Considering the Value of Online Aviation Human Factors Training
Aviation Human Factors training has only been mandatory for the last 10 years with the EASA compliant maintenance environment.
Why Aviation Human Factors Training?
Well currently some 80% of aircraft accidents are attributable to human error, shared between pilots, maintenance staff and Air Traffic Control, Ground Operations and a very small percentage to other factors.
In the main it should be understood that this is a situation which is recognized as rectifiable through the process of raising awareness, training including the associated management of competence and implementation of effective process and procedure and effective communication within the workplace.
The importance of Human Factors to flight safety was officially recognized by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in 1986. The UK CAA and several other countries regulatory authorities piloted Human Factors training for maintenance staff back in the 1990’s, early indications were that it does indeed act as the catalyst for behavioral change within the workplace, and delivered correctly can deliver real and meaningful results.
Human Factors training is the process whereby the employee is made aware of the critical nature of many of the human attributes we possess and the effect they can have in the work place. In addition specific ways of dealing with these behavioral issues are discussed and considered usually through group discussion.
EASA mandated the implementation of the requirement for human factors training back in 2006 ref EASA PT 145.A.30. Human factors training is mandatory for specific groups of staff employed in the production, logistic, planning, technical and quality areas of the organisation.
