Human factors principles are being applied unevenly in aviation maintenance due, in part, to uncertainties about the field. “Not everyone understands human factors,” says Simon Roberts, chairman of the European Human Factors Advisory Group and a 15-year veteran of the U.K.’s Civil Aviation Authority. “Some academics give the impression that you need to understand psychology and the science of the mind to get it, but I argue it is just people being people. Human factors is just what we do on a daily basis.”

The European Aviation Safety Agency is ordering swaps of high-cycle trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuators (THSAs) on Airbus A330s and older A340s after tests on a similar design fitted on A380s showed less-than-expected life limits.
