Description
Practical Human Factors for Pilots provides essential guidance on human performance and limitations in aviation. This book helps student pilots prepare for exams, multi-crew cooperation training, crew resource management, and non-technical skills assessments.
Each chapter explains the relevant science behind key topics, accompanied by mini-case studies that demonstrate their relevance to commercial flight operations. The book offers practical tools and techniques to improve performance, as well as 'training tips' for instructors. It also provides evidence-based guidance on issues often at the root of aircraft accidents.
With international regulatory material and a step-by-step approach, this book covers relevant topics in a clear and concise manner. It demonstrates how human decision-making has been implicated in air accidents and equips readers with tools to mitigate these risks. This reliable resource is ideal for instructors looking to design and deliver effective training.
