The Operator’s Guide to Human Factors in Aviation (OGHFA) was a  project designed to give information on Human Factors topics. It was  founded and created by the Flight Safety Foundation European Advisory  Committee. We will use this guide throughout the course in different  activities. However, this guide and any other materials from SKYbrary are not to be purchased for this course.
