In this paper the full-time operation of AFCS (automatic flight control systems) is practiced and its efficiency, safety of commercial passenger and cargo aircraft is ensured. The effectiveness of such AFCS systems in all flight situations relates to the uncertainty which can affect pilots in an emergency situation at some moment when their knowledge of the exact nature of control actions being taken by the AFCS is imprecise and which may bring with a fatal lack of confidence in the system. This uncertainty has been referred to in the literature associated with the study of human factors as mode confusion and its prevention is one of the most desirable benefits which fully automatic flight is brought about.
