THE HUMAN DIMENSION IN TOMORROW’S AVIATION SYSTEM
The Human Dimension in Tomorrow’s Safe Aviation System
The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is committed to understanding and improving human factors issues for people within the aviation system. Our ambition begins with those we directly regulate and stretches to support the improvement of aviation standards across the globe. This white paper seeks to elevate aviation safety standards by pushing the boundaries of our thinking about how human factors contribute to the complex aviation system of systems.
Encouraging better, earlier and more consistent consideration of human factors in all facets of aviation extends beyond the traditional ‘train the individual’ approach. To realise further advances in safety as aviation continues to evolve, we need innovative approaches and thinking; the tools in current use may not suffice. The thought leadership articles in this paper encourage the industry to move towards a more robust systems thinking approach. This requires us all to embed early consideration of how to support people to work at their best.
This starts with how we inspire and train people to think about humans, the factors that affect them and how the operational context influences their performance. It needs to become more about understanding how to integrate the human within the system, so that the performance of the human and system is optimised based on their combined strengths. The paper concludes with a roadmap of possibilities, and we look forward to working alongside the aviation industry as we begin this journey together.
