title: Complexities of human factors in aviation.
abstract: Statistics continue to show an increased incidence of serious aircraft accidents where the cause has been attributed to "human factors", although the factors themselves have not always been specifically determined. This paper is an attempt to outline some of the stress factors which may cause a pilot to react improperly in a given situation and thus set in motion a train of events potentially leading to an accident.
