Innovation and Consolidation in Aviation cover

This unique book expands the contribution of aviation psychology and human factors to the aviation industry within the Asia Pacific region, with participation from many other parts of the globe, and key local and international experts, developing the safety, efficiency and viability of the industry. It is a forward-looking work, providing new strategies for psychology and human factors to increase the safe and effective functioning of aviation organisations and systems, pertinent to both civil and military operations. This is the formal refereed proceedings of The Fifth Australian Aviation Psychology Symposium, Manly Beach, Sydney 2000. The symposium had a diverse range of contributions and Development Workshops, bringing together practitioners from aviation psychology and human factors, flight operations management, safety managers, pilots, cabin crew, air traffic controllers, engineering and maintenance personnel, air safety investigators, staff from manufacturers and regulatory bodies, and applied aviation industry researchers and academics. This book will be of interest to anyone involved in human factors, safety systems or aviation psychology within both the civil and military aviation industry.

'At first this book appears to be an eclectic collection of chapters addressing disparate human factors issues. Don’t be fooled, though. The chapters in this volume represent a comprehensive overview of many of the most pressing human factors problems in the fields of aviation and medicine. The book’s contributors are an outstanding international collection of recognised experts drawn from all facets of industry and academia, who are well placed to recognise these issues. Their chapters address a vast range of issues, from macro-level organisational safety issues to very specific topics, such as inadvertent evacuation slide activation. Anyone with a professional interest in aviation will find something of value within its pages. If you want to know what the human factors research agenda is for the first decade of the 21st Century, this book is an excellent place to start.' Dr Don Harris, Cranfield University, UK
