Cockpit
Resource Management I'm using this as a text at the moment and so should be able to add a personal comment soon. Cockpit resource management (CRM) has gained increased attention from the airline industry in recent years due to the growing number of accidents and near misses in airline traffic. This volume is the first comprehensive work on CRM and is authored by the first generation of CRM experts. It presents a far-reaching discussion of crew coordination, communication, and resources both within and without the cockpit. For commercial and military aviation training curricula and, more broadly, for professionals in business and government interested in effective communication among interactive personnel. |

Human
Performance & Limitations in Aviation Human Performance and Limitations in Aviation, 2nd Edition - Campbell and Bagshaw, published by Blackwell Science. Human error is cited as a major cause in over 70% of accidents, and it is widely agreed that a better understanding of human capabilities and limitations - both physical and psychological - would help reduce human error and improve flight safety. This book was first published when the UK Civil Aviation Authority introduced an examination in human performance and limitations for all private and professional pilot licences. Now the Joint Aviation Authorities of Europe have published a new syllabus as part of their Joint Aviation Requirements for Flight Crew Licensing. The book has been completely revised and rewritten to take account of the new syllabus. The coverage of basic aviation psychology has been greatly expanded, and the section on aviation physiology now includes topics on the high altitude environment and on health maintenance. Throughout, the text avoids excessive jargon and technical language. |

They
Called It Pilot Error: True Stories Behind General Aviation Accidents Cohn's examination of 26 aviation accidents includes commentary from as many points of view as possible, including those of pilots, passengers, witnesses, FAA investigators, airport representatives, and others in official and unofficial capacities. Cohn's intent is to improve product and personal safety through education. By careful scrutiny of how accidents happen and how they are reported, he hopes to improve training, construction, and regulations. Essential reading for the private pilot; interesting for anyone who has ever flown or plans to. |

The
Naked Pilot: The Human Factor in Aircraft Accidents You've gotta love this title. It's right up there with 'Set phasers on stun' (Another human factors gem). In one of the worst aviation disasters ever,
a DC-8 with a fire on board was able to land safely back at the airport;
however, no exit was opened for twenty-three minutes and 301 people inside
died. Why? Investigations into the causes of airplane accidents have for
decades focused on what happened and who did it--very rarely on why. It's
the question "why" that Beaty addresses here. Focusing on large commercial-aircraft
accidents, he looks at human error precipitated by individuals as well
as management and government. No other book on the subject speaks with
such clarity to both the expert and the layman. |

Aviation
Psychology in Practice
A volume that extends the boundaries of aviation psychology in two interrelated ways: by broadening the focus of aviation psychology beyond the flight deck to the whole aviation system, and by discussing new theoretical developments which are shaping this applied discipline. A key feature of these theoretical advances is that they are grounded in a more developed, ecologically valid understanding of practice. Following an introductory chapter, the volume is divided into four sections: the aviation socio-technical system; learning from accidents and incidents; new theoretical models; and the delivery of training.

Flight
Discipline From the Back Cover "A skilled pilot without flight discipline is a walking time bomb." In case history after case history, Lt. Col. Tony Kern shows the hair-raising and often fatal consequences of sloppy flight discipline-and shows you how to make sure that you don't fall into the same traps. Flight Discipline is the perfect tool to help aviators understand flight discipline, improve their skills, and be safer and more effective flyers. It can be used by the individual pilot or in a classroom setting. Key words and concepts are italicized throughout. Chapter review questions test your understanding and summarize the main points of the chapters. Case studies illustrate the tragic consequences of sloppy discipline. The book is divided into three logical sections, each packed with essential information about the hows and whys of flight discipline: Part One: The problem and costs of poor flight discipline in aviation: what can go wrong, and why; Part Two: The anatomy of flight dicsipline: instruction, planning, communication, and attention management; Part Three: How to insure flight discipline: instruction, planning, communication, and attention management. Conclusion: A personal plan for safer flying. Clear check-points for individual accountability and improvement. Whether flight planning, completing checklists, managing in-flight change, or resisting organizational or peer pressures to cut corners, flight discipline is the all-important mainspring of safe and successful flight. |

