Abstract This study examines training pilot survey data in order to determine how students’ years of education and the institutions that they attend affect their perceptions of the risk factors in aviation as assessed using the SHELL model (software, hardware, environment, and liveware). The results reveal that student pilots lack confidence with respect to their knowledge during flights; moreover, they fail to recognize the importance of maintaining relationships among supporting staff such as air traffic controllers, mechanics, and others involved in the flight process. The findings suggest that to meet an increased demand for pilots, newly approved training centers are needed, centers which will foster awareness of interaction between human factors and other aspect of aviation safety; to support this, there should be more standardization of curricula.

    Highlights This study focuses on the relationship between students’ flights experiences and the institutions they attended on their perceptions of risk factors. The results revealed that standardized programs should be implemented to improve ATOs as they adapt to meet an increasing demand for pilots. The standardized programs entail the enactment of appropriate oversight and evaluation by relevant authorities.
