The habitual blaming of pilots can also hinder the true purpose of an investigation - to discover the underlying causes of a disaster so that steps can be taken to avoid a repeat. This book combines systems theory with case studies and other research data, to provide a unique guide to the debate surrounding the aetiology of air disasters.

Synopsis
Air accidents and disasters are often attributed to 'pilot error'. The author argues that such 'blamism' may obscure the underlying cause(s) of a disaster, as errors can also be induced through bad design, poor training, unrealistic rosters, sub-standard maintenance, and other factors totally outside the control of the flight crew. This book combines systems theory with research data and case studies and is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the aetiology of air disasters.
