Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the course is to enable students to understand the impact of reliability and performance of the human factor on process safety in organizations engaged in aircraft maintenance and repair process. After completing the course the student will be able to distinguish priorities and use tools to increase operational safety, after further training also work in the company safety management system.

Summary
The course Human Factor in Aircraft Maintenance is designed primarily to help students understand the role of man in a man-made system. It consists not only of the technological part (technical factor), but also of the people who design, operate and maintain the system (human and organizational factor). After a long period of development of man-made systems, in case of their failure, only the reliability (safety) of technologies was solved, while the performance and reliability of man was solved only marginally. This course will enable students to understand the importance of the impact of human performance and reliability on the efficiency and especially the safety of man-made systems, where direct failure of the human factor currently contributes in approximately 75% to the causes of failure of the entire system (incidents, accidents). In studying this course, students will gain knowledge about important aspects of human performance and reliability in aircraft maintenance and repair processes, the main sources of the human failure and especially measures that can permanently reduce the risk of human failure to an acceptable level due to the expected consequences.
