Distraction – A Critical Human Factor in Aviation Maintenance

$19.95

When we are working on any task, our mind has a natural tendency to think ahead. This is normal and not a bad trait until we are distracted. If the distraction is sufficiently long and/or strong enough, we will come back to the task thinking we are farther along than we actually are.

If there are no visual clues as to the actual point of completion and we don’t have any precautions (Safety nets) to counteract the distraction, then there is a very good chance that an error will occur.

We will review a common factor that affects our work performance in aviation maintenance.
