Chapter 2: Human errors
According to the research that l have carried out there are a number of factors which lead to the human errors in aviation. They depend with what they lead to and most of them have to be hidden in our capabilities, as all human are bond to make mistakes. Although these are called errors after they cause catastrophic or minor accidents if they do not some may be called discoveries and applied even more. Some of them are elaborated in detail below:
2.1 Elements of human factors
They are made up many disciplines and their study is difficult. This is made so because they are no distinct answer to how people are affected by an event or deceive conditions. By putting and learning to understand each of the disciplines to various

When it is for the purpose of preventing, understanding and relieving psychologically based dysfunction and encourage subjective personal development it is called clinical psychology. Focusing on the mental well-being of individuals it can help deal with stress, poor self esteem, accepting corrections and oppression from coworkers and mechanism for complex situations. Another from which deals with studies of standard behavioral, sometimes in a laboratory environment is called experimental psychology. It measures performance, deficiencies and productivity in an attempt to test results of work policies. Problem solving, reading, eating are some of the physiological processes underlying behaviors. Some processes include sensation, learning, human performance, memory, thinking, communication and perception.
When they take into account the relations between people and work it is known as organizational psychology. Areas they cover include consumer habits and the choosing, placement, training, development of agents. Organizational structure and organizational change, job pleasing, consumer behavior are some of the interests. Understanding this concept helps aviation maintenance supervisors learn about some facts below, if executed, can improve the productivity and work

It is important to aviation maintenance because of the atmosphere and environment that aviation maintenance technicians (AMTS) have to operate with. For instance, a person who is 7 feet 9 inches and weighs 300 pounds is tasked to repair a small component by crawling inside the space of an aircraft. The weight and size of tools and equipment is another example. Both men and women are equally able of doing the same task and a high level efficiency. Although, men and women are generally on two different spectrums of weight and height, an individual who is smaller maybe be able to do the work more proficiency with tools that are tailored to their size as compared with the average being. In short the term the average person and one size fits all does not apply when hiring such a variety group of
American Airlines Flight 1420 June 1, 1999, a McDonnel Douglas DC-9-82, dispatched as American Airlines 1420, crashed after it had overran runway 4R, at Little Rock National Airport. The flight claimed the lives of 11 people, including the captain, and 105 passengers received serious or minor injuries, including the first officer and flight attendants (NTSB, 1999). According to the NTSB, this accident was due to pilot error (NTSB, 1999). This report will exam all human interaction as well as performance, utilizing Dr. Scott Shappell’s and Dr. Doug Wiegmann’s HFACS model, so one may find the route cause of the errors, and prevent similar accidents in the future.
Psychology and its Implications Student’s Name Institution Affiliation Psychology and its Implications Introduction Psychology has been used for a long time to understand human behaviour. Basically, this is how human beings react to various stimuli. The reaction can originate from a past experience, for instance, death, sickness, and so forth. In the book The Perk of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky (2012), Charlie can be seen to be faced by psychological problems. Charlie is the major character in the novel.
HFACs is used to identify the probable causes of accidents by laying a valid framework to investigators analyzing aviation accidents. The two human factor errors that contributed to the accident were fatigue and situational stress. The organizational failures may not stand out to untrained bystanders. These organizational failures must be identified because, even though they may not be easily recognized, the failures of an organization’s oversite can lead to other human errors. When human factors and organizational failures happen at the same time, these types of events are likely to occur.
Psychologist observe, analyze and evaluate human and animal behavior. There are many fields of studies that fall into the category of being a psychologist. A couple of the most popular ones are clinical psychologist and counseling psychologist. Each psychologist major have different purposes.
The aim of this paper is to explain the accident of American Airlines Flight 587, an Airbus Industrie A300-605R, registration N14053 aircraft which crashed into a residential area of Belle Harbor, New York. The aircraft’s vertical stabilizer and rudder were separated during the flight. The safety issues discussed in this paper focus on characteristics of the A300-600 rudder control system design, A300-600 rudder pedal inputs at high airspeeds, aircraft-pilot coupling, flight operations at or below an airplane’s design maneuvering speed, and upset recovery training programs. Introduction:
The role of human factors in aviation accidents cannot be understated. It is crucial to note that instances such as the one discussed could be avoided by ensuring that the flights crew members are at peak performance, both physically and psychologically. Human factors, generally lead to lack of concentration and loss of focus on the core objective. Furthermore, it restricts the person from thinking about other variations or alternatives to the current situation. It is, therefore, advisable that airlines ensure they manage their personnel in a manner that does not predispose them to such
Gladwell gathered several sources of evidence to explain this phenomenon. The first part of the problem was communication. Transcripts were gathered from several planes in emergency situations and showed that the lack of proper communication between the captain and the first officer contributed to the accident. By giving a crew command and
When it comes to the science of psychology psychologist are looking deeper into what affects ones behavior and mental health. Looking at the environment, health issues, cognitive, learning, and etc… How does everything affect the overall mental health of a person? 2. Distinguish between a theory, a hypothesis, and an operational definition.
On 12 August 1985 JAL flight 123, which was a Boeing 747, lifted off from Haneda Tokyo International Airport for Osaka airport, some 215 miles away, at 6:12 p.m. After a normal takeoff the airplane reached its cruising altitude of 7200m, 12 minutes into the flight there were 2 explosions. The first explosion occurred when the aircraft’s aft pressure bulkhead ruptured causing an explosive decompression. The decompression caused the pressurized air from the cabin to rush out of the airplane which caused the vertical stabilizer of the aircraft to be ripped off, this caused the second explosion. The decompression also caused all four hydraulic lines of the aircraft to be cleaved. Oxygen masks for the passengers were deployed as the decompression
Rachel Danzig AP Psychology Dr. Eisen August 20, 2015 I. Psychology’s History A. Psychology’s Roots 1. Prescientific Psychology a. Socrates and his student Plato stated that the human mind is separate from the body and our knowledge is born within us b. Aristotle, Plato’s student, disagreed, concluding that knowledge can not be preexisting and we grow it from our experiences within our memories c. In the 1600s Rene Descartes believed that the mind can survive the body’s death and our brain holds animal spirits in its fluid and flow from the brain through nerves enabling reflexes d. In 1620 Francis Bacon established that humans functioned around order and patterns e. Adding to Bacon’s ideas was John

