The key theme of this book is organizational learning and its consequences for the field of aviation safety. Air safety rates have been improving for a long time, demonstrating the effects of a good learning model at work. However, the pace of improvement has almost come to a standstill. Why is this? Many safety improvements have been embodied in technology. New devices and procedures appear almost daily, yet the rate of air safety improvement has dragged in recent years. Improving Air Safety through Organizational Learning explains this situation as being the consequence of a development model supported chiefly by information technology being introduced as an alternative to human operators....

Air safety is right now at a point where the chances of being killed in an aviation accident are far lower than the chances to winning a jackpot in any of the major lotteries. However, keeping or improving that performance level requires a critical analysis of some events that, despite scarce, point to structural failures in the learning process. The effect of these failures could increase soon if there is not a clear and right development path. This book tries to identify what is wrong, why there are things to fix, and some human factors principles to keep in aircraft design and operations. Features Shows, through different events, how the system learns through technology, practices, and regulations and the pitfalls of that learning process Discusses the use of information technology in safety-critical environments and why procedural knowledge is not enough Presents air safety management as a successful process, but at the same time, failures coming from technological and organizational features are shown Offers ways to improve from the human factors side by getting the right lessons from recent events

P. Eduardo Laforet (1957-1984). «Consumado en breve, llenó largos años» (Sab 4, 13). En sólo veintisiete años dio grandes pruebas del amor de Dios. Eso es lo que nos transmite Alpinista del espíritu, que no es una biografía propiamente, ni una semblanza (ya hay una en esta misma colección, Por sus frutos), aunque algo tenga de ello. Por medio de ocho contribuciones de seis autores que lo conocieron y trataron, se nos narra la trayectoria de una vida que siente sucesivamente la llamada a la plena consagración a Dios (Cruzados de Santa María), al sacerdocio, y a la entrega de su vida por el papa Juan Pablo II, herido de muerte en un atentado el 13 de mayo de 1981. Así, una inespera...
