provides information about human factors applied in safety in aeronautics.
This website offers suggestions dedicated to aviation safety, but centered on its most critical area: the human factors. The following maxim the key base of :
The human operator,

This shows the deep paradox regarding the need of the human being versus its weaknesses. |

As it takes years to train a pilot, a chief purser, an engineer, it takes years to be able to deal with human factors issues.
propose an approachable and modern point of view of the human behaviors in daily operations.
Thus, this web site concern mainly the people involved in the aviation industry (pilots, mechanics, engineers, cabin attendants, managers, etc.).
The human factors concepts are not limited to the aeronautic, since they concern all the type of operations.
At least such a web site is never achieved. There are always corrections to bring and materials to add.
Since April 2005, is hosted by OVH. |
