Over the past decade, drones, or Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), have transformed industries across the United States, becoming indispensable tools in commercial operations such as package delivery, construction, firefighting, and infrastructure inspection. Recreational drone usage has also surged. As this technology continues to expand, the safety and efficiency of UAS operations rely not only on technological advancements and regulatory frameworks but also on the critical role of human performance.
This book offers an exploration of human factors in UAS operations, providing readers with a holistic understanding of how human performance influences safety, efficiency, and scalability across commercial, public, and recreational sectors. Authored by FAA-certified remote pilots, human factors professionals, and safety experts, this title combines theoretical insights with practical applications, making it a versatile guide for anyone invested in the future of safe and efficient UAS operations. Drawing on aviation safety frameworks and human factors principles, it examines key elements such as team dynamics, trust, workload, situational awareness, and decision-making in UAS environments. Through real-world case studies and FAA regulatory insights, the book addresses operational hazards, risk mitigation strategies, and the application of Safety Management Systems (SMS). Concluding chapters focus on operator requirements, training, and workload management, while tackling human-in-the-loop challenges in advanced air mobility (AAM) environments. Readers will gain practical tools and knowledge to enhance UAS operational safety and reduce human errors.
Human Factors and Safety in Emerging Unmanned Aircraft System Operations: Exploring Operational Challenges is an essential resource for aviation practitioners, researchers, and instructors seeking to understand human factors in UAS operations.
