AERONAUTICAL DECISION MAKING: METAPHORS, MODELS, AND METHODS. IN: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF AVIATION PSYCHOLOGY
Decision making is perhaps the most central single topic to the question of effective human performance in aviation. Even though various automated aids have taken over many of the tasks that used to be required of the aviator, the final step of eliminating the pilot as well has not been taken. The analysis of NTSB data showing the preponderance of decision making errors in fatal general aviation accidents has ignited a considerable body of interest in the topic of decision making and in seeking ways of improving decision making in pilot training. The field of aeronautical decision making is likely to become increasingly central to future research on human performance in the technologically driven field of aviation.
