Overview"Although several US and European airlines have started providing human factors training for their maintenance personnel, the academic community (some 300 academic programmes in the United States and several others in Europe and Asia) has not yet started offering formal human factors education to maintenance students. The authors of this work strongly believe in incorporating the human factors principles in aviation maintenance. This is the first of two volumes that provide effective behavioural guidance on risk management in aviation maintenance for both the novice and the experienced maintenance personnel. Its practical guidelines assist both student and practising aviation maintenance personnel to develop sustainable safety culture. For the maintenance community it provides some theoretical discussion about the ""why?"" for risk management and then focuses on the ""how?"" to implement a successful error reduction programme. The book is intended to serve as a practical guide as well as an academic textbook. It covers fundamental human factors principles from a risk management perspective and due consideration is given to cultural diversity, return on investment analysis and safety culture development."

It covers all the bases and then some. No one is better informed to write such a book than James Taylor. The contents are nicely balanced between scary facts, case studies and academic meat...the quality of the content is first-rate.' Professor James Reason, University of Manchester, UK '...a comprehensive and instructional book that will be an aviation benchmark for human factors and risk management for future decades. It transcends theoretical philosophy with Patankar and Taylor's hands-on approach, offering straightforward how-to's that produce results...essential reading for all students, practitioners, and subject matter experts in the field who wish to make a difference.' David M. Driscoll, Senior Aviation Consultant, US Airways (Retired) '...serves as a practical guide as well as an academic textbook...provides awareness to those with little or no knowledge of maintenance human factors ...and a set of practical tools for the more experienced so they can be more effective in risk management and error recovery.' Aviation News, USA 2004 This book contains a good mix of principles, case studies and accident reports to guide the reader through the concepts offered as solutions for managing risk in aviation maintenance. 'The book is aimed at students and practitioners, though readers familiar with Crew Resource Management and Human Error Models will find it meaningful.' Dino Piccione, Federal Aviation Administration, Washington D.C. 'This book not only provides a much needed and concise summary of this past material, but also looks more widely at the management of risk and suggests new strategies for reducing errors in the future. ...' 'This is an impressive book which achieves much in only 200 pages and there are no immediately obvious improvements.' The Aerospace Professional November 2004 'The authors are to be commended on making a very useful contribution to the ongoing study of HF (human factors) in aircraft maintenance. The book comprises a good mix of theory and practical information plus examples, and is a useful text for those in maintenance HF training and research.' Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2007 '...this is an excellent and very solid book. It covers all the bases and then some. No one is better informed to write such a book than James Taylor.
