Study Notes
Human Factors in Aviation
- Human factors involve comparing and matching the physical features of the aircraft, cockpit, or equipment with the anthropological needs of the users.
SHELL Model
- The SHELL model stands for Software-Hardware-Environment-Liveware.
- It is a framework used in human factors to analyze and improve the interaction between humans and machines.
Liveware
- Liveware refers to humans, including pilots, air traffic controllers, and maintenance personnel.
- It involves the interaction between humans and other humans, as well as the physical and psychological characteristics of individuals.
Environment
- The environment component includes the physical environment outside the immediate work area, such as weather, terrain, and congested airspace.
- It also includes physical infrastructure, such as airports, and organizational, economic, regulatory, political, and social elements.
Internal Environment
- The internal environment refers to the immediate work area, including physical factors such as cabin/cockpit temperature, air pressure, humidity, noise, vibration, and ambient light levels.
Resources
- Resources include tools, equipment, materials, technical manuals, the number and qualification of staff, the amount of time allocated, and the level of communication.
Errors and Mistakes
- A knowledge-based mistake occurs when an operator lacks the knowledge to perform a task correctly.
- A rule-based mistake occurs when an operator knows the rules but applies them incorrectly.
Human Performance and Limitations
- Humans have limitations, such as working memory capacity, time, and retrieval considerations, which can influence decision-making.
- Information processing is a critical aspect of human performance, including perception, attention, and decision-making.
Peer Pressure
- Unspoken peer pressure occurs when an individual is exposed to certain behaviors, trends, or choices of others.
- Spoken peer pressure involves direct influence from others.
