Abstract
One of the major changes to occur in the world of airline training over the past few years has been the emphasis on Human Factors. Originally focusing on the pilot community, Human Factors has now spread into the training sphere of maintenance technicians. An in-depth review of an aviation incident reveals time and again that a series of human errors (known also as a chain of events) was allowed to accumulate until the accident occurred. If a maintenance error was part of the chain of events leading to the accident and if we can diffuse what affected the technician’s judgement, the accident will not happen.
