Human factors in aviation

The human element is the most flexible, adaptable and valuable part of the aviation system. But it is also the most vulnerable to influences which can adversely affect its performance. Recognising the human element of the system not only leads to a safer operation but also leads to greater productivity and smoother implementation of technology.

A good understanding and awareness of the factors influencing that human performance gives people the opportunity to improve both their individual and team performance.
