Topic: - Diffusion of Responsibility
Diffusion of responsibility or bystander effect is a phenomenon where the more people who are present, the less responsibility any individual takes for a decision or action. It is normally observed in 2 ways. Firstly someone may witness an incident and fail to take any action as they assume that another witness will do so. They may fear losing face in front of the other witnesses, being superseded by a superior helper, offering unwanted assistance or believing the event is 'not real' or a prank. They may feel obedience to authority and assume that others may be more qualified to help and their intervention would be unneeded

Distraction Management
Topic: - Distraction Management
Distraction is an important aspect of human factors, having contributed to many accidents and/or incidents in the history of aviation. It can be defined as a condition generated in the operating environment that affects or complicates the performance of a task or a crews compliance with applicable standards

Pilot: Drug Issues
Topic: - Designing a Pilot Study Protocol to Test Drug Issues
Substance abuse continues to be a challenging problem to society. While many drug and alcohol recovery programmes exist, some work better than others.

Introducing NLA Costs
Topic: - How Will New Large Aircraft Affect Airport Facilities
Aircraft characteristics have an important role on airport planning. Both the airport airside andlandside planning are based on operating characteristics of the aircraft which will be operated at the airport. On the airside, the representative aircraft will determine the runway length andwidth, the minimum separation between runways and taxiways, the geometric project of taxi-ways, andthepavementstrength.Additionally,environmentalissuessuchasnoiseandairpollutionarealsobasedontheaircraftwhichwillmakeuseoftheairport.Ontheterminalarea, aircraft characteristics will influence the number and size of gates, and consequently theterminal configuration. Finally, the aircraft passenger capacity will influence the size of facilities within the terminal – such as passenger lounges and passenger processing systems –, andthe size and type of the baggage handling system

Aircraft Noise Effects On Pilots
Topic: - The effect of interior aircraft noise on pilot performance
Human performance at work is central in many organizations. The quality of task performance has a major significance not only for productivity, but also for outcomes such as reliability and safety. Human error, as a field of study, is concerned with why people make mistakes or forget to do critical parts of their job.

Alcohol Effect on Body
Topic: - Alcohol and Human Performancefrom an Aviation Perspective
Alcohol is a widely used drug, and its abuse is a serious public health problem. Alcohol hasmany widespread effects on the body, and impairs almost all forms of cognitive function,suchas information processing, decision-making, attention and reasoning. Visual and vestibular functions are also adversely affected. The performance of any demanding task,suchasflyingan aircraft, isthusimpairedbytheeffects of alcohol. Many studies have shown a significant proportion of aircraft accidents associated with alcohol use. Alcohol increases the risk of spatial disorientation, hypoxia and poor +Gz tolerance.

Short-Haul Commercial Operations Fatigue Effects
Topic: - Pilot fatigue in short-haul operations: Effects of number of sectors, duty length, and time of day
The most important influences on fatigue were the number of sectors and duty length. These were associated with fatigue in a linear fashion. Time of day had a weaker influence, with lower levels at midday and increased fatigue later in the day. Fatigue was also higher during duties originating from an airport where pilots needed to position the night before and spend the night in a hotel.

Pilot’s Flight Experience
Topic: - Professional Pilot Studies
Given the vigorous competition among pilot applicants for entry-level professional flying positions, it is imperative that students enrolled in post-secondary flight education programs receive comprehensive instruction in relevant career topics. Rapid, dramatic industry advances in cockpit displays, long-range navigation systems, and crew resource management issues necessitate timely professional pilot curricula.

Egotism And Ego
Topic: - Egotism and Ego
Ego' derives from Latin and means 'I' but can also be understood to mean 'self'. The ego is what makes us who we are and what makes us different from everyone else. Our ego is not a fixed and can evolve as we get older and be altering by conscious choice. Our ego today is quite different from what it once was as a child. From birth our ego is rather concerned with the ourselves as we have little knowledge or insight. Food, care and attention are the most important issues in our lives. If we were to maintain this kind of ego through to adulthood then conducting operations as a pilot and as part of a crew would clearly not go smoothly

Emergency Landings
Topic: - An Emergency Landing Planner for Damaged Aircraft
Considerable progress has been made over the last 15 yearson building adaptive control systems to assist pilots in flying damaged aircraft. Once a pilot has regained control of a dam-aged aircraft, the next problem is to determine the best sitefor an emergency landing

World’s Most Secure Airlines
Topic: - Why Struggling Airlines Spend More on Safety
Every airline worth its salt claims to value passenger safety over and above all else. But, realistically, airlines must balance the often-conflicting imperatives of safety and profitability. Inevitably, moments will arise where executives ask not, “How safe can we possibly be?” but “How safe must we be?” or “How safe can we afford to be?” These tough, troubling questions are an inescapable fact of doing business in an industry centredon potentially hazardous technology

Emotional Labor
Topic: - Flight Attendants’ Emotional Labor and Exhaustion in the Airline Industry
Flight attendants constitute the majority of customer- service employees in the airline industry. Compared to their colleagues in other departments, flight attendants have more contact with passengers, and for longer periods of time. Within the airline industry, flight attendants are referred to as the first-line service attendants

Official Aviation Language
Topic: - Language in aviation: The relevance of linguistics and relevance theory
English and a semi-artificial sublanguage based on English play the dominant role as the means of communication in aviation, especially in the communication between pilots and air traffic controllers and in international contexts.

Global Warming Impact On Aviation
Topic: - The Impact of Climate Change on Aviation
The main expected impacts of climate change on aviation result from changes in temperature, precipitation (rain and snow), storm patterns, sea level and wind patterns. In addition, climate change is expected to lead to increased drought, impacts on the supply of water and energy, and changes in wildlife patterns and biodiversity. Consequences for aviation include reduced aircraft performance, changing demand patterns, potential damage to infrastructure, loss of capacity and schedule disruption
