Review the Aviation Human Factors Case Analysis Guidelines
FORMAT:
Double-spaced lines
– Times New Roman 12 pitch
Process
I. Review materials from outside sources regarding the case
II. Diagnose the case (identify the issue/problem, define the significance of the issue/problem)
III. “Size-up” the case (determine the influence of the issue/problem, decide what was done well, and identify
what could be improved)
IV. Provide recommendations (identify courses of action; what would you do differently?)
Develop a case analysis on this topic: Select a commercial aviation accident that was concluded to have
resulted from pilot error. Determine the primary and any secondary human factors contributions to the accident.
Consider pilot training, organizational culture, organizational rules/policies, ergonomics, aircraft design limitations,
etc., when identifying an issue for your case analysis. As always, draw upon previous module knowledge to help
you conduct your analysis.
