Abstract:	As we have tried to understand the regional airlines and their current use of automation, it has become clear that there are enough differences between the regional airlines and the transport airlines that research focusing specifically on their needs is required. We have also discovered how difficult it is to define the needs for addressing automation-related topics without better understanding our definitions of automation and how it affects pilot performance. We developed an expanded pilot general task list and definitions of the three categories of automation to help us accomplish our research goals and found that their use results a better methodology for us to explore automation effects and translate them to the needs of the regional airlines.
