The Human Error in European Air Traffic Management (HERA) is a project dedicated to the human factors perspective in incident/accident investigation, safety management and prediction of potential new forms of errors arising from new technology. In aviation, as in any industry, statistics indicate that human error is a contributing factor of the majority of incidents and accidents. As such, Human error is seen as a potential weak link in the ATM system and, therefore, measures must be taken to prevent errors and their impact, and to maximise other human qualities such as error detection and recovery.

It is critical that HF is fully integrated into Safety Management Systems (SMS) as humans remain at the heart of the ATM system, and therefore HF is a key enabler for ATM safety. The HF in SMS project aims to support ATM safety actors when integrating HF into their daily activities. The project has developed a training course, and is developing guidelines with methods and tools to better integrate human factors and “soft issues” into ATM SMS.

NOSS stands for Normal Operations Safety Survey. It is a method designed to capture threats to safety that arise during everyday operations, as they occur. NOSS is based on the Threat and Error Management framework. Although NOSS is based on observing controllers in their everyday work it is not designed to assess controller performance; rather it is concerned with acquiring an overview of how the system performs.
