Second Edition
Edited By
Eduardo Salas, Dept. of Psychology and Inst. for Simulation and Training, Universtity of Central Florida, Orlando, USA
Dan Maurino, International Civil Aviation Organization, Montreal, Canada
Description
This edited textbook will be a fully updated and expanded version of the highly successful first edition of Human Factors in Aviation.
Written for the widespread aviation community - students, engineers, scientists, pilots, managers, government personnel, etc. – HFA
offers a comprehensive overview of the topic, taking readers from the general to the specific, first covering broad issues, then the
more specific topics of pilot performance, human factors in aircraft design, and vehicles and systems.
The new editors offer essential
breath of experience on aviation human factors from multiple perspectives (i.e. scientific research, regulation, funding agencies, technology,
and implementation) as well as knowledge about the science. The proposed contributors have all been chosen as experts in their fields.
Topics carried over from the first edition will be fully updated, often by new authors who are now at the fore of the field. New material – which will represent 50% of the volume – will focus on the challenges facing aviation specialists today. One of the most significant
developments in this decade has been NextGen, the Federal Aviation Administration?s plan to modernize national airspace and to address
the impact of air traffic growth by increasing airspace capacity and efficiency while simultaneously improving safety, environmental
impacts and user access. NextGen issues will be covered in full. Other new topics include: High Reliability Organizational Perspective,
Situation Awareness & Workload in Aviation, Human Error Analysis, Human-System Risk Management, LOSA, NOSS and Unmanned Aircraft System,
(miliary aviation?).
Audience
Primary:
Graduate students in human factors and aviation psychology courses; academic researchers in human factors area; aviation professionals
in military, government, private and commercial settings.
