DESCRIPTION:
Human error is implicated in nearly all aviation accidents, yet most investigation and prevention programs are not designed around any theoretical framework of human error. Specifically, the book serves as the main textbook for a course in aviation accident investigation taught by one of the authors at the University of Illinois. It attracts a very broad readership. military, commercial, or general aviation). In addition, the book will be incorporated into courses offered by Transportation Safety International and the Southern California Safety Institute. Additionally, the book has been incorporated into the popular workshop on accident analysis and prevention provided by the authors at several professional conferences world-wide. Appropriate for all levels of expertise, the book provides the knowledge and tools required to conduct a human err

James T. it contains a wealth of insight and it will be a useful addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in aviation safety. Fraser, M.D., Command Surgeon, Naval Safety Center, Norfolk, Virginia. 'This book is essential reading for all safety professionals, investigators and analysts. 'Bridging the gap between system safety theory and practice, this book provides a clear, comprehensive, field-tested framework to assist aviation safety professionals with investigating, analyzing, and assessing the impact of human error in aviation accidents and incidents. Time tested results of aircraft mishap analysis reveal that 80% of all mishaps have human factors as a significant contributi
"Three Stars" according to Chuck. Book for School. Good, thoughtful book about investigating and analyzing accidents E. Jaksetic The authors briefly discuss aviation accidents from a historical perspective (Chapter 1), and argue that various frameworks that have been proposed to analyze aviation accidents can be grouped or categorized into six different perspectives, each of which has various strengths and weaknesses (Chapter 2). The authors then discuss the model of accident causation developed by James Reason, consider the strengths and limitations of Reason's accident model, and describe the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) which was developed to apply Reason's accident model . Mr. Andrew Evans said At last a useful classification method. Good, well tested, well justified, human factors classification methodology from "At last a useful classification method" according to Mr. Andrew Evans.
