cannot be engaged below 1500ft AGL on takeoff

-Autopilot must be disconnected below 200ft AGL on approach

-Flight Director altitude capture must always be armed when changing altitudes. (the pitch command bar will appear when you need to level off. Once level, it can be cleared)

Yawn....

Use the highest level of automation available, except as to maintain proficiency.

I would reply to this, but I'm doing an ILS right now and I am required to monitor the other pilot.

I will get back to you after we land.

Thanks for your patience.

I heard that military pilots are better than civilians.
