Abstract

Aerospace Engineering Interdisciplinary Engineering Psychology SHERPA errors reliability validity
This paper introduces SHERPA (Systematic Human Error Reduction and Prediction Approach) as a means for predicting pilot error. SHERPA was initially developed for predicting human error in the nuclear industry about 15 years ago. Since that time validation studies to support the continued use of SHERPA have been encouraging. Most research shows that SHERPA is amongst the best human error prediction tools available. Yet there is little research in the open literature of error prediction for cockpit tasks. This study attempts to provide some evidence for the reliability and validity of SHERPA in aviation domain.
