Description of the aims, objectives and range of topics areas for the special issue
Ergonomics and Human Factors (E/HF) in Aviation is essential for the safety and efficiency of commercial airlines, passenger, cargo and military operations, and for the well-being of their passengers. However, it also extends beyond the aircraft to air traffic control and management, maintenance, regulatory bodies and policy-makers. E/HF has a long history of innovations in theory, methodology, science and application. For example, approaches have evolved from the examination of the activities of individual pilots, through to crew resource management and to consider entire aviation systems and their emergent properties. Similarly, ergonomics methodologies have moved from focusing on individual tasks to entire systems, the constraints shaping behaviour and the culture of organisations. The aim of this special issue is to provide researchers and practitioners with an opportunity to present and discuss contemporary, forecasted and required paradigm shifts to E/HF in Aviation. We welcome submissions from all disciplines, from all countries.
