Over 80% of the accidents in General Aviation are caused by pilot error. It is the actions, reactions, and decisions of pilots that cause most accidents - not the catastrophic failures of aircraft or ATC systems.
All over the world, pilots learn to fly by studying the airplane and its systems, the weather and its effects, and the rules and regulations governing flight. Seldom do they study the central and most critical component of any flight, namely human beings in the cockpit. Seldom are they provided the tools to help themn avoid making the common mistakes that cause accidents. Recently ICAO has recommended that training organizations provide such tools through an increased emphasis on human factors.
The intended readership of this book includes flight instructors, and student pilots of all levels.
