DESCRIPTION:
- Self-reports of maintenance errors used throughout to illustrate the systemic susceptibility for errors as well as to discuss corresponding solutions. In this, their second of two volumes, they place particular emphasis on applying human factors principles in a book intended to serve as a practical guide, as well as an academic text. FAA-type aircraft mechanics, CAA-type aircraft maintenance engineers, maintenance managers, regulators, and aviation students.. - Ethical and procedural issues associated with collection and analysis of both qualitative as well as quantitative safety data discussed. - Two tools - a pre-task scorecard and a post-task scorecard - introduced as means to measure individual as well as organizational safety performance. Taylor strongly believe in incorporating the human factors pri

Elijah Chingosho said Excellent Book. "Applied Human Factors in Aviation Maintenance" is an excellent book on human factors in aviation maintenance. Safety is the number one priority in the aviation industry. To improve safety levels, attention has traditionally been focused on improving equipment, techniques and regulations. However, safety has not improved much and is getting worse with the increase in traffic. Although there has been attention to human factor considerations with respect to performance of flight crew and air traffic controllers, consideration of human factors issues directed
