Some items from the USN HFACS Primer:
Sensory- Perceptual factors
Misjudged distance, clearance, altitude, speed, etc.
False perception due to visual illusion
False perception due to vestibular illusion
Spatial Disorientation/Vertigo
Loss of Situation Awareness (SA)
Geographic disorientation (off navigation route or map/lost)
General loss of SA (did not perceive hazardous condition)
Erroneous situation assessment (misinterpreted situation or condition)
Failed to predict/anticipate changing conditions
False hypothesis/confirmation bias (persistent false perception or misconception of situation)
Attention failure (did not monitor or respond when correct information was available)
Types:
A. Missed flight checklist items, callout, or crew challenge.
B. Failed to monitor flight progress or maintain instrument scan.
C. Failed to respond to communication or warning input.
D. Control action errors (motor response SLIP or memory LAPSE)
Conditions that influence Attention and Situation Awareness:
1. Inattention (focused on information unrelated to cockpit tasks/flying)
2. Channelized or task fixated (psychological perceptual narrowing)
3. Distraction (by internal/mental preoccupation, or by external event)
4. Task overload (excess tasking with/without mission performance time pressure)
5. Cognitive workload (problem-solving concentration or information overload)
6. Habituation (old/previous learned habit interference)
7. Excess aircrew stress or fatigue level.
8. Excess mission tasking or workload.
9. Inadequate briefing or poor flight preparation.
10. Inadequate training or experience for mission.
11. Negative learning transfer (e.g. transitioning to new aircraft).
12. Adverse weather/meteorological conditions.
13. Adverse cockpit environmental conditions (temperature, vibrations, etc.)
14. Tactical situation or display information overload.
15. Low aircrew motivation and poor flight vigilance.
16. Poor cockpit design (control/display location or data format)
