Title:
Human Factors Applying Lessons from the Unites States Air Force to General Aviation
Topic:
Human Factors: Applying Lessons from the Unites States Air Force to General Aviation
Date and Time:
Thursday, April 4, 2019, starting at 19:00 Eastern Daylight Time Download Calendar File
Speaker(s):
Lieutenant Colonel Kris A. Ostrowski
Brief Description:

Human error is a leading factor within both general aviation and United States Air Force (USAF) mishaps.  Learn how the USAF leverages aerospace and operational physiology medical professionals to combat human-related error throughout its fleet of diverse aircraft, within the extreme environments of high-gravitational force and reduced oxygen, and by mishap investigation.  You’ll also learn about the Department of Defense’s sole $34.4M human-rated centrifuge, the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine’s suite of research and training hypobaric chambers, and the USAF’s utilization of the Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device, all housed within Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH.  Whether you’re flying basic or complex aircraft, we’ll apply our learned knowledge to the general aviation environment with the intent of improved pilot knowledge to ultimately reinforce an enhanced safety mindset and culture that will last your flying career.
