The Naked Pilot

The Human Factor in Aircraft Accidents

David Beaty

Investigations into the causes of aircraft accidents have for decades focused on what happened and who did it – very rarely Why? It is the question Why? that David Beaty has addressed here, fighting the misnomer of ‘pilot error’ and propounding that the cause should be sought deeper inside human beings who make apparently simple human errors.
