A Human Error Approach to Aviation Accident Analysis: The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System
Human error is implicated in nearly all aviation accidents, yet most investigation and prevention programs are not designed around any theoretical framework of human error.\ Appropriate for all levels of expertise, the book provides the knowledge and tools required to conduct a human error analysis of accidents, regardless of operational setting (i.e. military, commercial, or general aviation). The book contains a complete description of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System...

Wiegmann (psychology and aviation, U. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) and Shappell (of the Human Factors Research Branch of the Federal Aviation Administration's Civil Aeromedical Institute) present a model for investigating and analyzing human error in aviation. Called the "Human Factors Analysis and Classification System," it is based on James Reason's "Swiss cheese" model of accident causation (1990) and was developed for use by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.