Psychology is defined as “the scientific study of the mind and behavior” (Introduction to Psychology, 2015). Psychology provides an overview of biology and behavior, sensation and perception, learning, memory, intelligence, language, motivation, emotion, abnormal psychology, and therapy (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 1). Because psychology allows for a better understanding of how the mind and body work, this knowledge can be beneficial for any field of study or career. The theoretical and practical understanding of the basics of psychology can help with decision-making, critical thinking, stress management, time management, better understanding of others, improving communication, and even achieving goals and objectives, all components that allow someone to be more successful throughout their life. Throughout this course I hope to gain a greater understanding of historical and theoretical perspectives of human behavior and development (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 2).
INTRODUCTION Clinical psychology is a broad branch of psychology that focuses on diagnosing and treating mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. Some of the more common disorders that might be treated include learning disabilities, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. The field of psychology became more recognized during the second half of the 19th century, although clinical psychology wasn't recognized until the end of the 19th century. It was around this time that Lightner Witmer first helped treat a boy with a learning disability.
This theory is probably the most essential motivation theory due to its perspective insight into human nature by interpreting the human behavior and actions. By applying this theory into its motivation and rewarding system, AirAsia would be able to motivate its employees as well as satisfying their needs. This is because AirAsia would have benefit by creating a workplace or environment that meets the needs of the employees such as food, shelter, health and job security, friendship and family as well as acknowledgement and recognition. This will then lead to a higher self-esteem and self-actualization among the employees which will results in unleashing the full potential of the employees in their daily business operations. This theory was widely popular among practicing managers including AirAsia’s managers because it is easy to understand and
