| Summary |
|---|
| The course Human Performance and Limitations II follows the course Human Performance and Limitations I, its purpose is to go more in depth in the field of human physiology and psychology in connection with the medical qualifications of licensed aviation personnel. In this course, students will get acquainted with modern tools to increase the reliability of the human factor for both individuals and work teams (crews) and will have the opportunity to try some situations leading to human factor failure and also possible tools to reduce the risk of these processes using simulation technologies. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| The aim of the course is to achieve in students the competencies needed for orientation in the issue of human performance and its limitations in the operation of aviation systems. Aviation systems are among the risk systems where even a small human factor failure can result in large loss of life, health or property, and the probability of a human factor failure today is much higher than a potential technology failure. Completion of this course is also part of the theoretical training to obtain the relevant aviation qualifications. |
