Human Factors and Pilot Error DVD

FOR PILOTS ONLY. Filmed during an FAA Aviation Safety Seminar, this video presents a training session on airborne physiological risk for every aviator from weekend flyers to airline transport pilots.Pilot Error. Words aviators never want to hear. Our training should make us impervious to mistakes, but there is not one pilot alive who can say he or she never made a mistake. When an error results in an aircraft incident or accident, we question why the pilot ignored information or physiology that can contribute to flaws in performance. This book contains an analysis of normal pilot lifestyle upsets including sleep patterns,, duty times, crossing time zones, performance stress, and dietary changes. It gives techniques to avoid flight performance deterioration from: dehydration, jet lag, ions, oxygen deprivation, stimulants, and brain neurotransmitter malfunction.
