"PERFECT WORKING
CONDITIONS” MAY CAUSE
AIRLINE ACCIDENTS
WASHINGTON UD — Some air
accidents may happen because
pilots "enjoy what appears to be
the ultimate working conditions”
and are lulled into inattention, a
Navy psychologist suggested yes
terday.
“Our next goal will be to find
ways of improving the pilot’s situa
tion by making it less perfect,”
said Richard Trumbill, Director of
Psychological Sciences for the Of
fice of Naval Research (ONR).
“In other words, we will seek
ways of keeping man alive by
keeping him alert.”
Trumbull’s views, spelled out in
an ONR publication, were directed
to the problems of Naval aviation
but have obvious application to
commercial flying as well.
He noted that in spite of re
markable advances in aircraft de
sign, and what he called human
engineering, plane accidents con
tinued to occur, “in some respects
at a surprisingly high rate.”
In view of such advances, Trum
bull said, it may seem paradoxical
that accidents occur because of
pilot error, even in perfect flying
weather.
The average American family
now has 13 electrical appliances.
