  • Course Description: Humans design, build, operate and maintain the aviation system. It is no wonder then that the majority of aviation accidents and incidents have roots in human factors. With that realization, however, comes the revelation that quality human factors training is effective in improving safety. This course presents human factors information in a manner that can be readily understood and applied by aviation practitioners. Emphasis is placed on identifying the causes of human error, predicting how human error can affect performance, and applying countermeasures to reduce or eliminate its effects. The course content follows the subjects recommended in FAA Advisory Circular 120-51D. The course also addresses some of the topics recommended in the International Civil Aviation Organization's Human Factors Digest No. 3: Training Operational Personnel in Human Factors. The emphasis is from the pilot’s perspective, but is applicable to all phases of aviation operations. The course relies heavily on participation, case studies, demonstrations, self-assessment and practical exercises.
