Download or read book Human Error in Aviation written by R.Key Dismukes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most aviation accidents are attributed to human error, pilot error especially. Human error also greatly effects productivity and profitability. In his overview of this collection of papers, the editor points out that these facts are often misinterpreted as evidence of deficiency on the part of operators involved in accidents. Human factors research reveals a more accurate and useful perspective: The errors made by skilled human operators - such as pilots, controllers, and mechanics - are not root causes but symptoms of the way industry operates. The papers selected for this volume have strongly influenced modern thinking about why skilled experts make errors and how to make aviation error resilient.

This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Engineering - Aerospace Technology, Everglades University, language: English, abstract: The Pre-Flight Safety Briefing: What are the Reasons for some Passengers' Lack of Attentiveness during Pre-Flight Safety Briefing? Traveling by air has its own special challenges and hazards. Passengers' safety is a major topic of interest for the airlines since its inception, and the best service an air carrier can provide is good safety. This thesis examined the behavioral patterns of some passengers who lack the attentiveness during pre-flight safety briefing. The researcher compared the behavior of three segments: leisure travelers, frequent fliers, and the aviation professionals. The main finding of this research was that people crave acceptance by whatever group they choose to belong to. Based on the conclusions of this research study, the researcher's recommendations are the following: This study provides evidence that airplane accidents are indeed survivable and passengers can expect to survive crashes more times than not. In general, human beings crave acceptance by whatever group they choose to belong to, hence, the airlines key objective should be to make the passengers feel that they are really part of the "team." In addition, as group acceptance is a powerful motivator, any presentation of flight safety should be casted by role models who can influence the public.
