Human Error in Aviation Operations

General Aviation Landing Flare Instructions

“…Unlike binocular vision, monocular (mono=one, ocular=eye) vision does not require the use of both eyes (see Benson, 1999;Bond et al, 1962;Green, 1988;Kershner, 1 98 1 ;Langewiesche, 1972;Peter, 1999;Reinhart, 1996;Reinhardt-Rutland, 1997;Riordan, 1974;Tredici, 1996), and generates depth perception fiom a two-dimensional environment (Hawkiis, 1993; for an example see Nagel, 1988). The ability to generate depth perception fiom a two dimensional environment depends on perceptual cues which we will refer to as "monocular cues".…”

Human factors in aviation maintenance: Phase 1: Progress report.

“…Similarly, Nagel (1988) reports that approximately four out of every hundred accidents that occurred in the worldwide jet fleet from 1977 to 1988, had maintenance error as one of the chief causes. As shown in Section 5.3.2, the effects of human error are becoming increasingly unacceptable and the issue of maintenance and inspection error is being closely examined and discussed in the aviation community (D)rury, 1991).…”

Personality and Hazardous Judgment Patterns Within A Student Civil Aviation Population

“…As technology becomes progressively more reliable, the role of human error in accident causation becomes proportionally greater and the need to understand it, correspondingly more germane. Now here is such research more relevant than within the context of aviation operations, where approximately two-thirds of all accidents are attributable to human causes (Foushee & Helmreich, 1988;Nagel, 1988). With human error as the leading causal factor in 90 percent of all general aviation accidents (Na gel, 1988), the need for research in this area is especially acute.…”
