Flight training and flying are hazardous activities that demand the most of human operators, whether they be pilots or other actors involved in the complex aviation system. This book aims to serve as a handbook for dealing with aviators and other operators, those seen as patients as well as those functioning normally, who nonetheless wish to improve their performance. The text intersects the human factors and clinical areas of aviation and operators in extreme environments. The book defines specific touchstone areas such as selection, training, accident investigation, measurement and testing and practical interventions. The "little-margin-for-error" realm of aviation exposes operators to stress and risk on a daily basis, and the book offers a blueprint for combining the talents of clinical psychologists with flight surgeons and human factors practitioners to enhance safety and efficiency.

A must read for the aviation-minded psychologist,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aerospace Clinical Psychology (Studies in Aviation Psychology and Human Factors) (Hardcover)
Dr. King does an excellent job describing and reviewing the numerous aerospace psychology and human factors topics in the field. His discussion and development of these topics is written in a concise and helpful manner. The book has a little bit for ever reader. For example, the novice to aviation psychology will no doubt enjoy building a solid foundation in a variety of general human factors concepts and literature. The intermediate to advanced student of the field will value the thorough review of research-supported studies and specific case examples provided. Dr. King draws upon his rich and diverse experiences as a practicing aviation psychology guru and has created a must read for the aspiring aerospace psychologist.
