LO 040.03.07.03.01: Explain that the potential disadvantages of automation on crew communication are loss of awareness of input errors, flight modes, failure detection, failure comprehension, status of the aircraft and aircraft position.

With a high level of automation can come crew complacency for tasks and situational awareness that would usually be discussed between the pilots, but can end up being assumed by both pilots that the other also knows the current situation. This comes for all things in the above Learning Objective, and means that the pilots should more consciously be discussing these items of automation (as should be in the SOPs for that operator), in order to avoid potential automation complacency.
