Human Performance for the EASA CB-IR and BIR

HUMAN PERFORMANCE

As aircraft became more reliable and less prone to mechanical failure, the percentage of accidents related to human factors increased. Some aspect of human factors now accounts for over 80 percent of all accidents.

Flying IMC can result in sensations that are misleading to the body’s sensory system. A safe pilot needs to understand these sensations and effectively counteract them.

Pilots who have a good understanding of human factors are better equipped to plan and execute a safe and uneventful flight.

This book covers in full the EASA learning objectives for the Human Performance subject for CB-IR. It will be updated as often as necessary, as well as improved based on the readers feedback.
