  7. Introduction to Aviation Human Factors

  8. Quote of the Day “In flying I have learned that carelessness and overconfidence are usually far more dangerous than deliberately accepted risks.” - Wilbur Wright September 1900.-

  9. Syllabus • Human Factors and Flight Physiology • The atmosphere and hypoxia • Hyperventilation and Cabin Pressurization • Decompression Sickness and Trapped Gas • Vision • Motion Sickness • G-Force and Accelerations • Alcohol and Flying • Stress • General Health (Jet Lag, Adequate Sleep, Effect of lack of sleep)

  10. Course Objectives • Provide knowledge to students the general factors in aviation medicine affecting humans in atmosphere for understanding and prevention purposes. • Students should be able to appreciate the causes of certain aviation sickness and their precautionary needed to overcome them.

  11. Course Synopsis • This module provide the knowledge or how people, crew and passengers are affected when flying in high altitude. The ability to know how behaviors of human beings in aircrafts, students will be able to understand the needs of passengers in an aircrafts.

  12. Learning Outcomes • Appreciate and understanding the relevancies of studying human factors in aviation. • Understand the relation between liveware to other elements (software, hardware, and environment). • Acquire some basic understanding of Human Physiology

  13. Definition of Human Factor According to Federal Aviation Administration, FAA: • Human Factors is defined as a multidisciplinary effort to generate and compile information about human capabilities and limitations and apply that information to equipment, systems, facilities, procedures, jobs, environments, training, staffing and personnel management forsafe, comfortable, effective human performance (FAA Order 9550.8 Human Factors Policy).

  14. According to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) : "Human Factors is about people : it is about people in their working and living environments, and it is about their relationship with equipment, procedures, and the environment. Just as importantly, it is about their relationships with other people.... It’s two objectives can be seen as safety and efficiency.” -(ICAO Circular 227)

  15. Objectives of AHF • Identify the technical efforts necessary to address the most operationally significant human issues (e.g.: flying syndromes) in aviation and acquire necessary resources to respond to these issues. • Understand the human part and to recognize when the body and/or mind is not in tune with the aircraft. • Maintain and develop high level of awareness of physiology of flight.

  16. Accidents & Incidents • What is the differences between accident and incident?? • Incident: event • Accident: event that caused unintentionally.

  17. SHEL Model • Concept introduced by ICAO. • Examines the interrelationship of human factors (Liveware (L)) and aviation environment (Environment (E), Hardware (H), Software (S)).

  18. H L E S L SHELL CONCEPT S = Software H = Hardware E = Environment L = Liveware L = Liveware

  19. SHELL CONCEPT

  20. Why must study Human Factor? • More than 70%Aviation accidents and incidents can be related to Human Factors causes. • Other factors: weather , equipment, maintenance, airport/ATC , other

  21. Why must study Human Factor?

  22. ANY QUESTION?? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION!
