Aviation Safety - The Human Factor also gives the professional the information needed to apply principles of human factors to investigations.
This text is organized within the model of perception of stimuli, cognitive processes and response. Chapter one offers definitions and presents a model for the study of human factors and a contact list of expert consultants. Part one covers aviation physiology. Part 2 deals with aviation psychology. Part 3 applies human factors to the work place. Part 4 provides practical considerations of human factors in accident investigation. Part 4 contains FAA suggestions for establishing a human factors safety program. Also included are appendices, a bibliography, a glossary, reprints of safety articles and a comprehensive index.
