DESCRIPTION:
"Factors" according to Kyle J. Nelson. Good book, was pretty worn, but that is why it was a good price! I just needed to read it not look at the cover!. Human Factor Guidelines Elijah Chingosho "Human Factors in Flight" is an excellent book in human factors for aviators that is well written in simple English making it easy to follow and understand by non-experts in the field. Human factors encompasses a wide range of knowledge, skills and attitudes including communications, situationa. A Customer said Macro/micro view of aviators working environment, excellent. Concise, clear and through view of the inner and outer working environment of an aviators life. Very well researched and documented in an easy to understand format, no technojargon to confuse the novice. Required reading for any current or aspiring commercial pilots, and a must have for industr
The late Captain Frank H Hawkins FRAes, M Phil, was Human Factors Consultant to KLM, for whom he had flown for over 30 years as line captain and R & D pilot, designing the flight decks for all KLM aircraft from the Viscount to the Boeing 747. A consultant member of SAE S-7 committee, he was also a member of the Human Factors Society and a Liveryman of the Guild of Air Pilots. He was an elected fellow of the Aerospace Medical Association; a member of the Human Factors Society, of ICE Flight Safety and Human Factors Study Group, and the SAE Human Behavioural Technology and G-10 Committees.. His perception of lack of knowledge of Human Factors and its disastrous consequences led him to initiate both an annual course on Human Factors in Transport Aircraft Operation at Loughborough and Aston Universities, and the KLM Human Factors Awareness Course (KHUFAC). As a pilot with United Airlines he flew 10 types of aircraft ranging from the DC-3 to the Boeing 747. In this period he developed and applied his specialization in Human Factors. He conducted studies in ground and flight training, Human Factors, aviation safety and aeromedical fields, and received several major awards and presented nearly 100 papers or lectures. About the Editor The late Captain Harry W Orlady was an Aviation Human Factors Consultant and a former Senior Research Scientist for the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS); he also worked with NASA/Ames, with private research firms and the FAA in its certification

G. A systematic and well structured book, not restricting itself to commercial or general air-traffic. Arnold, Instructional Systems Manager, United Airlines 'a simply superb job of bringing the human side of the flight deck crew and their passengers to the attention of the aerospace community.' Canadian Aeronautics and Space Journal 'should be part of any serious pilot's library.' AOPA Pilot Of the second edition: 'all those concerned with the design and operation of aircraft will find great value in itCaptain Orlady has added to the major contribution to air safety originally made by the late Frank Hawkins.' Aerospace 'essential reading for all who are involved in aviation engineering and airline operation - especially pilots' Occupational Safety and Health 'it would be hard to overestimate the importance of this work which is in the forefront of aviation safety
