The author takes the reader through the turmoil of flight emergencies, unpopular ground-directed missions, and, ultimately, aircraft mishaps. He describes the difficult conditions placed upon the flyers by a system inadequately prepared to address human factor issues, and points out that it is the responsibility of those on the ground to improve the conditions of the flyer. Those improvements can come from knowledge based on research and appreciation of the flyers' mission. Chapter 1 provides details of the problems associated with aircraft accident investigations and the impact these can have on the flyer's dignity. Chapter 2 describes many of the dangers associated with flight, as well as the skills necessary to overcome those hazards. Chapter 3 describes the current state of human factor issues and flight safety. Chapter 4 deals with ergonomics and their relationship with flight safety. Chapter 5 matches the role of the flight surgeon with the operational requirements of the flyers. Chapter 6 identifies the problems encountered when one is too conservative toward a profession that requires radical, rapid, and sometimes fatal in flight decisions. Chapter 7 explains how the flyer can maintain a healthy body and mind. Chapter 8 summarises the research and lessons learned by the author while working with the flyer and within the establishment. 收起
