1. Unit 4 Unmanned Aircraft
Module 1 – Human interaction and UAS

2. Module 1 – human Interaction and uas
1.1 – The Human Element
Software Interaction
Increased complexity of the software may lead to decreases in efficiency.
Types of learning ERRORS
Skill
Skill based errors are defined as an action made and not what is intended
Can be caused by hitting the wrong button, or forgetting the objectives of the mission
Knowledge
Caused by mistakes from lack of knowledge or a type of decision error
Often done when someone does not know how to preform a task
Rule
Error in which planning or the decision resulted in an error form not following a procedure or rule
Actions match intentions but outcome is affected by rule/procedure violations
Violations
This sections is for explicit violations of rules, broken into two sub categories
Routine – violations regularly preformed and is tolerated by the organization or flight department
Exceptional – isolated and are not condoned by management

3. Module 1 – human Interaction and uas
Initial and recurrent training courses
An initial training course covers that following areas of knowledge:
Applicable regulations relating to small unmanned aircraft system rating privileges, limitations, and flight operations;
Effects of weather on small unmanned aircraft performance;
Small unmanned aircraft loading;
Emergency procedures;
Crew resource management;
Determining the performance of small unmanned aircraft; and
Maintenance and preflight inspection procedures.
1.1 – The Human Element
Reasons for Learning ERRORS
Experience
Can transfer from on system or organization to another
Can cause an operator to become more lax as they more familiar
Software Design
Automation can be a great asset to an operator
Over relicense on automation can cause the operator to reduce vigilance
System Complexity
Operator error that leads to spending to much time on controlling the system
Complex menu structures, control mechanics, or other factors can have an effect on the operator

4. Module 1 – human Interaction and uas
Initial and recurrent training courses
(b) A recurrent training course covers the following areas of knowledge:
Applicable regulations relating to small unmanned aircraft system rating privileges, limitations, and flight operation;
Emergency procedures;
Crew resource management; and
Maintenance and preflight inspection procedures.
1.1 – The Human Element
Reasons for Learning ERRORS
Stress
Can come from three sources: physical, physiological, or psychological
Can be acute or chronic
Acute – short term stress
Chronic – long term stress
Can have both a positive and negative effect on performance
Four ways to deal with stress
Ignore the problem – saying the risks are not serious and corrective action is not warranted
Minor action – identifying the risks but the risks are tow low for alternative actions
Avoiding the problem – find a way to achieve the same desired output without involving risk
Stay Vigilant
Fatigue
Sleepiness or desire to rest due to several factors
Long shifts, environmental stressors, high workload, repeated chronic stress, or interruption of circadian rhythms

5. Module 1 – human Interaction and uas
1.1 – The Human Element
Reasons for Learning ERRORS
Communication breakdown
Can be the result of:
Changes in the environment
Chang in system status
Assuming roles of other crewmembers
Not speaking up or making danger clear to other workers
