Human Factors in Aviation Summary

Human Factors in Aviation by Earl L. Wiener

Human Factors in Aviation, written for the widespread aviation community--engineers, scientist, pilots, managers, government personnel, and others--is also be of interest to those in nonaviation fields. The authors/contributors were chosen not only as experts in their fields, but because they could write for a wider audience than they customarily address. The organization of the book takes the reader from the general to the specific, first covering broad issues, then the more specific topics of pilot performance, human factors in aircraft design, and vehicles and systems. The physiological and medical aspects are well documented also.

Human Factors in Aviation Reviews

This is the book to read if you wish to know how behavioral concepts underlie pilot performance... Worth procuring if you are interested in pilot performance. It is handsomely produced and would be a worthy addition to any library. --HUMAN FACTORS SOCIETY BULLETIN This is a book that would be well worth having on one's shelf. For the human-factors psychologist, it is a necessity: many chapters provide not only thorough historical reviews, but also reports on state-of-the-art research and practice in applications to aviation. For other psychologists, the book is a powerful demonstration of the impact that basic theory and empirical research in psychology can have for real world phenomena. The editors and authors have provided the psychological community with a vivid description of how experimental, physiological, social, and differential psychology can combine to create an interface with the technological world outside of the laboratory. --CONTEMPORARY PSYCHOLOGY, Phillip L. Ackerman This book is by far the most authoritative resource in human factors to be published in many years. Human Factors in Aviation is a successful attempt to define the scientific issues underlying this vitally important field of study and provides a framework to understand future endeavors. --Air Line Pilot, DONALD E. HUDSON, M.D., Alpha Associate Aeromedical Advisor Only once in a great while in any discipline does a text come along that sets the standard for many years. This is such a book... This is the stuff that makes instant experts. Instead of becoming informed by reading conflicting papers over a long period of time, you can just read this book. --THE SAFETY MIND, Captain Don Smith This big volume, by about thirty human engineering and aviation experts, is the definitive book on the application of human factors to aviation... should be required reading for ATC system designers and administrators. --AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL

About Earl L. Wiener

Earl L. Wiener is a professor of management science and industrial engineering at the University of Miami. He received his B.A. in psychology from Duke University and his Ph.D. in psychology and industrial engineering from Ohio State University. He served as a pilot in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army and is rated in fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. He has conducted research in the areas of human vigilance, automobile and aviation safety, and accidents occurring to the elderly. Since 1979 he has been active in the aeronautics and cockpit automation research of NASA's Ames Research Center. Dr. Wiener is a fellow of the Human Factors Society and the American Psychological Association. David C. Nagel is the chief of the Aerospace Human Factors Research Division at NASA's Ames Research Center. The division is responsible for conducting a broad spectrum of research in the areas of human performance and aeronautical and space human factors. Areas studied include individual and group performance, human-computer interaction, supervisory control, interface designs for autonomous systems, computational human engineering methods, and advanced space suits and portable life-support systems. Dr. Nagel has undergraduate and graduate degrees in engineering and a Ph.D. in perception and mathematical psychology, all from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).
