  - Workload Management: Prioritizing tasks during high-demand situations.  

 2. Human Error

- Types of Errors:

  - Skill-based (slips and lapses).  

  - Decision-making errors (rule-based or knowledge-based).  

- **Error Models**:

- **Error Mitigation**:

  - Standard operating procedures (SOPs).  

  - Cross-checking and redundancy.  

 3. Physiological Factors

- Hypoxia:  

  - Types (hypoxic, hypemic, stagnant, histotoxic).

- **Vision**:  

  - Night vision limitations, illusions (e.g., false horizons, autokinesis).  

- **Disorientation**:  

  - Vestibular illusions (e.g., leans, Coriolis illusion).  

  - Prevention strategies.  

 4. Stress and Performance

- Stress Types:  

  - Acute, chronic, and environmental stressors.  

- **Effects on Performance**:

  - Overload and underload conditions.  

  - Performance curve (optimal stress level).  

- **Coping Mechanisms**:

  - Relaxation techniques, time management, and stress reduction strategies.  

 5. Cognitive Processes

- Decision-Making Models:  

  - **DECIDE Model**: Detect, Estimate, Choose, Identify, Do, Evaluate.

   - Explain the vestibular illusions that may occur during IMC flight.  

4. **Stress and Performance**:  

   - Describe how stress affects decision-making in high-pressure scenarios.  

   - What strategies can a pilot use to manage fatigue effectively?  

5. **Cognitive Processes**:  

   - How does the DECIDE model assist in aeronautical decision-making?  

   - Discuss the effects of multitasking on pilot performance.  

6. **Interpersonal Skills**:  

   - Why is assertiveness critical in multi-crew operations?  

   - How can conflict between crew members be managed effectively?  

7. **Cultural and Organizational Factors**:  

   - What is power distance, and how can it affect communication in the cockpit?  

   - Explain the role of a positive safety culture in preventing accidents.

 Study Tips

1. **Understand Human Factors Principles**: Relate theoretical knowledge to real-world aviation scenarios.  

2. **Review Case Studies**: Analyze accidents where human factors played a role (e.g., Tenerife disaster, Asiana 214).  

3. **Focus on Practical Applications**: Be prepared to answer situational questions, like handling fatigue or resolving conflicts.  

4. **Use Mnemonics and Models**: Memorize key models (DECIDE, OODA, Swiss Cheese) for structured answers.  

5. **Simulate Scenarios**: Practice CRM skills in a flight simulator, focusing on teamwork and communication.
