Abstract

Čimbenici iz grupe ''ljudskog faktora'' predmetom su istraživanja u zrakoplovnoj industriji jer čovjek nije sposoban pravilno percipirati dinamički radni okoliš pilotske kabine, odnosno ograničen je utjecajem umora i svojom sposobnošću koja se odnosi na senzorne i percepcijske kognitivne procese. Navedeno definira područje rada pilota u sustavu čovjek-stroj-okoliš u kojemu je moguće odrediti utjecajne čimbenike kao što su stres ili radno opterećenje, a koji mogu utjecati na radnu sposobnost i razinu izvedbe radnog zadatka. Održavanje utjecajnih čimbenika ''ljudskog faktora'' unutar njihovih preporučenih raspona uz adekvatan dizajn pilotske kabine, rezultirat će optimizacijom rada, uklanjanjem latentnih stresora i prijetnji, smanjenjem broja krivih reakcija, a s ciljem potpune eliminacije negativnih posljedica u smislu gubitka kontrole i nadzora nad zrakoplovom, gubitka zrakoplova i posljedica s fatalnim ishodom.

Abstract (english)

The reasoning behind the research of human factors in aviation industry lies in the human limitations to adequatly perceive the dynamic working environment of the flight deck, moreover humans are limited by levels of fatique and abilities respective to sensory and cognition processing. This mentioned field of research defines the pilot's working environment in the human-machine-environment system in which human factors like stress or workload can be indentified and analysed for the influence on working ability and level of performance. By maintaining the obtained human factors data within it's recomended span and the use of an adequate flight deck design, results referred to optimization, mitigation of latent stressors, hazards, and pilot errors can be achieved, with the purpose to eliminate negative consequences such as loss of control and surveillance, fatalities and loss of aircraft.
