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.
