Book excerpt: While stress and fatigue are often dealt with in other books on aviation performance and human factors, these realities of human vulnerability are now increasingly seen as central to the effective conduct of flight operations. Flight Stress provides a comprehensive treatment and a better understanding of stress and fatigue as they relate to aviation. It clarifies and distinguishes the concepts of stress and fatigue as they apply to flight, and expounds sufficient theory to provide a principled basis for the consideration and amelioration of stress effects in aviation. The authors examine what is known of the effects of stress from both laboratory and operational studies and detail the aspects of this knowledge to which aviation professionals should pay most attention. They go on to discuss the implications of stress and fatigue for performance in a range of aviation contexts, from air traffic control to aerial combat. Physiological, cognitive and medical sequel are explored. The book locates aviation related work, in its broader research context, critically reviewing and illustrating the work, with examples from accident and incident reports. It is substantive but accessible, since it both sets out the research base and provides plenty of 'real world' examples to leaven and illustrate the narrative. It thus provides an authoritative handbook for aviation professionals and a comprehensive source book and reference work for researchers. The readership includes aviation professionals and researchers, including medical personnel and registered Aviation Medical Examiners; psychologists and Human Factors specialists; training captains, senior pilots and engineers; air traffic controllers, dispatchers and operations staff.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Rose became an air traffic controller in 1983 people meeting her immediately comment about how stressful her job is. But is it the job? Is it being a woman in a mostly male profession? Rose's memoir STRESS is Relative follows her career in ATC from the time she first heard about this challenging and lucrative job to the day she retired. Along the way readers get insights into the mysterious world of Air Traffic Control, and how attitudes towards women evolved over time. So how did she come to work in this challenging profession? In 1981 President Ronald Reagan fired 11,359 striking Air Traffic Controllers. It took 10 years to rebuild the workforce. The strike affected all levels of aviation and offered employment opportunities to many who had never before considered this as a profession. A struggling young single mother of two little girls, Rose Marie heard a report on the late night news about the strike and the government's ongoing efforts to rebuild. With no background in aviation she took a chance and entered a whole new world. Now one of the best known aviation authors in the U.S., Rose's experiences as she faced challenges both in the job and in the attitudes of an entrenched mostly male workforce in the 1980's makes for a story that is inspiring and amusing. In his review of the book, the editor of Fly-Low Magazine noted the book "shows the other side of ATC like no other person has." He goes on to say "This book would make a great movie!". Rose Marie Kern has worked in all three divisions of Air Traffic Control. She has won three national awards for her work with pilots and aviation computer engineers. She writes monthly columns for seven aviation publications. A member of the FAA Safety team, Rose Marie is a popular speaker for aviation groups nationwide. www.rosemariekern.com

Download or read book Critical Incident Stress Management in Aviation written by Joachim Vogt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical incident stress management (CISM) is now a well-established method in crisis intervention, and one that is clearly needed within aviation. However, there are many peculiarities in this branch of CISM which require thorough consideration. People working in high-reliability environments need to be sensitive to others' reactions to critical stress. They are the normal reactions of normal people in abnormal situations. However, to ensure this a proper programme must be put in place, based on a scientific and standardized approach. This book describes the various methods and elements of the CISM model, as well as their interventions. It also investigates the benefits of CISM on the individual level and on an organisational strategic level. It details CISM training and courses, and features a case study based on the Überlingen accident of 2002. Critical Incident Stress Management in Aviation will be of direct relevance to human factors experts, safety managers, ATCOs and air navigation service providers, though there is also much that will be of interest to aviation physicians, psychologists and airport/airline managers.
Download or read book Physiological Stress in Air Traffic Controllers A Review written by and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years of research on physiological stress in air traffic control specialists (ATCS's) is reviewed. Data were derived from 20 tasks involving the experimental variables of workload, shift-rotation patterns, and automation. Laboratories at the Civil Aeromedical Institute consisted of a survey of the quantity and quality of sleep in working ATCS's, a restudy of ATCS's several years after the first study to appraise stress change, and experimental attempts to evoke a differential response to two different qualities of stress. Stress was distinctly related to imposed workload as well as to working conditions. Differences in stress levels in ATCS's on different shift-rotation patterns were minimal. Automation gave rise to increased total stress accounted for by an increased workload incident to the changeover period from annual to computerized control techniques. A stress index was developed to facilitate comparison of physiological stress at the different air traffic control (ATC) facilities and among ATCS's. Anxiety level measurements vary minimally from facility to facility indicating little impact of ATC work on the physchological state of ATC's. These and other measures show that it is clearly inappropriate to describe ATC work, as is commonly done in the popular press, as being unusually stressful.
Download or read book Air Traffic Control Human Performance Factors written by Anne R. Isaac and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Foreword by Captain Daniel Maurino, ICAO: '...Air Traffic Control...will remain a technology-intensive system. People (controllers) must harmoniously interact with technology to contribute to achieve the aviation system’s goals of safe and efficient transportation of passengers and cargo...This book...considers human error and human factors from a contemporary and operational perspective and discusses the parts as well as the whole...I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did.' The motivation for writing this book comes from the author’s long standing belief that the needs of Air Traffic Service personnel are inadequately represented in the aviation literature. There are few references to air traffic control in many of the books written for pilots and about pilots and this is also observed at the main international conferences. In line with the ICAO syllabus for human factors training for air traffic controllers, the book covers the main issues in air traffic control, with regard to human performance: physiology including stress, fatigue and shift work problems; psychology with emphasis on human error and its management, social psychology including issues of communication and working in teams, the environment including ergonomic principles and working with new technologies and hardware and software issues including the development of documentation and procedures and a study of the changes brought about by advanced technologies. Throughout the text there are actual examples taken from the air traffic control environment to illustrate the issues discussed. A full bibliography is included for those who want to read beyond these issues. It has been written for all in air traffic services, from ab initio to the boardroom; it is important that the men and women in senior management positions have some knowledge and awareness of the fundamental problems that limit and enhance human performance.
Download or read book Methodology in the Assessment of Stress Among Air Traffic Control Specialists ATCS Normative Adult Data for the State Trait Anxiety Inventory from Non ATCS Populations written by Gary L. Hutto and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: STAI scores of adult men and women within the age range of 25 through 59 years were generally equal to or slightly less than scores of the college undergraduate normative group. This suggests that the previous use of undergraduate norms to evaluate A-Trait and A-State scores of ATCSs did not underestimate the levels of work-related stress associated with their work. Smith's* conclusion that there is little evidence to support the notion that ATCSs are engaged in an unusually stressful occupation is not changed by the findings of this study. Although A-State scores increased from before work to after work in the subsample of FAA employees surveyed in the present study, neither the absolute levels of work stress nor the change in stress induced by work were noticeably different from those levels and changes reported by ATCSs who rated their work shifts as difficult.
