01. Human Factors in Aviation Flashcards
Why we study human factors
Operating a modern airliner is different and more demanding than flying a light aircraft.
6 core differences are;
- ALTITUDE - High Altitude
- SPEED - High Speed
- CREW - Multi Crew
- INTENSITY - Long duration or high intensity
- AUTOMATION
- PERSONAL OBLIGATIONS
Due to PERSONAL OBLIGATIONS, the CREW INTENSLY SPEED at ALTITUDE using AUTOMATION

Pg 29
The role of human factors in accidents
The TEM model indentifies what 2 categories of hazard

- ERRORS
Pg 30
The role of human factors in accidents
In the TEM model, what is the definition of THREATS
EXTERNAL EVENTS or ERRORS
Exteranl events or errors that occur beyond the influence of the flight crew, which increase operational complexity, and must be managed to maintain the margins of safety
Pg 30
The role of human factors in accidents
In the TEM model, what is the definition of ERRORS
ACTION or INACTION
Erroneous action or inaction by the flight crew which leads to deviations from intensions or expectations
