, What is meant by "not knowing when to act"? - ANS Procedural violations in aviation
maintenance are inevitable because:

-Maintenance procedures are part of federal regulations
-Practically impossible for management or the FAA to ensure consistent compliance
-Increased emphasis on on-time performance rather than safety has encouraged shortcuts
Kohlberg level 1: self interest - ANS decision makers tend to abide by the published rules such
as regulations or corporate policies out of fear of prosecution if these rules were violated
What are the 12 Human Factors? - ANS Lack of Communication - This is simply the failure to
exchange information. The training should focus on not only how this comes to happen, but also
what safety net will prevent it. Very simply, in good communication, "the mental pictures must
match."
Complacency - This is where we become so self-satisfied that we lose awareness of dangers. It is
sometimes called overconficence and creeps in as we become more proficient at what we do.
Awareness of this insidious contributing factor is one of the safety nets that helps reduce it.
Lack of Knowledge - With constantly changing technology, this contributor to an error is more
common than we think. Add to that the fact that the average human only retains about 20% of
what they learn, unless they use it often. Training is one of the best safety nets we have to help
human error.
Distraction - This is anything that takes your mind off the job at hand even for an instant. Our
mind works much quicker than our hands, and thus we are always thinking ahead. Any
distraction can cause us to think we are further ahead than we actually are. This contributing
factor is known to be responsible for at least 15% of all aviation accidents.
Lack of Teamwork - The larger an organization becomes, the more common this contributing
factor is. Because teamwork is constantly evolving and changing, it must be constantly worked
on to prevent accidents from occurring. It is hard to gain and very easy to lose.
