Through the study of aviation accidents, most of the risks of flying have been identified and the threats they pose to safety can be managed. However, aircraft accidents, such as controlled flight into terrain, loss of control, runway excursions and incursions, and midair collisions still occur, and the hazards of flight remain.  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Some accidents happen due to mechanical failure, improper maintenance, or hazardous weather—but the vast majority are caused by pilot action (or inaction). Pilots can commit errors and make decisions that lead to tragic outcomes. Most accidents are not intentional; inadvertent errors made by flight crews arise from normal human physiological, psychological, and psychosocial limitations.  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Drawing upon the latest scientific research, aviation safety studies, and accident findings, \u003ci\u003eHuman Factors: Enhancing Pilot Performance\u003c\/i\u003e thoroughly explores the nature of these human limitations and how they affect flight. Most importantly, this book provides best practice countermeasures designed to help pilots minimize their influence on flight performance. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhether you are a fair-weather private pilot, a new-hire first officer at a regional airline, or a seasoned pilot with thousands of hours under your belt, Human Factors will help you understand why pilots make mistakes and arm you with the knowledge to successfully identify, avoid, and mitigate them. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTextbook Features\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for use as a primary textbook for courses covering the  physiological and\/or psychological aspects of flight crew performance \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocuses on the practical application of human factors, primarily written for, and addressing the practical needs of, pilots  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThorough coverage of the physiological, psychological and psychosocial factors that affect pilot performance \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbundant examples of how these factors contribute to accidents and incidents \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuggested best-practice countermeasures pilots can adopt to  overcome or manage specific human factor limitations to pilot  performance \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensive references and helpful resources for each topic \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeveral appendices including CICTT’s Aviation Occurrence Categories, Glossary and Abbreviations\/Acronyms,  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 150 color illustrations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAircraft Accident index with more than 130 entries \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReviewed by experts in aerospace physiology, aviation medicine,  experimental psychology, cognitive psychology, advanced flight deck  design, pilot human factors education, and by experienced airline pilots  representing several different airlines in the United States and  Canada. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword by Jay Hopkins, veteran writer of the Human Factors column for \u003ci\u003eFlying\u003c\/i\u003e magazine \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eCopyright © 2020-2022 Aviation Supplies \u0026amp; Academics, Inc.
