International Air Transportation Association has developed a Fatigue Risk Management System together with International Civil Aviation Organization and the International Federation of Airline Pilots' Association to present a common approach to pilots, regulators, and operators to the complex issue of fatigue. In fact, human factors in aviation have always been concerned with 'human error. The tabulation and counting of errors were fruitful investments in safety research.

In fact, human factors in aviation have always been concerned with 'human error. The tabulation and counting of errors were fruitful investments in safety research. With an enormous progression on the technical reliability of safety critical systems, it appeared if the 'human error' became more critical in the urge for continuous improvement. The concept of 'human error' made contact with a variety of research disciplines resulting in plurality of theories, concepts, definitions, models, and perspectives by the 1980s. Although 'human error' is still a common explanation for accidents, the term itself turned into the topic of scientific discourse.
