The book Psicología Aeronáutica, also known as aviation psychology or aerospace psychology, focuses on the study of human behavior and performance in the context of aviation and aeronautics. This specialized field applies psychological principles and research methods to understand and improve various aspects of human performance in aviation, ranging from pilot selection and training to crew resource management, human factors in aircraft design, aviation safety and accident investigation.

Aeronautical psychologists seek to optimize the interaction between humans and aviation systems, ensuring that pilots and staff are well prepared to meet the demands and challenges of their roles. Their study encompasses factors such as human perception, cognition, attention, decision making, stress and workload management, as well as error management and handling.
