Synopsis

Practical Human Factors for Pilots

About this title

Review:

Translates the science of human factors into a format that can be practically applied by simulator instructors, training captains, and crew resource management instructors to improve pilots’ understanding and performance.

From the Back Cover:

Practical Human Factors for Pilots translates the science of human factors manageably and approachably so instructors, safety managers, and pilots can improve safety and efficiency. Presenting an integrated model of aeronautical human factors, the book demonstrates how human decision making has been implicated in air accidents and equips the reader with practically applicable tools to mitigate these risks, and goes on to provide instructors with a reliable knowledge base on which to design and deliver effective training. Student pilots will learn about human performance and limitations in order to successfully undergo multi-crew cooperation training and crew resource management training, and it will prepare them for assessment in non-technical skills during Operator and License Proficiency Checks in the siumulator and during Line Checks when operating flights.

• Provides practical, evidence-based guidance on the issues that are often at the root of aircraft accidents
• Uses international regulatory material as a basis for defining the content of the book
• Summarizes the current state of human factors training and assessment from a student pilot's first flight in a two-seat Cessna to their License Proficiency Check as captain on an Airbus A380
• Includes mini-case studies that demonstrate human factor relevance to commercial flight operation
