Human Performance in General Aviation

Booknews

A collection of 12 studies produced in the Department of Psychology at the University of Otago, Australia. They focus on human performance in general aviation, rather than the airline or transport sectors most research considers. They discuss such topics as strategies for flight instruction, the development of computer-based training, stress and decision making, skill development, the involvement of pilots in incidents and accidents, human factor implications of using global positioning systems, and the future of aircraft design and development.
