Book excerpt: Considering the severe consequences that can arise when things go wrong in aviation, it is essential to understand the wide range of factors that can compromise safety. If a pilot lets their guard down during a flight, many of these factors can lead to disaster. This is why the study of pilot performance and limitations is now one of the major areas a pilot must master. The focus of this book is on the performance and limitations of commercial pilots. This book follows closely the syllabi of Human Factors and Human Performance and Limitations from a range of aviation authorities around the world. This book goes beyond these syllabi, with a particular focus on practical aviation, linking science with the real world. Each chapter contains a range of visual figures in full color and mini case studies that will allow the reader to have a deeper understanding of the range of factors that can affect a pilot's ability to fly an aircraft safely.
