vFOREWORDThe safety of civil aviation is the major objective of theInternational Civil Aviation Organization ICAO. Consider-able progress has been made in increasing safety, butadditional improvements are needed and can be achieved. Ithas long been known that the majority of aviation accidentsand incidents result from less than optimum human per-formance, indicating that any advance in this field can beexpected to have a significant impact on the improvementof aviation safety.This was recognized by the ICAO Assembly, which in 1986adopted Resolution A26-9 on Flight Safety and HumanFactors. As a follow-up to the Assembly Resolution, the AirNavigation Commission formulated the following objectivefor the taskTo improve safety in aviation by making States more awareand responsive to the importance of Human Factors in civilaviation operations through the provision of practicalHuman Factors materials and measures, developed on thebasis of experience in States, and by developing andrecommending appropriate amendments to existing materialin Annexes and other documents with regard to the role ofHuman Factors in the present and future operationalenvironments. Special emphasis will be directed to theHuman Factors issues that may influence the design,transition and in-service use of the future ICAO CNS/ATMsystems.One of the methods chosen to implement AssemblyResolution A26-9 is the publication of guidance materials,including manuals and a series of digests, that addressvarious aspects of Human Factors and its impact on aviationsafety. These documents are intended primarily for use byStates to increase the awareness of their personnel of theinfluence of human performance on safety.The target audience of Human Factors manuals and digestsare the managers of both civil aviation administrations andthe airline industry, including airline safety, training andoperational managers. The target audience also includesregulatory bodies, safety and investigation agencies andtraining establishments, as well as senior and middle non-operational airline management.This manual is an introduction to the latest informationavailable to the international civil aviation community on thecontrol of human error and the development of counter-measures to error in operational environments. Its targetaudience includes senior safety, training and operationalpersonnel in industry and regulatory bodies.This manual is intended as a living document and will bekept up to date by periodic amendments. Subsequenteditions will be published as new research results inincreased knowledge on Human Factors strategies and moreexperience is gained regarding the control and managementof human error in operational environments.