Darker
Shades of Blue: The Rogue Pilot From the Back Cover: Rogue pilots are a silent menace, undermining aviation and threatening lives and property every day. But never--until now--have they been exposed for the danger that they are. Rogues are a unique brand of undisciplined pilots who place their own egos above all else--endangering themselves, other pilots and their passengers, and everyone over whom they fly. They are found in the cockpits of major airliners, military jets, and in general aviation. Worst of all, they sometimes appear among normally disciplined pilots, many of whom are just one poor decision or temptation away from fiery disaster. Learn how to recognize the rogue in action, how to weigh the options and costs of dealing with one, and what your organization's role should be. Kern gives you a unique toolkit for diagnosing and solving the rogue menace, including: a clear definition and description of the rogue aviator: personality, habits, and actions. Case studies of individual and organizational culprits; how to spot and cope with the rogue; personal risk analysis to use in self-diagnosis; how to create safeguards against rogue behavior. Safety, profit margins, personal advancement, and organizational survival all depend on dealing successfully with rogue behavior, and Darker Shades of Blue: The Rogue Pilot is the first--and only--guide that shows you how. |

Fit
to Fly The Author: Fit to Fly - Cognitive Training for Pilots - asks pilots to work hard to ensure their abilities are as good as they can be. Their passengers expect it - as do their families. It is an invitation to 'do the right thing'. The exercises, by the way, need no fancy technology. They are basically free, and can be done in 'down time' so as not to impose any fiscal burden on the employer. In the end, it is about individual self-regulation. Taking control of one's life and developing both the mental toughness needed to handle tight situations aloft, and the equally vital ability to maintain crew co-ordination and working group relationships while under extreme pressure. Cognitive fitness does that. It can be achieved through dedicated exercise. This book shows how. For sure it's provocative and controversial. But I'm told by people who have no reason to be nice to me that it is also a very good read. |

Dragonfly:
NASA And The Crisis Aboard Mir Bryan Burrough, coauthor of the bestselling Barbarians at the Gate, has a talent for reworking factual accounts so they read like first-rate thrillers. Dragonfly: NASA and the Crisis Aboard Mir is overwhelming in its scope and breadth of detail, culled from one-on-one interviews and transcripts of recorded conversations between the astronauts and cosmonauts on Mir and Russian Mission Control. Burrough delves deeply into the personal and professional lives of the 11 people who lived aboard Mir from 1995 to 1998. What we soon discover is simultaneously disheartening and fascinating: the men and women who would be astronauts must run a gauntlet of hazings, are judged professionally on their personal lives, and win flight assignments through serendipity as often as through hard work. NASA is controlled by cliques and cults of personality: "People don't speak out, because George makes short work of you if you do.... If you get on his bad side, you won't get a flight assignment...." There are "issues dealing with training and the selection of crews that you don't dare speak up about." The down-to-the-last-bolt descriptions of life aboard the station, from what the air smells like to an explanation of "penguin suits" to the distance between the dinner table and the original, now seldom-used toilet--2 feet--will thrill space enthusiasts. Space may not be "where no man has gone before" anymore, but it nevertheless provides endless dream fodder for those of us left behind on Earth. --Jhana Bach |

Aviation
Safety and Pilot Control: Understanding and Preventing Unfavorable Pilot-Vehicle
Interactions From The Publisher: Adverse aircraft-pilot coupling (APC) events include a broad set of undesirable and sometimes hazardous phenomena that originate in anomalous interactions between pilots and aircraft. As civil and military aircraft technologies advance, interactions between pilots and aircraft are becoming more complex. Recent accidents and other incidents have been attributed to adverse APC in military aircraft. In addition, APC has been implicated in some civilian incidents. This book evaluates the current state of knowledge about adverse APC and processes that may be used to eliminate it from military and commercial aircraft. It was written for technical, government, and administrative decisionmakers and their technical and administrative support staffs; key technical managers in the aircraft manufacturing and operational industries; stability and control engineers; aircraft flight control system designers; research specialists in flight control, flying qualities, and human factors; and technically knowledgeable lay readers. |
