Inducing Factors

In recent years, over 75% civil aviation accidents are caused by pilots manipulation mistake or cognitive error, but there is still no quantitative method to research pilots error. With the statistics and analysis of NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) aviation database, the aviation case base ontology model has been established in the paper, which was the closest airworthiness directive to classify the aviation accidents according to the classification of aviation system. The pilots error in the aviation accident and the factors possibly causing the pilots error were analyzed based on Reason model to propose the inducing factors for pilots error. With the human factor analytical method, the behavior factors inducing the pilots error obtained from the pilot himself included excessive manipulation number, external environment interference, insufficient experience, physiological and psychological conditions, insufficient time margin. Pilots behavior shaping factors can guide the rational design of manipulation procedure and pilot training, thus enhancing the flight safety.

Globally, civil air traffic has been growing rapidly in recent years, and with this growth, there has been a considerable improvement in air safety. However, in Indonesia, the recent rate of incidents and accidents in aviation is far higher than the global average. This study aims to assess civil aviation safety occurrences in Indonesia and, for the first time, to investigate factors contributing to these occurrences within commercial Indonesian aviation operations. In this study, 97 incident/accident investigation reports published by the Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee between 2007 and 2015 were analysed. The most common occurrences involved Runway Excursions, Loss of Control In-Flight, and Controlled Flight into Terrain. In terms of the likelihoods of the occurrences and the severity of consequences, Runway Excursions were more common while Loss of Control In-Flight and Controlled Flight into Terrain events were more severe and often involved fatalities. In Indonesia, Runway Excursions were usually nonfatal and comprised 45% of the occurrences for commercial flights, compared to 34% globally. Further, in this study, weather and Crew Resource Management issues were found to be common contributing factors to the occurrences. Weather was a contributing factor for almost 50% of the occurrences involving Indonesian commercial flights. Adverse weather contributed to Loss of Visual Reference for visual flight operations in mountainous areas, which contributed to the majority of Indonesian fatal accidents. The combination of Indonesian monsoon climate and mountainous weather characteristics appears to provide many risks, mitigation of which may require specialist pilot training, particularly for multicrew aircraft. In identifying the main contributing factors, this study will hopefully provide motivation for changes in training and operations to enhance future aviation safety in Indonesia.

Flight safety has been an important topic for both academia and the industry. Aviation experts and authorities, as well as commercial airline administrators, constantly seek to improve flight safety. Researchers, on the other hand, have tried to model avionic fatalities and suggest improvements or upgrades in flight systems to reduce risk. One approach has been to use data from past accidents and incidents to capture and model the relationship between the different factors involved in each event. However, some important factors are not included in the databases maintained by entities such as the National Transportation Safety Board. This study divides the factors involved into dependent variables (DVs) and independent variables (IVs). IVs include flight factors—for instance, weather and pilotrelated data. DVs report the magnitude of the incident/accident, such as the number of casualties. This research will improve existing databases—first, by adding variables, and second, by using multivariate statistical analysis to assess the effect each group of IVs has on correlations between flight factors and accident/incident-magnitude factors. Findings demonstrate that pilot-related factors exert the most influence on the correlation between the two categories. Our findings on the significance of factors or groups of factors will assist researchers, policy makers, flight managers, and flight-crew schedulers in their efforts to increase flight safety.

Operational Activities

During an operational process, activity is implemented through an ordered sequence of certain actions united by a common motive. Actions can be simple or complex. Simple actions cannot be split into elements having independent objectives. Complex actions can be presented in the form of a set of simple actions. If the logical organisation of this set is open, a complex action can be described as an algorithm consisting of simple actions. That means various kinds of operational activities develop from the same simple and typical actions, but in various sequences. Therefore, human error is always generated by a more elementary error of action. Thus, errors of action are the primary parameter that is universal for any kind of activity of an aviation specialist and can serve as a measure for estimating the negative influence of the human factor (HF) on flight safety. Aviation personnel are various groups of experts having various specialisations and working in various areas of civil aviation. It is obvious that their influence on conditions is also unequal and is defined by their degree of interaction with the performance of flights. In this article, the results of an analysis of air incidents will be presented.

