Air Safety

At the outset, I must make it quite clear that any views or opinions expressed are my own and are not necessarily those of either British European Airways or the Flight Safety Committee.In this paper, I have attempted to discuss some of the problems which face those whose task is to obtain and to disseminate safety information. At the end, I have posed a number of questions which I believe are relevant and should be posed, and which Harold Caplan will take up in his subsequent discussion of the legal problems.Air Safety is essentially the prevention of accidents by minimising the risk of encountering foreseeable hazards and the consequences of unforeseen situations. Thus the dissemination of air safety information is simply the spreading of accident prevention material. It is undoubtedly best achieved by a sharing among all concerned of the lessons learned from their incident and accident experience. This activity is one that has to be shared by operators, flight and ground crew, air traffic control, the designers and makers of aircraft, engines and equipment, and regulatory authorities.

Under Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) sponsorship, MITRE's Human Performance Assessment Group is contributing to the design of an expert system to support air traffic control. We are working closely with a team of expert, full-performance-level air traffic controllers to capture the formal and informal rules they use in maintaining flight safety and efficiency. This paper documents our approach to working with these experts, the results of using that approach, and a distillation of lessons learned.

First Time

This study examined the effect of humor on airline safety information retention. Passenger attention to pre- flight safety demonstrations is low, even though it may impact the chance of survival in an aviation accident. Airlines have employed humor and entertainment to educate passengers on safety information. This study explored whether the humorous presentation increases retention of safety information, or if humor acts as a distraction from safety relevant information. Participants viewed two pre-flight safety demonstration videos (humorous and non-humorous) in counterbalanced order then answered short-answer questions about the content of the videos. Retention scores after viewing either type of video for the first time were the same. However, when a humorous video was shown prior to a standard safety video, retention scores for safety material dropped. These findings suggest that humorous safety demonstrations may be more effective, not because they are best at conveying information, but because passengers do not attend to standard videos if they have previously been exposed to a humorous version.

The Usa

With the increased demand for the air travel the air traffic control (ATC) systems have been improving over the years. Today, the advances in the technology can enable even more capacity and better performance for the air travel. With those goals in mind, two distinct, but similar programmes are striving to develop new ATC systems: Next Gen in the USA and SESAR programme in Europe. Both programmes aim at developing new systems for the implementation around the year 2020. The innovation adoption and adaptation is illustrated by the story of User Request Evaluation Tool development and implementation, followed by the discussion of main lessons. First, the lessons learned from the innovation process of the tool itself are discussed, to be followed by the discussion of the interaction of various organizations that were involved.

The "mistakes, forgetfulness, and negligence" accidents in Air Traffic Control (ATC) have a great impact on flight safety. On the basis of Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), the paper established the "mistakes, forgetfulness, and negligence" accidents in ATC fault tree, obtained all the minimal cut sets, and qualitatively analyzed the cause of accidents. According to survey data, the paper calculated the probability of the top event, as well as the probability importance degree coefficients and critical importance degree coefficients of basic events, and quantitatively analyzed the cause of accidents. The results show that the weak sense of responsibility, poor safety awareness, unsound rules and regulations, inadequate enforcement of rules and regulations, and high control office noise are the main factors leading to the accident. The paper provides ATC units with recommendations to establish solutions to "mistakes, forgetfulness, and negligence" accidents in ATC.

Blade Repair

Blades are key components in aircraft engines, and flight safety is directly impacted by the repair quality of blades. Digital modeling for the surfaces of high pressure blades is conducted in this study based on the cloud data collected with scan. Boundary points of blades are obtained with the method of varied step lengths according to curvature, and then the envelope curves are plotted from the approximation of these boundary points with a third power B spline. 3-D digital models of blades in aero-engines are established with the envelope curves and the condensed data cloud. Results illustrate the smoothness and accuracy of the proposed engine blade repair model.
