Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to define and measure the performance of pilots, and review how to manage human errors through recent domestic accidents. Background: It is not easy to measure the performance of pilots. The understanding of the pilot's performance and the efforts for maximization it are key to aviation safety activities. Reviewing the current ergonomics and human factors textbooks in terms of performance, most textbooks describe performance in terms of work physiology, cognitive psychology, and biomechanics. Those information are not sufficient to comprehend the performance of pilot. Method& Results: In this paper, we discuss in the management program and pilot performance technologies in terms of aviation safety, as applied by the international aviation organization and the domestic aviation organization focused on literature research and case study in the latest international standards The main purpose of discussion is to define pilot's performance in view of subjective evaluation of technical skills, objective evaluation of technical skills, and evaluation of nontechnical skills. We analyzed the standard aviation safety program such as LOSA, FOQA and CRM/TEM in terms of pilot's performance on subjective evaluation of technical skills, objective Evaluation of technical skills, and evaluation of nontechnical skills. Conclusion: Although safety improvements in the aviation sector have brought significant safety improvements, it is important for aviation safety to define, measure, and manage the performance of pilots more closely. Application: This paper reviewed on the safety activities for the prevention of aviation accidents can be extended and applied for other industries regarding efficient safety management.
