Study Notes
- Aviation accidents can be caused or contributed to by human factors, with at least 80% of maintenance-related incidents involving human errors.
- Aviation maintenance is crucial for safety but mistakes made by Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMTs) can be difficult to detect and can lead to injuries, wasted time, and accidents.
- AMTs face unique challenges as they often work in adverse conditions, including evening or early morning hours, confined spaces, and extreme temperatures.
- Maintenance errors can include incorrectly installed parts, missing parts, or missed checks.
- AMTs spend more time preparing for a task than actually carrying it out, and proper documentation is essential.
- Human factors are crucial in aviation maintenance as they can impact worker performance and safety.
- Aging and abnormal medical conditions are factors that can affect AMTs; vision loss and obesity can compromise their ability to perform tasks and lead to latent errors.
- PEAR model is a tool used in aviation maintenance to identify human factors and helps in mitigating the risk of errors.
- PEAR stands for People, Environment, Actions, and Resources.
- People: Refers to the humans in the system, including their physical and cognitive capabilities, communication styles, decision-making, and leadership skills.
- Environment: Refers to both the physical environment and the organizational environment, including lighting, temperature, noise level, time of day, supervision, and existing organizational norms.
- Actions: Refers to the tasks performed by AMTs and the potential for errors.
- Resources: Refers to the necessary tools, equipment, and information to complete the job.
- PEAR model was developed to help aviation maintenance personnel identify human factors and relate to tasks and conditions within the maintenance environment.
- The PEAR model covers both technical and human factors considerations, including training, fatigue, stress, and motivations.
