Aero Medical or Human Performance focuses on understanding and optimizing the physical, mental, and physiological factors that influence aviation personnel's performance. It addresses how the human body and mind react to the unique stresses of the aviation environment, including altitude, fatigue, stress, and workload.

Key areas include:

• Physiological Factors: Effects of hypoxia, dehydration, and acceleration forces.
• Cognitive Performance: Decision-making, situational awareness, and attention management.
• Psychological Aspects: Stress, fatigue, and mental health.
• Ergonomics: Interaction with aircraft systems and cockpit design for efficiency and safety.

This field aims to enhance safety and efficiency by mitigating human limitations and promoting well-being in the aviation environment.
