Abstract
Systems theory is presented as a complement to the more traditional scientific approaches in aviation science. Tenets of systems theory are contrasted with traditional approaches that employ reductionism. A complementary method of inquiry using groups or organizations as the unit of analysis is systems theory, a framework long fundamental to human factors but treated with curious ambivalence by practitioners (Meister, 1989). This integrative perspective has matured to a point that warrants serious consideration. Four variations in systems theory are compared, and the applications of each are made to aviation science. The limitations of systems theories are presented, as well as current and potential applications of systems theory to aviation science.
