HUMAN PERFORMANCE ATPL - BMEGT52S801

The human physiology and psychology from the perspective of aeronautics is extracted during this class. Stu-dents expected to be familiar with the basic principles of the human respiratory system, heart and blood, the side effects of rapid decompression or working in low pressure environment. Regards psychology students learn how to cooperate with their flight instructor and how the cognitive system works. In order to carry out duties on board of a pressurized aircraft at high altitudes, basic understanding of human physiology and psychology shall be introduced. From the physiological perspective circulatory system, oxygen and respiration, nervous system, ear, hearing and balance, eye and vision are extracted. Special effects of rapid decompression on the cognition system as well as the respiratory system are also inevitable. The psychological part of this class gives insight on various factors effecting cockpit synergy such as information processing, human error and learning process, be-haviors and motivation, cognition in aviation, sleep and fatigue, man and machine, decision making and risk. Introduction to crew resources management is also begin extracted as a preparation for a multipilot environment.

2. They have comprehensive knowledge of the psychological effects of aviation on the human body.
3. They have comprehensive knowledge of how human information is processed.
4. They have comprehensive knowledge of crew resources management and about the preparation for a multi-pilot environment.

1. They are able to recognize when unexpected physiological phenomena (eg. hypoxia) in flight affect the pilot's or passengers' body.
2. They are able to recognize when unexpected psychological phenomena (eg. hyperventilation) in flight af-fect the pilot's or passengers' body.
3. They are able to make the right decision and take action when the above phenomena occur.

1. They are characterized by sensitivity to human needs. They are characterized by a user-centric thinking and approach.

1. To solve various professional problems, they Awareness of various human performance and external fac-tors affecting the human body in flight.
2. They are open to independently monitor technical, technological and human developments in his / her field.
3. In order ensure the safety of flight, it mobilizes its theoretical and practical knowledge and skills in an autonomous manner, if necessary in cooperation with the other members of the fly deck.
