While it is true that fortune favors the prepared mind, in the field of aviation, it may be equally true that misfortune often punishes an unprepared mind. To be fully prepared, pilots must have comprehensive knowledge of weather, aerodynamics, propulsion, navigation, and all the other technical disciplines. However, they must also have a comprehensive understanding of the component that is simultaneously the most fragile and most resilient, the most unreliable and the most adaptable―the human being.

Aviation Psychology and Human Factors explores the application of psychological principles and techniques to the specific situations and problems of aviation. It provides a complete overview of the role of psychology in the field of aviation. The authors address the contribution of psychology in the design of aviation systems, the selection and training of pilots, the psychological characteristics of pilots that may relate to aviation safety, and to the behavior of passengers. They cover key concepts of psychological research and data analysis at a depth that fosters a greater appreciation of how these tools are used in the development of new psychological knowledge.

A keener understanding of aviation psychology will better prepare pilots for the demands that aviation will make. While many books cover this subject for psychologists, very few, if any present the material to pilots. With balanced coverage that makes the material accessible to both, this book makes pilots aware of the positive impact psychology and its application can have on improving aviation operations, providing specific information that pilots can use in their daily operations. It gives psychologists a better understanding of how their discipline is applied to aviation, while giving pilots the tools to better evaluate and implement future products in the field of aviation psychology.

    Dr. David Hunter (1945 - ) is a former military helicopter pilot with combat experience in South East Asia and holds a commercial pilot license for both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. Although he enjoyed flying, he disliked having people shoot at him, and left the military to return to school. He completed his undergraduate education at the University of Texas at Arlington, where he earned a B.S. in psychology. He then worked for over ten years for the US Air Force, where he conducted research on the use of computer-based tests for the selection of pilots, and earned his Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. During that period he also served for two years as an exchange scientist with the UK Royal Air Force. He has served as an advisor for the human factors design of new aviation systems for the US Army. He also served as the Principal Scientist for Human Performance with the Federal Aviation Administration, where he conducted research and managed programs to improve safety among general aviation pilots. Dr. Hunter has over 30 years of experience as an aviation psychologist and is currently an independent consultant in Phoenix, Arizona.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Human Factors Book!
Reviewed in the United States on 25 September 2010
Verified Purchase
I've read a lot on the subject of aviation psychology and human factors during my time as a student in aviation, and this book is among the best of what's available. Written by two active experts in the field of aviation psychology, the book provides an in-depth look at the subject, including summations of much of the significant research that has been done in the field.

For a student in the field on aviation, whether you're a pilot, a controller, or even just an interested researcher, I would highly recommend this book.

Great breakdown of Aviation Psychology, why It differs from traditional psychology and many great areas of interest for someone pursuing a Human Factors type understanding within aviation.
