Flightdeck Performance

"Flightdeck Performance" examines the abilities and limitations of human beings when performing the complex task of flying single pilot and multicrew aircraft, and ways in which possibility for error might be eliminated or reduced. The book serves courses in aviation psychology, behavioural engineering, ergonomics, and aviation training and operations management. It is also a reference for researchers, pilots, air traffic controllers, government regulators, flight training and operations managers, and consumers interested in aviation safety. Facts cited, controversial issues considered and conclusions drawn are supported by data on technological innovations, results of research studies, and examples from air mishaps.
