Description

A comprehensive approach to understanding aviation accidents, this book provides the tools and knowledge required to conduct a human error analysis. It introduces the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), which incorporates James Reason's model of latent and active failures as a foundation.

Applicable across various operational settings, including military, commercial, and general aviation, HFACS encompasses all aspects of human error, including operator conditions and supervisory/organizational failure. This book is widely used in training programs for safety officers, flight surgeons, and students studying human factors accident investigation.

Written by experts in the field, this book serves as a key resource for anyone seeking to improve their understanding of human error in aviation accidents. It has been incorporated into various courses and workshops worldwide, including those offered by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Transportation Safety International.
