Pilot Decisions & Human Factors

This course is designed to increase awareness and understanding of the human factors involved in the aviation industry. It does this in two ways: It examines the human factors involved in risk and the different levels of risk management. It also examines the factors that affect the human body such as stress, fatigue, medications, etc. and how they pertain to a pilot's performance in an aircraft. The students will also explore pilot decision making, with an introduction into risk management and crew resource management. They will investigate how the decisions made by pilots directly relate to flight performance and safety, and how a pilot should use all the resources available to them to make an informed decision. This course provides students an opportunity to examine their personal attitudes, values, and behaviours in order to minimize the possibility of aviation occurrences. This will be compared to the view of pilots by industry, and what the actual expectations / responsibilities are.
