Human Performance & Limitations

Bob Tait’s CPL Human Factors book covers the practical “people-side” of safe commercial flying—how pilots think, perform, and make decisions under pressure. It explains key topics in clear, operational terms, including situational awareness, workload and fatigue, communication and teamwork (CRM and Non-Technical skills), threat and error management, stress, human performance limitations, and decision making. Written for efficient study and real-world relevance, it builds the understanding you need for the CPL exam and for professional cockpit standards.