To identify risk items, measure risk value objectively, and establish risk assessment matrix of airports is the major task of airport safety. This paper first extracts 14 risk items of airports from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation accidents database and then applies Failure Modes, Effect and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) to define the decision factors of probability, severity and detectability of airport risks. This paper also designs a questionnaire and applies fuzzy logic to discover the importance of decision factors, to find out the threshold value of Risk Assessment Matrix, and to prioritize the airport risks. This paper uses Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport as a case study to demonstrate the modeling process and analyze the results.

The problem of the unfavorable weather conditions impact on aircraft, including electric discharges on aircraft, continues to be relevant. For the successful implementation of flights, aviation as a type of transport should ensure safety, regularity and economy of air transportation. The aerial meteorology always takes an active part in above problems solution, since flight safety depends on timely prediction of unfavorable weather conditions. Modern airfield and aircraft equipment, as well as a new meteorological technique, helped to improve flight safety and reduce the number of accidents associated with adverse weather conditions, but this did not solve all the problems of civil aviation meteorological support. This problem is especially acute in small airports, where there are often no means of meteorological support and warnings about dangerous weather phenomena or they are insufficient. The article analyzes various unfavorable weather conditions, their influence on aircraft, provides statistics related to unfavorable weather conditions of aviation accidents, and shows the proportion of meteorological conditions among the factors affecting safety. Particular attention is paid to the problem of electric discharges to aircraft. The consequences of electric discharges on aircraft, as well as weather conditions contributing to electric discharges, are analyzed. In order to improve flight safety at local airports, it is proposed to create mobile units for collecting, processing and transmitting meteorological information that is territorially spread over the aerodrome zone; it allows to create mobile meteorological radar network. The structural scheme of the deployment of the mobile network for meteorological radars is given.

The article presents the results of the "risk pyramids" analysis of commercial aviation for their adequacy to the current state of the aviation transport system of Russia. The necessity of annual updating of "risk pyramids" is shown, as the aviation transport system (ATS) of Russia is dynamic and the ATS state changes faster than the accident rate statistical indicators characterizing this state. The method of linear weighted moving average for the synthesis and annual correction of the "risk pyramids" parameters with an optimized averaging coefficient – 7 years is substantiated and proposed. The optimization of the averaging coefficient is performed by the criterion of the minimum mismatch between the averaged values of the "risk pyramids" parameters and the current (annual) values determined by the statistical data of an aviation events. The general and private "risk pyramids" of commercial aviation of Russia synthesized by results of the statistical factorial analysis of aviation events for 2009–2016 are presented. The synthesis of "risk pyramids" is made in accordance with the classification of aviation events in the civil aviation of Russia, separately by causative factors: "Human", "Aircraft", "Environment". The parameters of the "risk pyramids" reflect the conditional probability of an aviation event of great severity (for example, a catastrophe), if there were aviation events of less severity (for example, incidents).  The parameters of the presented pyramids are intended for inclusion into the algorithms of indirect estimation of probability of aviation accidents for any airline and any period of flight work (from a month or more).

BACKGROUND: From 2007, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) permitted pilots who have had a heart transplant to be considered for recertification under special issuance at the third-class level. The objective of this study was to evaluate certification safety and determine if any adverse outcome occurred in this airman group as a consequence of this policy.METHODS: Methods involved collecting data from the FAA Document Imaging Workflow System to identify airmen undergoing cardiac transplantation since 2007, and examining medical and safety-related outcomes through the National Transportation Safety Board-related accident database and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Death Index.RESULTS: Included in the study were 36 airmen, with 16 recertified at the class 3 level and 20 denied certification. No aviation accidents or recorded deaths occurred in the group of 16 airmen undergoing recertification. Of these airmen, 13 underwent a second successful recertification and 6 underwent a third attempt, with 5 being successful. Two airmen have declared their intention to fly under BasicMed. Of the 20 airmen denied recertification, 16 were denied for failure to provide information. There were three deaths in this denied group.DISCUSSION: The policy allowing third-class heart transplant recipient recertification appears to be safe. Aviation safety is not being compromised by allowing these airmen to resume flying, with the exception that recertification should continue under the special issuance system and not through BasicMed.Norris A, Skaggs V, Kaye D, De Voll J, McGiffin D.
