UAS: Errors and Procedural Non-Compliance

Human Factors is a broad term to describe interactions among humans and other elements of a system. Human Factors training includes Procedural Non-Compliance.

There are many safety events that are the result of employees not following prescribed procedures for completing a task—known as Failure to Follow Procedures (FFP). The requirement is straightforward, but complying with it in practice is not. Despite the continued training and focus on following procedures, non-compliance is one of the most pervasive human factors issues contributing to accidents/incidents.

The UAS: Errors and Procedural Non-Compliance module explores the reasons why someone might not follow the rules and regulations, and how training and leadership can foster a safer UAS operation.
