Man as a Precious Resource: The Enhancement of Human Effectiveness in Flight Operations.

Abstract

The enhancement of human effectiveness in flight operations involves the complementary processes of behavioral engineering and the selection and training of personnel: the former serves to reduce the need for the latter; the latter completes the job left undone by the former. Behavioral engineering is discussed with reference to the intentional effort to design equipment, organize system elements, and develop operational procedures to maximize system performance while minimizing the need to select and train personnel. Research provides objective scientific evidence upon which to base decisions concerning the design of aviation systems and procedures and the selection and training of personnel. Specific research topics are reviewed.
