Book Description

At this point in time, the chances of being killed in an aviation accident are significantly lower than the chances of winning the jackpot in any of the major lotteries. Air safety is currently at a stage where this is the case. However, in order to maintain or improve upon that performance level, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth investigation of certain occurrences that, despite being uncommon, point to fundamental flaws in the learning process. If there is not a distinct and appropriate route for development, the impact of these setbacks may quickly become more severe. Aviation and Human Factors: How to Incorporate Human Factors into the Field is a PDF booklet that attempts to identify what is wrong, why there are things that need to be fixed, and some human factors principles that should be kept in mind when designing aircraft and operating them.
