Welcome to the Aviation Human Factors web site. This site offers information, exercises, and tools to help pilots evaluate and improve their Aeronautical Decision Making. Primarily, this is aimed at general aviation pilots. However, some material specifically developed for military pilots is now available. |

Additions |
| Hazard Perception Test. This is a new assessment tool we are developing to evaluate how well pilots perceive hazards of flights. Flight Instructors are requested to complete this test so that we can develop a scoring key for other pilots. |
| On Landings. Almost anyone can get a light airplane into the air. However, getting it back onto the runway without bending the metal takes a bit of skill and knowledge. Check out the FAA's comprehensive set of programs on landing. |
| Risk Management and Good Decision Making. The Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand, in cooperation with the Aviation Industry Association, produced two training programs dealing with risk management and aeronautical decision making. Both these programs give good introductions to these topics and offer some worthwhile suggestions for improving your risk managment and decision making. |
| Density Altitude and the Deadly Sins. This presentation by an NTSB investigator highlights what you don't know about operations under high density altitude that will kill you. |
| New Book -- We are proud to announce the release of our new book on Aviation Psychology and Human Factors. We wrote this book specifically for pilots and other non-psychologists to introduce them to the principles and methods of psychology as they apply to aviation.
