Looking Beyond the Cockpit: Human Computer Interaction in the Causal Complexes of Aviation Accidents
Aviation mishaps stem from complex combinations of human error, managerial failure, design flaws, environmental and meteorological factors. Mackie uses 'Causal fields' to denote a subjective frame of reference that guides a search for particular causes. This helps to explain why many investigators focus on 'Primary' forms of human computer interaction....
