Abstract
Ever since the beginning of aviation, human has caused errors which resulted in crucial
catastrophic accidents. Most of the time, aircraft design and functionality contributed to these
accidents. Whenever a new aircraft is introduced to the aviation industry, the operational manuals
are altered thus requires training, this generates a lot of workload for the pilots (Lee, 2010).
Moreover, human factors have contributed to about 80% of the accidents and post-investigations
research revealed that most of the accidents were caused due to “pilot error”. Multiple theories
help in understanding the human factors more clearly and also the factors that affect the pilot’s
capabilities. This project comprises all the attributes that contribute to the careless attitudes of the
pilot’s and also highlighting the major accidents that occurred due to these hindrances.
