title: The Aviation Psychology Program at RAF Upper Heyford.
abstract: An Aviation Psychology Program was started in September, 1985 at RAF Upper Heyford, with the focus on teaching flight commanders and their wives to recognize and deal with aircrew member and family stress. The overall goal is to prevent aircraft accidents and mishaps caused by human factor errors. Case reports are presented which demonstrate the value of the aviation psychologist becoming integrated in the flying community. The program has been successful, but needs further commitment and support.
