ASA The Pilot's Burden: Flight Safety and the Roots of Pilot Error

The fact that reducing demands on the human will reduce chances for human error in the cockpit has not been addressed with the intensity and honesty it deserves - until now!

Safe flying largely depends on the pilot's knowledge and skill. Training and procedures only tell the pilot how, where and when. It is still necessary to maintain a certain awareness, to keep everything under control. This is the pilot's task and responsibility no matter what computers are on board. The pilot must keep a suspicious eye on their activity as computers cannot do the total job and occasionally they do make mistakes.

Pilot's Burden presents common sense solutions for any pilot interested in safety and human factors. Softcover, illustrated, 6" x 9", 240 pages.
