Study Notes
Human Performance Limitations
- Human factors is the study of how humans think, solve problems, and process information.
- Human factors knowledge is critical in designing equipment, software, and documentation.
- The primary cause of accidents is human error.
Emotional Factors
- Emotional factors such as death or illness in the family, business worries, poor interpersonal relationships, and financial worries can contribute to stress, fatigue, and distraction.
Cognitive Psychology
- Cognitive psychology is the study of how people think and process information.
- This knowledge can be critical in designing equipment, software, and documentation.
Learning and Training
- Educational psychology is the study of how people learn.
- Excellent training programs result from this knowledge.
CRM's Three-Pronged Approach
- CRM's three-pronged approach to error management involves avoiding errors, mitigating errors, and eliminating errors.
Human Factors in Maintenance
- Pressure, fatigue, and distraction are major human factors that contribute to maintenance errors and accidents.
- Lack of communication and teamwork are key human factors that result in suboptimal, incorrect, or faulty maintenance.
Human Failure Types
- According to James Reason, there are two types of human failure: active and latent failures.
- Errors by aircraft mechanics fall into three categories: slips, mistakes, and violations.
Human Error Consequences
- Consequences of human error include personal injury, mental stressors, and catastrophic results.
Human Factor Issues
- The positive aspects of human factor issues are referred to as the Magnificent Seven.
- The three types of human error are omission, commission, and extraneous.
Aviation Safety
- When thinking of aviation safety, human error is considered the starting point.
- Accidents and engineering faults are insignificant and decreasing.
Mechanic Privileges and Limitations
- Certificated mechanics with an airframe rating may perform minor repairs to an airspeed indicator.
- Certificated mechanics are not allowed to perform and approve repairs or alterations to propellers.
Airworthiness Directive
- An airworthiness directive requires that a propeller be altered, and certificated mechanics cannot perform and approve the work.
