Just a few examples of our impact…
Supporting New and Cutting-Edge Flight Operations
Reviews and validations of procedures and training for airlines. Example; Air New Zealand's ground-breaking Queenstown RNP night operation (Airbus A320).
"Dr Jarvis' contribution was nothing short of a game changer for us" (Air New Zealand, 2019)
Pilot Monitoring Research
Within-industry scientific research (2013 to present) on pilot monitoring. Numerous outputs, including developing general emergency prioritisation principles and processes in airline and rotary domains.
Understanding Accidents
Accident investigations (for operators) regularly used, quoted and para-phrased by the UK Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB). Expert witnesses for many well know accidents.
Industry Guidance
CAP 737 (the UK CAA's 'Flight Crew Human Factors Handbook') edited, primarily authored and updated by Dr Jarvis, with chapters by Professor Bagshaw (among others). Popular around the world to help train pilot human factors, it is used extensively across other safety critical industries. CAP 737 is a free resource to download from the UK CAA website. Another example is CAA CAP 2583 (Research into HF effects of electronic conspicuity) written by Steve Jarvis.
Cutting Edge Industry Training
Hosted by the UK CAA, our recent CBTA courses ('Beyond Root Cause') for senior instructors/examiners, attracted over 100 participants from 30+ aviation organisations, resulting in exceptional feedback and repeat training requests from a number of airlines / operators.
Solving Inadvertent Slide Deployments
Our design of easyJet's unique (and unprecedented) A320 door checks in 2013 reduced inadvertent slide deployments from six-per-year to zero. We've worked on similar successful projects with several international mixed-fleet airlines.
Reducing Wrong-Deck Landings
Live-flying and simulator-based programme leading to recommendations implemented by operators across the world (including pilot practices before and after platform selection and crew decisions relating to automation levels).
