Bøger i Ashgate Studies in Human Factors for Flight Operations serien

Presents a set of NASA studies that characterize concurrent demands in one work domain, routine airline cockpit operations, in order to illustrate that attempting to manage multiple operational task demands concurrently makes human performance in this, and in any domain, vulnerable to potentially serious errors and to accidents.

The Dragon in the Cockpit enhances the mutual understanding between Western aviation human-factors practitioners and the Chinese aviation community by describing some of the fundamental Chinese cultural characteristics pertinent to the field of flight safety.

Despite physiological limitations for sensing and perceiving their aviation environment, pilots can often make the required visual judgments with a high degree of accuracy and precision. This book provides a comprehensive, single-source document encompassing various aspects of aviation visual perception.

In their first book, Safety Management Systems in Aviation, Stolzer, Halford, and Goglia provided a strong theoretical framework for SMS, along with a brief discourse on SMS implementation. This follow-up book provides a very brief overview of SMS and offers significant guidance and best practices on implementing SMS programs.

Misunderstandings in ATC Communication offers an in-depth report of a seminal study in aviation communication, which until now has only been available in the form of an unpublished dissertation. In addition, it offers a recent extension of that work, the authors' reflections on the research process.

Intends to educate the international aviation community about the feasibility of computer-based instruction to enhance or replace technical and pilot safety training programs, including Crew Resource Management (CRM) and Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM).

This book is the first in a series of volumes to be published in conjunction with the biennial International Symposium on Aviation Psychology (ISAP). The aim of each volume is not only to report the latest findings in aviation psychology but also to suggest new directions for advancing the field.

The Limits of Expertise reports a study of the 19 major U.S. airline accidents from 1991-2000 in which the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found crew error to be a causal factor. Each accident is reported in a separate chapter that examines events and crew actions and explores the cognitive processes in play at each step.
