The aeronautical industry has developed extensive research in causal factors and methodologies to prevent risks associated with human factors. Pilots work in complex environments that require significant skills and deep knowledge of the way in which the planes and the systems that control them work. However, this may not be sufficient if there are no clear protocols to interact with air traffic controllers and their own crew in crucial moments that could end in a catastrophe.
