Abstract
Traditionally, aviation psychologists have focused on understanding the underlying nature and causes of pilot error in order to improve flight safety. There are at least four perspectives or approaches for addressing human error within the context of aviation. These approaches are cognitive, ergonomics, psychosocial, and organizational. Additionally, several different strategies for reducing both the occurrence and consequences of human error have evolved from these different perspectives. These strategies include training, cockpit design, crew pairing, and personnel selection. Each psychological approach to human error in aviation is briefly discussed, along with related intervention strategies.
