What it covers
In this unit students will learn and apply the concepts of human factors to the analysis, optimisation, and management of human work in aviation systems. Students will be able to recognise and apply the principles of human factors to situations in which the relationship between the human operator, task, environment, and/or technology are incompatible or problematic. Students will then develop potential solutions to address the identified human factors issues.
