This textbook provides students and the broader aviation community with
a complete, accessible guide to the subject of human factors in
aviation. It covers the history of the field before breaking down the
physical and psychological factors, organizational levels, technology,
training, and other pivotal components of a pilot and crew's routine
work in the field.
The information is organized into easy-to-digest chapters with summaries
and exercises based on key concepts covered, and it is supported by more
than 100 full-color illustrations and photographs. All knowledge of
human factors required in aviation university studies is conveyed in a
concise and casual manner, through the use of helpful margin notes and
anecdotes that appear throughout the text.
