Keywords:
Flight safety, human factor, aviation, crew, CRM, safety culture, human error.Abstract
This article analyzes the human factors affecting flight safety in the aviation sector, the causes of its occurrence, and ways to mitigate risks. Human errors, psychological and physiological factors, crew resource management (CRM), modern training systems, and the importance of safety culture are highlighted. The results of the study show that effective management of the human factor is an important condition for ensuring flight safety.
