II - Aircraft Troubleshooting - Human Factors in Emergencies

Module 2: III- Human Factors in Emergencies Emergencies are not just technical — they are psychological. This module dives into the human factors that influence pilot performance under stress. We examine the startle effect, tunnel vision, situational awareness loss, workload saturation, and how error chains develop. Learn how Threat & Error Management (TEM) prevents minor issues from escalating into accidents. We also compare checklist discipline versus memory items and discuss when each is appropriate. Mastering human performance is essential for safe decision-making in high-pressure situations.
