The Boundaries of Aviation Psychology, Human Factors, Aeronautical Decision Making, Situation Awareness, and Crew Resource Management

Identifying Training Deficiencies in Military Pilots by Applying the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System

“…Dekker has argued that human error is systematically connected to features of peoples' tools and tasks, and also their operational and organizational environment [14]. In recent years, the focus on error in aviation accidents has shifted away from technical skill deficiencies and toward the nontechnical (or soft) skills that underpin effective crew resource management (CRM), such as decision-making, attitudes, supervisory factors and organizational culture [15,16,17].…”

A Common Operational Picture in Support of Situational Awareness for Efficient Emergency Response Operations

“…In technical and academic literature, the area did not receive much attention until the late 1980s, but thereafter diligent work has been done [81]. The aviation industry where pilots and air traffic controllers are required to develop better SA has been the driving force for research and development in this domain [82]. In this context, Nofi [83] mentions that the concept of SA entered military usage through the aviation community.…”

Simulation Training in U.K. General Aviation: An Undervalued Aid to Reducing Loss of Control Accidents

“…Further to Wickens and Flach (1988), Jensen (1997) cited experience as one of five components of aviation decision making pertinent to both GA and commercial pilots, training being an integral function thereof. It was stated that whilst initial training sets the standard for the pilot's future flying and can influence habits and associated flight performance, a solid knowledge base should also be developed early and periodically refreshed to maintain proficiency.…”
