ABSTRACT
Problems concerning human factor’s role in the air traffic safety are the point of interest of scientists of different domains. The paper (Afrazeh & Bartsch 2007) presents human reliability as the human ability to perform the task in given frames, covering all the physical and psychological skills, experience and personal characteristics. The other one (Dekker 2006) states that the whole human performance of people taking part in aviation transportation process is located in a specific context that consists of the aircraft and its equipment type, weather, air traffic and other Performance Shaping Factors-PSF. They were incorporated in (Swain & Guttman 1983) as the set of factors affecting human capabilities. They are divided to internal ones-like stress, fatigue, knowledge, personality, experience, and external ones-such as ergonomics, educational programs, organizational structure, motivation and procedures (Pei-Hui 2011).
