Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The papers selected for this volume have strongly influenced modern thinking about why skilled experts make errors and how to make aviation error resilient, and are based on recent human factors research which reveals that errors made by skilled human operators - such as pilots, controllers, and mechanics - are not root causes but symptoms of the way the industry operates.
MoreLong description:
Most aviation accidents are attributed to human error, pilot error especially. Human error also greatly effects productivity and profitability. In his overview of this collection of papers, the editor points out that these facts are often misinterpreted as evidence of deficiency on the part of operators involved in accidents. Human factors research reveals a more accurate and useful perspective: The errors made by skilled human operators - such as pilots, controllers, and mechanics - are not root causes but symptoms of the way industry operates. The papers selected for this volume have strongly influenced modern thinking about why skilled experts make errors and how to make aviation error resilient.
'...an extremely valuable and useful book...this excellent book will give students of human factors a good grounding in the subject..' The Aerospace Professional
