The data were analyzed using the thematic network of analysis. Results-The results show that in the interaction of each dimension of the SHELL model various cognitive and human factors are involved in flying. Conclusion-This research is highly applicable to understand the psychological aspects that can be used to improve the efficiency of pilots and ensure safety measures in the aviation sector.
