Airworthiness for Human Factors

Airworthiness professionals keep aircraft flying safe. They are highly skilled individuals who are meticulous in their work. Even in the best of working environments the Human Factor (HF) comes into play. We all make errors and can get fatigued. To stay safe, we must know how HF affects safety performance in aviation.

In design, production, and maintenance that means understanding the causes and consequences of occurrences, so they do not become accidents and serious incidents. IFA is looking at the body of knowledge on HF and the latest developments of this subject.
