Keywords: Pilot-Induced Oscillation (PIO), human error, autopilot, aircraft accident, Human As a Control Module architecture (HACM architecture)

This research proposes a new architecture named HACM architecture to advance coordination between automation and pilot maneuver. The proposed architecture contributes to circumvent the effect of conflicting action taken by pilot and automatic flight control system. By using flight simulator, the effectiveness of the proposed architecture is confirmed.
