Steven,
The number first showed up, i beleive, in the following highly cited
document:
Jensen, R.S. & Benel, R.A. (1977) Judgment evaluations and instruction
in civil pilot
training (FAA RD 78 24). Savoy, Il: University of Illinois Aviation
Research Laboratory. (NTIS No. AD A057 440).
However, depending on where you read from, you might find percentages of
between 60 to 80% of accidents/incidents attributed to the human
element.
Another point that you may find interesting is that (now please don't
ask me where i might have found it) aproximately the same percentage
(two thirds to three quarters) of all incindents in nuclear plants are
also attributed to the human elements.
Give me a few days and I will see if I can find it.

Steven,
The number first showed up, i beleive, in the following highly cited document:
Jensen, R.S. & Benel, R.A. (1977) Judgment evaluations and instruction
in civil pilot
training (FAA RD 78 24). Savoy, Il: University of Illinois Aviation
Research Laboratory. (NTIS No. AD A057 440).
However, depending on where you read from, you might find percentages of between 60 to 80% of accidents/incidents attributed to the human element.
Another point that you may find interesting is that (now please don't ask me where i might have found it) aproximately the same percentage (two thirds to three quarters) of all incindents in nuclear plants are also attributed to the human elements.

Mark, thank you for alerting us to the new training program. I am particularly interested in the paragraph that states:"Statistics show that approximately 65 percent of all fatal air carrier accidents list human error as a probable cause," said Dr. Herman Rediess, director of the Office of Aviation Research.
Can you steer me to the FAA document where that original statistic came from? I have always heard a NASA stat of 75 percent.
Thanks in advance,
Steve Mayes
