Controlled Flight Into Terrain: The Utility of Models of Information Processing and Human Error in Aviation Safety

Naval Aerospace Medical Institute

Research output: Contribution to conference › Presentation

Abstract

Controlled flight into terrain continues to plague naval aviation. A fresh approach embedded in traditional theories of information processing or human error may yield unique prevention alternatives. We conducted a comprehensive review of those U.S. Navy/Marine Corps Class A aviation mishaps categorized as controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) by the U.S. Naval Safety Center between January 1983 and March 1993.
