Human Factors in Aviation

Fully updated and expanded, this edition serves the needs of the widespread aviation community--students, engineers, scientists, pilots, managers and government personnel. Offering a comprehensive overview, the volume covers topics such as pilot performance, human factors in aircraft design, vehicles and systems and NextGen issues. The need for an up-to-date, scientifically rigorous overview is underscored by the frequency with which human factors/crew error cause aviation accidents. Technical and communication advances, diminishing airspace and the priority of aviation safety all contribute to the generation of new human factors problems and the more extensive range of solutions. Now more than ever a solid foundation from which to begin addressing these issues is needed.

Covers experience on aviation human factors from multiple perspectives (that is, scientific research, regulation, funding agencies, technology, and implementation) as well as knowledge about the science. This title is suitable for aviation community - students, engineers, scientists, pilots, managers, government personnel, and more.
