Class Human Limitations in Aviation

Acquire the skills necessary to identify individual and environmental risks that can induce human-caused incidents or accidents. In this context the student develops the following specific skills: Ability to propose the most appropriate techniques for the assessment of physiological limitations Ability to understand the various factors that lead to error, latent errors and active errors, individual and organizational accidents and defense barriers; Ability to interpret and implement national and international standards for fatigue management processes, training management, team management; Ability to propose the most up
