Through the study of aviation accidents, most of the risks of flying have been identified and the threats they pose to safety can be managed. However, aircraft accidents, such as controlled flight into terrain, loss of control, runway excursions and incursions, and midair collisions still occur, and the hazards of flight remain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\"\u003eSome accidents happen due to mechanical failure, improper maintenance, or hazardous weather—but the vast majority are caused by pilot action (or inaction). Pilots can commit errors and make decisions that lead to tragic outcomes. Most accidents are not intentional; inadvertent errors made by flight crews arise from normal human physiological, psychological, and psychosocial limitations.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\"\u003eDrawing upon the latest scientific research, aviation safety studies, and accident findings, \u003ci\u003eHuman Factors: Enhancing Pilot Performance\u003c\/i\u003e thoroughly explores the nature of these human limitations and how they affect flight.
