-
appreciate the characteristics of the atmosphere that promote particular cloud formations and weather phenomena;
-
recognise hazardous weather conditions;
-
identify signs of deteriorating weather; and
-
determine if and when a change in weather conditions is likely.

Human factors
Human factors are issues affecting how people do their jobs. They are the social and personal skills, such as communication and decision making which complement our technical skills. These are important for safe and efficient aviation.
The study of human factors involves applying scientific knowledge about the human body and mind to help understand human capabilities and limitations. Human factors knowledge can be used to reduce the likelihood of errors and build more error tolerant and more resilient systems.
