In this course students wishing to enter the aviation industry in a managerial or supervisory capacity will acquire an in-depth knowledge of human behaviour and performance limitations and the ensuing risks to safety caused by such breakdowns. They will learn to understand the systemic processes in place to mitigate for human performance failures within an aviation system, and to understand the sources of data which drive risk mitigation strategies appropriate for a high risk industry. A range of non-technical skills will be examined as part of the course.
