Human factors focus on optimizing the relationship between people, technology, and the operating environment to enhance safety and performance in aviation.
Fatigue and stress can impair a remote pilot's judgment, decision-making, and reaction times, increasing the risk of accidents.
Proper rest and sleep are essential to combat fatigue and maintain high levels of alertness and performance during flight operations.
Situational awareness involves being aware of the surrounding environment, potential hazards, and changes that may affect flight safety, allowing remote pilots to make informed decisions.
Effective communication is crucial for sharing critical information, coordinating actions, and reducing misunderstandings, which helps in managing human factors and enhancing operational safety.
