The Secrets of Autopilot & Modern Cockpits

What is Autopilot?

Autopilot is a system that controls the airplane’s speed, altitude, and direction — with pilots monitoring everything. It makes long flights safer & less tiring for pilots.

How Does It Work?

When is it Used?

Autopilot is used during most of the flight — especially cruise phase. Pilots take manual control for takeoff & (usually) landing.

Inside a Modern Cockpit

Today’s cockpits are full of digital screens (glass cockpit), replacing old dials & gauges. Pilots interact with flight computers, weather radars & navigation systems.

Pilots + Technology = Teamwork

Automation helps reduce workload, but pilots are always ready to take control — especially in emergencies. It’s all about teamwork between humans and machines.
