Unit 4 Unmanned Aircraft Module 1 – Human interaction and UAS

Module 1 – human Interaction and uas 1.1 – The Human Element Software Interaction Increased complexity of the software may lead to decreases in efficiency. Types of learning ERRORS Skill Skill based errors are defined as an action made and not what is intended Can be caused by hitting the wrong button, or forgetting the objectives of the mission Knowledge Caused by mistakes from lack of knowledge or a type of decision error Often done when someone does not know how to preform a task Rule Error in which planning or the decision resulted in an error form not following a procedure or rule Actions match intentions but outcome is affected by rule/procedure violations Violations This sections is for explicit violations of rules, broken into two sub categories Routine – violations regularly preformed and is tolerated by the organization or flight department Exceptional – isolated and are not condoned by management

Module 1 – human Interaction and uas 107.74 Initial and recurrent training courses An initial training course covers that following areas of knowledge: Applicable regulations relating to small unmanned aircraft system rating privileges, limitations, and flight operations; Effects of weather on small unmanned aircraft performance; Small unmanned aircraft loading; Emergency procedures; Crew resource management; Determining the performance of small unmanned aircraft; and Maintenance and preflight inspection procedures. 1.1 – The Human Element Reasons for Learning ERRORS Experience Can transfer from on system or organization to another Can cause an operator to become more lax as they more familiar Software Design Automation can be a great asset to an operator Over relicense on automation can cause the operator to reduce vigilance System Complexity Operator error that leads to spending to much time on controlling the system Complex menu structures, control mechanics, or other factors can have an effect on the operator

Module 1 – human Interaction and uas 107.74 Initial and recurrent training courses (b) A recurrent training course covers the following areas of knowledge: Applicable regulations relating to small unmanned aircraft system rating privileges, limitations, and flight operation; Emergency procedures; Crew resource management; and Maintenance and preflight inspection procedures. 1.1 – The Human Element Reasons for Learning ERRORS Stress Can come from three sources: physical, physiological, or psychological Can be acute or chronic Acute – short term stress Chronic – long term stress Can have both a positive and negative effect on performance Four ways to deal with stress Ignore the problem – saying the risks are not serious and corrective action is not warranted Minor action – identifying the risks but the risks are tow low for alternative actions Avoiding the problem – find a way to achieve the same desired output without involving risk Stay Vigilant Fatigue Sleepiness or desire to rest due to several factors Long shifts, environmental stressors, high workload, repeated chronic stress, or interruption of circadian rhythms

Module 1 – human Interaction and uas 1.1 – The Human Element Reasons for Learning ERRORS Communication breakdown Can be the result of: Changes in the environment Chang in system status Assuming roles of other crewmembers Not speaking up or making danger clear to other workers
