  • Abstract:
    The safety, reliability, and efficiency of the National Airspace System (NAS) depend upon ; the men and women who operate and use it. Aviation human factors research is the study of ; how people function in the performance of their jobs as pilots, controllers, maintenance, ; and ground support personnel. Increasing automation and system complexity are placing ; new and different demands on the staff of the nation's air transportation system. Concern ; over human performance in safety has been raised in Congress, industry and the academic ; community. Recently, special attention has been placed on both the air traffic control ; (ATC) system and flight deck operations. ; In the past, with a few notable exceptions, such as Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance ; System (TCAS) and Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS), the development and ; application of new aviation system technology both in the ATC and flight systems has been ; directed toward increasing the traffic capacity of the NAS, rather than being directed ; primarily toward the improvement of flight safety. The present program is intended to ; develop and apply advanced behavioral analysis and technology specifically toward the ; advancement of flight safety.
