Human Factors & Errors Management

Human Factors (HF) is recognised as important in the drive to improve aviation safety. According to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO):

"Human Factors is about people: it is about people in their working and living environments, and it is about their relationship with equipment, procedures and the environment. Just as importantly, it is about their relationships with other people. Human Factors involves the overall performance of human beings within the aviation system; it seeks to optimise people's performance through the systematic application of the human sciences, often integrated within the framework of system engineering. Its twin objectives can be seen as safety and efficiency. It is crucial that HF is integrated with SMS at every opportunity, and not considered separately.

Since amendment to Part 145 expanded the training requirement to extend to all staff as well as certifying staff, and to include initial as well as recurrent training, the change has been incorporated into the EASA requirements.
