The Limits of Expertise
The Limits of Expertise reports a study of the 19 major U.S. airline accidents from 1991-2000 in which the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found crew error to be a causal factor. Each accident is reported in a separate chapter that examines events and crew actions and explores the cognitive processes in play at each step.
The Multitasking Myth
Despite growing concern with the effects of concurrent task demands on human performance, and research demonstrating that these demands are associated with vulnerability to error, so far there has been only limited research into the nature and range of concurrent task demands in real-world settings. This book presents a set of NASA studies that characterize the nature of concurrent task demands confronting airline flight crews in routine operations, as opposed to emergency situations. The authors analyze these demands in light of what is known about cognitive processes, particularly those of attention and memory, with the focus upon inadvertent omissions of intended actions by skilled pilots...
Leolvadás
Egy metróhálózat vezérlőrendszerének összeomlása. Véletlen gyógyszer-túladagolás egy korszerű kórházban. Odaégett ünnepi vacsora. Első pillantásra nem látszik, mi bennük a közös. Ám meglepő új kutatások bizonyítják, hogy mindezek az események – és még számtalan más, naponta az újságok címlapjára kerülő katasztrófa – azonos okokra vezethetők vissza. Ha megértjük, mi rejlik e hibák mögött, jobb rendszereket tervezhetünk, hatékonyabb csapatokat alkothatunk, és új alapokra helyezhetjük a döntéshozatalt otthon és a munkahelyünkön egyaránt. A társadalomtudomány legújabb felfedezéseit izgalmas történeteken, esetismertetéseken kere...

The Myth of Multitasking
Through anecdotal and real-world examples, learn how multitasking hurts your focus and productivity and how doing one thing at a time is more effective. “Remember this rule: the more responsibility you have, the more hats you wear, the more likely you are to become inefficient.” In a compelling business fable, The Myth of Multitasking confronts a popular idea that has come to define our hectic, work-a-day world. This simple yet powerful book shows clearly why multitasking is, in fact, a lie that wastes time and costs money. Far from being efficient, multitasking actually damages productivity and relationships at work and at home. In his groundbreaking book, management expert Dave Crensha...
QF32
QF32 is the award winning bestseller from Richard de Crespigny, author of the forthcoming Fly!: Life Lessons from the Cockpit of QF32 On 4 November 2010, a flight from Singapore to Sydney came within a knife edge of being one of the world's worst air disasters. Shortly after leaving Changi Airport, an explosion shattered Engine 2 of Qantas flight QF32 - an Airbus A380, the largest and most advanced passenger plane ever built. Hundreds of pieces of shrapnel ripped through the wing and fuselage, creating chaos as vital flight systems and back-ups were destroyed or degraded. In other hands, the plane might have been lost with all 469 people on board, but a supremely experienced flight crew, led...
Aviation Psychology and Human Factors
This book covers the application of psychological principles and techniques to situations and problems of aviation. It offers an overview of the role psychology plays in aviation, system design, selection and training of pilots, characteristics of pilots, safety, and passenger behavior. It covers concepts of psychological research and data analysis and shows how these tools are used in the development of new psychological knowledge. The new edition offers material on physiological effects on pilot performance, a new chapter on aviation physiology, more material on fatigue, safety culture, mental health and safety, as well as practical examples and exercises after each chapter.
Misunderstandings in ATC Communication
Effective radio communication between ATC and pilots has long been recognized as an important element of aviation safety. In recognition of the role miscommunications play in aviation incidents and accidents, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recently introduced language proficiency requirements for all flight personnel in all ICAO member states. Using an effective and economical experimental paradigm, the research described here teases apart the complex combination of factors (e.g. speech rate, controller message length, English language proficiency, cognitive workload) believed to contribute to miscommunications between controllers and pilots. Misunderstandings in ATC Co...
