NEW Human Performance on the Flight DeckDon Harris, HFI Solutions Ltd, UK

‘Whoever is looking for a most up-to-date text on human factors in aviation, look no further. Don Harris’s Human Performance on the Flight Deck is comprehensive, balanced, extensively illustrated and well-referenced. Don Harris leaves no topic untouched. His book is complete, a great standard for teachers and instructors alike.’

Sidney Dekker, Griffith University, Australia

Taking an integrated, systems approach to human performance issues on the flight deck of the modern airliner, this book describes the inter-relationships between the various application areas of human factors, recognising that the human contribution to the operation of an airliner does not fall into neat pigeonholes. The relationship between areas such as pilot selection, training, flight deck design and safety management is continually emphasised. It also affirms the upside of human factors in aviation and avoids placing undue emphasis on when the human component fails.

The Multitasking MythHandling Complexity in Real-World Operations

Loukia D. Loukopoulos, R. Key Dismukes and Immanuel Barshi, all at the NASA Ames Research Center, USA


Despite growing concern with the effects of concurrent task demands on human performance, and research demonstrating that these demands are associated with vulnerability to error, so far there has been only limited research into the nature and range of concurrent task demands in real-world settings. This book presents a set of NASA studies that characterize the nature of concurrent task demands confronting airline flight crews in routine operations, as opposed to emergency situations. The authors analyze these demands in light of what is known about cognitive processes, particularly those of attention and memory, with the focus upon inadvertent omissions of intended actions by skilled pilots.

Preface

It was only four years ago since the sixth edition of this book was published, and the global aviation industry has experienced numerous changes that, in many cases, were not predicted. The seventh edition of Air Transportation: A Management Perspective covers the reasoning behind such changes and attempts to forecast the future to a certain degree in terms of how air transportation will evolve.

On September 11, 2001, the aviation industry started a new era in history as a result of the terrible terrorist attacks against the United States. The Iraqi crisis, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), record fuel and oil prices, massive financial losses, looming threats of terrorism, and political instability have contributed to continued restructuring of the industry. general aviation, including business aviation, and commercial aviation have been impacted as have manufacturers and all other participants in aviation. At the time of the last printing, the industry was in a period of survive, adapt and recover. Today, the industry is in a period of rethink resulting in organizations becoming more efficient as a result of recent turbulent times. Airlines continue to fail as will always be the case but there are a lot of positive success stories at the same time. Aircraft manufacturers like Airbus and Boeing have experienced positive growth with the design of new and efficient aircraft while regional jet manufacturers have experienced, in some cases, negative results due to the changing nature of route network development and airline restructuring programs. Such manufacturers are being faced with the challenge of determining what the next stage in aircraft technology is.

A previous edition of this book stated 2005 would be the year in which the global air transportation industry would be back at “normal” levels. For the most part, this is true. Some regions of the world were somewhat isolated from the events of 9/11 and more recent events and air carriers of different types and sizes are excelling. In other regions of the world, there are distinctive growth patterns ranging from slow to fast. In 2011, load factors are back up to regular levels and yet airlines continue to struggle as a result of annually increasing operational costs.

The global air transportation industry changes on a daily basis and it is important to understand this change must be examined on a regional basis more so than a global basis. As defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the world consists of North America, Latin America and Caribbean, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East. Building on a tested framework of subject areas, this book incorporates the trends, challenges and strategies impacting all regions of the world creating a modern revision suitable for academic and industry use for some time to come. The challenge of an author writing a new edition of a well established book, is to produce something readers
