4. Learning Outcomes
AVIATION HUMAN FACTOR : AHF 2203
Appreciate and understanding the relevancies of studying human factors in aviation.
Understand the relation between liveware to other elements (software, hardware, and environment). {SHEL Concept}
Acquire some basic understanding of Human Physiology.

5. Definition of Human Factor
AVIATION HUMAN FACTOR : AHF 2203
According to Federal Aviation Administration, FAA:
Human Factors is defined as a multidisciplinary effort to generate and compile information about human capabilities and limitations and apply that information to equipment, systems, facilities, procedures, jobs, environments, training, staffing and personnel management for safe, comfortable, effective human performance (FAA Order Human Factors Policy).

6. According to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) :
AVIATION HUMAN FACTOR : AHF 2203
"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.... It’s two objectives can be seen as safety and efficiency.”
-(ICAO Circular 227)

7. Objectives of AHF
AVIATION HUMAN FACTOR : AHF 2203
Identify the technical efforts necessary to address the most operationally significant human issues (e.g.: flying syndromes) in aviation and acquire necessary resources to respond to these issues.
Understand the human part and to recognize when the body and/or mind is not in tune with the aircraft.
Maintain and develop high level of awareness of physiology of flight.

9. Accidents & Incidents
AVIATION HUMAN FACTOR : AHF 2203
What is the differences between accident and incident??
Incident: event
Accident: event that caused unintentionally.
What is differenced between accidents and incidents?

10. SHEL Model Most of aircraft accident were because of human error.
AVIATION HUMAN FACTOR : AHF 2203
Most of aircraft accident were because of human error.
Aircraft mechanical failures greatly decrease and rarely happen due to high and modern technology used in aviation.
The SHELL Model is defined as “the relationship of human factors and the aviation environment” (Reinhart, 1996, p. 6 10).
In the model the match mismatch of the block(interface) is just as important as characteristics of the blocks themselves. A mismatch can be a source of human error.
Liveware becomes a component as well as the central figure upon which each component will have an effect; thus, we can talk about the “human-machine” interaction (pilot moves a control), for example, while keeping in mind that there are other interactions (turbulence caused by weather).

11. H L E S L SHELL CONCEPT S = Software H = Hardware E = Environment
L = Liveware

12. SHELL CONCEPT Software: Procedures, Policies/Rules, Manuals
AVIATION HUMAN FACTOR : AHF 2203
Software: Procedures, Policies/Rules, Manuals
Hardware: Tools, Aircraft, Equipment, Workspaces, Buildings
Environment: Physical, Organizational, Political, Economic
Liveware (team): Teamwork, Communication, Leadership
Liveware (people): Physical, Knowledge, Attitudes, Cultures,

13. SHELL Model

Figure shown illustrates how the interface of flightcrew, machine, systems, equipment and software come together in airspace environment.

14. SHELL Concept
AVIATION HUMAN FACTOR : AHF 2203
However, many factors that cause people to become confused and make mistakes when handling aviation jobs such as:
Information transfer problem
Language difficulties when flying internationally
Mis-read checklist
Mis-interpret intrument indications
Weather condition
Fatigue
Psychological problem

15. Why must study Human Factor?
AVIATION HUMAN FACTOR : AHF 2203
More than 70% Aviation accidents and incidents can be related to Human Factors causes.
Other factors: weather , equipment, maintenance, airport/ATC , other
What is differenced between accidents and incidents?
