Course Overview:
There are hundreds of human behaviour variables which affect the operations of any air carrier. These include both internal operations and client/passenger-facing processes. Sometimes, human error can have critical consequences. Many studies attribute up to 80% of critical incidents to human error. Other aviation roles including passenger/customer service, can be optimised through focusing on human factors.
With effective training, you can ensure risk is minimised. Topics including error models, discipline, knowledge, distraction, stress/fatigue, resources and training are all important, and are all touched on in our aviation human factors courses. Participants will learn important definitions and processes such as error and violation, decision making and conflict resoltuion and how the culture of the organisation can affect outcomes.

What our clients say about this course
I enjoyed how the video examples showed ‘in-house’ incidences and how they have occurred. That was very beneficial.
The part, such as the PEAR model of communication plays in controlling and preventing errors. This course identified the benefits of communication in all aspects of work.
Its amazing how much sleep deprivation and fatigue plays a part in our day to day life.
Rob the instructor was excellent and engaged the class well. He used great material to ensure the class was involved and could take a lot away from it. I think this was the best human factors course I have completed to date.
