Abstract
Aircraft is the safest means of transport but an error or a misbehave could lead to a catastrophe. Statistical data show a decrease in accidents due to technical factors and an increase caused by human factors noticeable in 70% of accident cases. Consequently, the sector of investigation had to adapt to this change by using better-performing models. Human factors in aviation are involved in the study of human’s capabilities, limitations, and behaviors, as well as the integration of that knowledge into the systems that we design for them to enhance safety, performance, and general well-being of the operators of the systems.
The following thesis focuses its attention on the human factors study and on the development of a model that is best suited to the analysis of specific accidents
