A handbook for flight safety officers and aviation accident investigators: This book is written for the aviation professional, providing the safety officer with basic information on human factors to run a mishap prevention program.
Aviation Safety - The Human Factor also gives the professional the information needed to apply principles of human factors to investigations.
