Autorenporträt

Demetris Yiannakides graduated from the Hellenic Air Force Academy as an aircraft pilot and then continued post-graduate studies at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Aeronautical science. Further to his everyday duties as an instructor pilot, he is also a visiting instructor in an EASA Part-147 maintenance organization in the fields of Human Factors and Aerodynamics. In parallel, he often participates in air navigation services audits as a qualified auditor. He and his wife live in Nicosia-Cyprus with one daughter. He enjoys watching football and drinking coffee with long lasting friends. Deeply affected by the loss of colleagues in the line of duty, he has devoted himself to raising awareness as concerns the dramatic impact of failing human factors on aviation safety.

Rezensionen

"This book provides a rich source of human error threats within aviation maintenance, with excellent examples of relevant incidents and accidents."

- Dr. Steve Scott, Human System Integration, Coventry University

"The approach and selection of the topics is complete and appropriate for the objectives/goals set by the authors at the introduction of the book.

I particularly like the fact that the authors have included a treatment of the 'communication' topic, which I believe it is of paramount importance when addressing the human factors in aircraft maintenance"
