This two volume set comprises an edited collection of papers from the 4th Australian Aviation Psychology Symposium and presents the reader with new strategies for the contributions of psychology and human factors to the safe and effective functioning of aviation organizations and systems. Both volu..

This book is the first dedicated to visual perception in aviation. It includes the foundations of visual and vestibular sensation and perception; how visual perceptual abilities are assessed in pilots; the pilot's perspective of visual flying; a summary of relevant human factors research; examples o..

Accidents are preventable - but only if they are correctly described and understood. Since the mid-1980s accidents have come to be seen as the consequence of complex interactions rather than simple threads of causes and effects.
