Introduction

Ergonomics

It is the branch of science that studies the human body movement while working, energy expenditure and performance of fundamental labor rights. Scope of ergonomics is quite wide: it covers the organization of workplaces, both production and domestic and industrial design. It is the scientific and applied discipline that studies and establishment of effective systems managed by man. Ergonomics studies the movement of people in the production process, the cost of its energy efficiency and intensity for certain jobs (Wilson, 2005). The basis of ergonomics served various disciplines from anatomy to psychology, but its main task is to create conditions of work for the man who would promote health, improve work efficiency, reduce fatigue, and just keeping a generous mood during the day.

Discussion

Human factors, as the largest causal factor of accidents, must be targeted for vital safety efforts if an improved safety record is to be achieved. The introduction of the concept of "human factor" and disclosure of its contents, along with the existing concept of "personal factor" was primarily due to the successes achieved in the engineering and social psychology, in research of the interaction operator with the technical equipment, environment and other professionals work together. If, we assume that man was not created or genetically or psychologically to fly, but that curiosity and creativity that characterizes him to transcend to a three-dimensional space for which it was conceived. The human being constitutes "the most flexible, adaptable and valuable of the aviation system, but also the most vulnerable influences that may adversely affect their behavior.

Aviation is expanding, and this expansion is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. More people want to fly, and aircraft types are increasing in number. Technical innovations and automation introduce changes in the control of aircraft as vehicles and as traffic, and in the numerous human roles and jobs in the air, and on the ground that support aviatrix. The domain of human factors as a discipline is also expanding. It now embraces more topics and applications than it formerly did, and employs a greater variety of techniques (Wrolstad, 2002). Aviation human factors are thus, expanding in two distinct ways: the range of applications of human factors within aviation has increased, and so the titles of the chapters in this text cover more applications than aforementioned texts did, but the range of topics within each chapter has also increased, because the boundaries of human factors as a discipline have been extended to encompass additional themes and approaches.

The rapid and sometimes revolutionary developments in technology, aviation, human factors, and the complex Inter disciplinary Interactions between them, lead to a requirement to review and appraise progress from time to time by taking stock by peering into the future. Authors were urged to consider what is known now, and encouraged to develop a point of view. Disagreements between them have not been edited out, but indicate where there is room for authoritative views to differ, because knowledge is ...
