External Trainers


                          Human factors training may be provided by either a trainer employed by the
organisation or by trainer(s) outside the organisation, although training is likely to be most effective if it is tailored to the specific needs and problems of one’s own organisation and the instructor is someone familiar with the needs and problems of that organisation. In cases where organisations cannot provide their own in-house training, it is acceptable to contract out as long as the main trainer has a good background in aviation maintenance, and meet the criteria mentioned earlier. It is not enough simply to present a set of slides on the syllabus topics without having adequate knowledge to illustrate points using practical examples, or to answer questions. 
                         The quality of the trainer is key to the success of human factors training, remembering that Part-145.A.30(e) human factors training is more about changing attitudes and less about imparting knowledge.
                         Organisations should be wary of inappropriate adaptations of Crew Resource Management (CRM) training being offered as a means to comply with the Part- 145.A.30(e) human factors training requirement. Whilst some of the principles may be common to flight operations and maintenance, such courses would need to be specifically tailored to maintenance in order to be applicable. If the course is to be delivered by a CRM instructor (CRMI), it is strongly recommended that this instructor team up with a maintenance engineer so that the latter can assist where practical examples are required to illustrate points.

Human Factor Introduction

Human Factor -  A  Person working in a maintenance environment requires human factor knowledge as per his job requirement. Human Factor Training  - Aviation safety relies on maintenance. When it is not done correctly , it may cause an incident or an accident.  Mistakes of maintenance personnel is difficult to detect. They are subjected to work in changing working in variety of adverse conditon. Regulatory Requirement : CAR 66 Module 09 Human factor - for get AMEL Human Factor   - Study of human capabilities and limitations in the workplace.   It is about study of the interaction  of maintenance personnel, the equipment used, the written and verbal procedures and  rules followed by them, and the environmental conditions of any system.  Aim of human  factors is to optimise the relationship between maintenance personnel and systems to improve  safety, efficiency, and well-being.

SHEL(L) Model

Model are used to understand human factor  as a framework around which human factor issues can be structured. SHEL(L),PEAR, Dirty Dozen  S - Software H - Hardware L - Liveware E - Environment                                         Liveware  is at the center of the model, is   the most critical and flexible component in the working  Environment and subject to considerable variations in performance and suffer many limitations.                           Physical size and shape.  In the design of workplace and equipment, body measurements and movements is considerd , which may vary according to factors such as age, ethnicity and gender. Human Factors inputs is provided  in the design process, and data for these inputs are available from anthropometry, biomechanics and k...

Information Processing Limitation

Human information processing  have limitations.   AMT requires support such as reference  to written material (e.g. manuals). Attention and Perception -  A proportion of ‘sensed’ data may be lost without being                              ‘perceived’.   Failing to  perceive  something  which   someone  has said to you, when you are concentrating on something else, even  though the words would have been received at the ear without any problem.  Information processing system has  ability  to perceive   something (such as a picture,                       sentence, concept, etc.) even though some of the data  may be missing.  Danger - people can fill in the gaps with  information from their own store of knowledge or experience, and this may lead to  t...
