Aviation Safety Reporting System

The most basic goal of the aviation human factors discipline is to improve flight safety. This goal is instantiated in the optimization of displays and controls to make correct operation efficient and erroneous operation unlikely. Incident data are an important source of information for identifying safety problems and quantifying the safety of the system, including trends in safety, e.g., due to operational changes. Incident data can also provide insights from the participants as to the underlying factors and sequence of events or conditions that are present in safety anomalies. These data can, and should, play an important role in human factors research and the operation of human-machine systems. The Aviation Safety Reporting System is a voluntary incident reporting system with contributions predominantly from pilots and air traffic controllers. The database currently holds over 100,000 incident reports from the last five years. Each report contains information identifying the type of flight or air traffic control facility, the nature of the airspace, the experience level of the reporter, the type of incident, and often a detailed description of the circumstances which contributed to the loss of safety. The nonpunitive nature of the reporting system stimulates reports that are revealing of human error and systemic weaknesses. This depository of information provides a unique source of very high quality incident data.

The Ideal

By looking at the growth of air transport has increased quite significantly, certainly not independent human resources needs to guide them in Air Traffic Control personnel. In this case one of the problems encountered in field of aviation is the imbalance between supply and demand on Ihe one hard, the growth of air transport have increased and on one side of the energv needs of ATC is not in accordance with the operation of the flight. In connection with this case was the result of the ability of the Aviation safety Techical Academy, in terms of manpower needs in Particular ATC Sultan Hasanuddin Airport in Makassar, which now number 144 ATC personel, whereas the ideal number to 145 people personnel. However, the results of estimates / projections for 2015 amounted to 182 personnel required by the ATC.

Aviation Safety Reporting System

Persistent and pervasive, pilot confusion reigns as the most frequently reported, yet under-investigated, human factor in aviation mishaps. Using Aviation Safety Reporting System incident reports with pilot self-appraisal of confusion, the current study analyzed pilot confusion, and the relationships of confusion-related antecedents, conditions, and events. Results indicated that types and patterns of pilot confusion exist, and these can be classified in the context of operational-specific conditions and the nature of the confusing events. Results further revealed that when both pilots experienced confusion during the same event, it was not inherently shared confusion. Crew configuration and phase of flight were associated, as well as phase of flight and type of confusion. Significant differences were revealed in the human factors, contributing factors, and primary problems associated with incidents of pilot confusion. A novelty matrix for classifying incidents was evaluated, and revisions recommended for adaptation to aviation-specific use.

Coincidence Between the Scientific and Folk Uses of the Term “Situation(al) Awareness” in Aviation Incident Reports

The Impact

A total of 81,378 reports from the Aviation Safety Reporting System were analyzed to determine if discrepancies appear to exist between the folk use of the term situation(al) awareness, as reflected in the use of the term by pilots and controllers when reporting incidents, and the scientific use of the term, as reflected by prior research. In all, 1,151 (1.4%) reports were identified as citing situation(al) awareness in the narrative portion of the records. This represents a surprisingly large discrepancy between the prevalence of the use of the term situational awareness in incidents and what one might expect from the literature. Inconsistencies were also found for the impact of experience on situation awareness. The effects of workload and perceptual conditions were consistent between this and other empirical studies. These findings suggest that differences do exist between the folk use of the term situation(al) awareness and the scientific use, with implications for understanding and measuring situation awareness.
