Team-Based Human Factors Challenges

During this module, you have been provided with several resources detailing human factors and the role of human error in aviation accidents. For this activity, you will synthesize that information and apply that information to a team-based activity that occurs in the aviation industry.

In your blog, you will provide a working definition of human factors in aviation, with justification and supporting references. Next, you will apply your definition to identify and describe challenges associated with a team-based activity that occurs in aviation. You may choose any activity that you wish (e.g. crew resource management, aircraft servicing, fleet servicing). The goal is to engage in a collaborative and constructive debate that promotes critical thought and reflection. 

Your initial posts and responses to your classmates need to be thoughtful, thorough, and comprehensive. This means your initial post needs to be about a paragraph and thoroughly explain your answer. Additionally, include a properly formatted in-text citation and reference to support your position. After you create your blog, you will be expected to engage in dialogue with at least one of your classmates. Your responses to your classmates’ blog entries need to be more than “I agree/disagree.” You need to elaborate and explain why you agree or disagree, and you may even want to ask additional questions.
