Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These Human Factors Bulletins are intended to acquaint engineers with the importance of using physiological, psychological, and related data in the design of aircraft. References are provided so the engineer can learn more thoroughly for himself. The bulletins do not attempt to cover the vast field of human engineering but illustrate the importance of using information already available to improve safety by "engineering for human use". The Bulletins were originated by the Center and have been printed and distributed individually both by the Center and the Flight Safety Foundation."--Introduction

Download or read book Ten Questions About Human Error written by Sidney Dekker and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2004-12-27 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten Questions About Human Error asks the type of questions frequently posed in incident and accident investigations, people's own practice, managerial and organizational settings, policymaking, classrooms, Crew Resource Management Training, and error research. It is one installment in a larger transformation that has begun to identify both deep-rooted constraints and new leverage points of views of human factors and system safety. The ten questions about human error are not just questions about human error as a phenomenon, but also about human factors and system safety as disciplines, and where they stand today. In asking these questions and sketching the answers to them, this book attempts to show where current thinking is limited--where vocabulary, models, ideas, and notions are constraining progress. This volume looks critically at the answers human factors would typically provide and compares/contrasts them with current research insights. Each chapter provides directions for new ideas and models that could perhaps better cope with the complexity of the problems facing human error today. As such, this book can be used as a supplement for a variety of human factors courses.

Download or read book Human Factors in Aviation written by Earl L. Wiener and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 1988 with total page 884 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1950s, a number of specialized books dealing with human factors has been published, but very little in aviation. Human Factors in Aviation is the first comprehensive review of contemporary applications of human factors research to aviation. A "must" for aviation professionals, equipment and systems designers, pilots, and managers--with emphasis on definition and solution of specific problems. General areas of human cognition and perception, systems theory, and safety are approached through specific topics in aviation--behavioral analysis of pilot performance, cockpit automation, advancing display and control technology, and training methods.

Download or read book Human Factors in Practice written by Haydee M. Cuevas and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Factors in Practice: Concepts and Applications is written for the practitioner who wishes to learn about human factors (HF) but is more interested in application (applied research) than theory (basic research). Each chapter discusses the application of important human factors theories, principles and concepts, presented at a level that can be easily understood by layman readers with no prior knowledge or formal education in human factors. The book illustrates to the non-HF practitioner the many varied domains in which human factors has been applied as well as serving to showcase current research in these areas. All chapters address the common overarching theme of applying human factors theories, principles and concepts to address real-world problems, and follow a similar structure to ensure consistency across chapters. Standard sections within each chapter include a discussion of the scientific underpinnings, a description of relevant HF methods and guidance on sources of further information, case studies to illustrate application, and a summary of likely future trends. Each chapter concludes with a short list of key terms and definitions to enhance the reader’s understanding of the content. Featuring specialist contributors from a variety of disciplines and cultural backgrounds, the book represents a diverse range of perspectives on human factors and will appeal to a broad international audience. It is consciously not a classroom textbook but rather intended to be read at the workplace by non-HF practitioners, and written specifically with their needs in mind. Reading this book will give all practitioners a solid grounding in modern human factors and its application in real-world situations.

Download or read book Human Factors in Aviation written by Eduardo Salas and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2010-01-30 with total page 747 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully updated and expanded, the second edition of Human Factors in Aviation 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, scienti?cally rigorous overview is underscored by the frequency with which human factors/crew error cause aviation accidents, pervasiveness of human error in safety breakdowns. 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. - New edition thoroughly updated with 50% new material, offering full coverage of NexGen and other modern issues - Liberal use of case examples exposes students to real-world examples of dangers and solutions - Website with study questions and image collection
