Human Factors
Civil Aviation
The Aviation industry is supported by many diverse groups of jobs and people. They are
responsible for many aspects of aircraft and air traffic operations and their work is crucial in
ensuring the safety of the aircraft, passengers and cargo.
A large percentage of aircraft incidents and accidents occur due to human error. Human error
can best be managed by education and inculcating awareness of all personnel, through
training in the area of Human Factors.
The SAC Aviation Human Factors Course is recommended for all air and ground personnel
within the aviation industry. This course is designed to provide a strong foundation in
cognitive Human Factors and Crew Resources Management issues. Students, trainees and
personnel involved in aviation who have never had indoctrination in this field would find the
contents enriching and relevant.
