The Impact of Human Error on Aviation Safety

Overview

As we have seen in the resources in this module, human error in aviation is a major contributor to aviation accidents and incidents. Combatting human error within an organization presents the aviation safety manager with many challenges. Building and sustaining an effective safety program requires the aviation manager to understand the factors that contribute to human error.

Scenario

For your blog, select one contributor to human error from this module’s resources that poses a significant threat to aviation safety. You can choose any contributor you wish (e.g., one of the Dirty Dozen, one of the Five Hazardous Attitudes, an Aero-Medical Factor, etc.) for your topic. In your blog, provide a brief overview of the contributor and explain why it poses a significant threat. Also, be sure to include the impact your contributor has on overall aviation safety.
