With the pace of ongoing technological and teamwork evolution across air transport, there has never been a greater need to master the application and effective implementation of leading-edge human factors knowledge. Human Factors in Multi-Crew Flight Operations addresses this need by providing a vivid, practical context for the appreciation of Human Factors. Written from the perspective of the well-informed pilot, the content is pitched at a level suitable for those studying or currently engaged in air transport operations.

This work is the only available text to map the evolution, growth, and future expansion of human factors in aviation. It serves as a primary text for pilots and flight attendants while remaining an essential resource for engineers, scientists, managers, air traffic controllers, regulators, educators, researchers, and serious students of the industry.

Key Features Include:

• A unique, seamless text that has been intensively reviewed by subject specialists.
• Integration of contemporary regulatory requirements from ICAO, including references to FAA and JAA standards.
• Comprehensive detail on the evolutionary development of Human Factors within the air transport sector.
• Key statistics and detailed analysis regarding the size and scope of the aviation industry.
• In-depth demonstrations of how human factors contribute to solving current aviation problems, enhancing air transport safety, and informing certification processes.
• An exploration of future developments in human factors as a “core technology.”
• Extensive appendices, a glossary, and comprehensive indexes for ease of reference.
