Reading List
I get asked a number of times about what we might or should be reading if we are to improve our own personal knowledge of human factors, non-technical skills, crew resource management and human behaviour in general.
The course handouts which are given to every student contain this - they are not mandatory reading but provide background & detail to the subjects being taught & learned.
Direct links to Amazon for the books, where possible, are listed below.
