    Aviation & Computers: My Opinion

    The document discusses improvements in aviation technology, particularly the transition from analog to digital cockpit instrumentation. While avionics have increased safety, the author argues that pilots rely too heavily on instruments and not enough on their own flying skills. An investigation into the crash of AirAsia Flight 8501 found that a technical failure, combined with the pilots' overreliance on automation and failure to respond appropriately, led to the crash. The author concludes that pilots must reconsider how they use cockpit instruments and acknowledge that systems can fail.
