Download or read book Aviation Safety written by Hans M. Soekkha and published by VSP. This book was released on 1997-08 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions concerning safety in aviation attract a great deal of attention, due to the growth in this industry and the number of fatal accidents in recent years. The aerospace industry has always been deeply concerned with the permanent prevention of accidents and the conscientious safeguarding of all imaginable critical factors surrounding the organization of processes in aeronautical technology. However, the developments in aircraft technology and control systems require further improvements to meet future safety demands. This book embodies the proceedings of the 1997 International Aviation Safety Conference, and contains 60 talks by internationally recognized experts on various aspects of aviation safety. Subjects covered include: Human interfaces and man-machine interactions; Flight safety engineering and operational control systems; Aircraft development and integrated safety designs; Safety strategies relating to risk insurance and economics; Corporate aspects and safety management factors --- including airlines services and airport security environment.

Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Engineering - Aerospace Technology, Everglades University, language: English, abstract: The Pre-Flight Safety Briefing: What are the Reasons for some Passengers’ Lack of Attentiveness during Pre-Flight Safety Briefing? Traveling by air has its own special challenges and hazards. Passengers’ safety is a major topic of interest for the airlines since its inception, and the best service an air carrier can provide is good safety. This thesis examined the behavioral patterns of some passengers who lack the attentiveness during pre-flight safety briefing. The researcher compared the behavior of three segments: leisure travelers, frequent fliers, and the aviation professionals. The main finding of this research was that people crave acceptance by whatever group they choose to belong to. Based on the conclusions of this research study, the researcher’s recommendations are the following: This study provides evidence that airplane accidents are indeed survivable and passengers can expect to survive crashes more times than not. In general, human beings crave acceptance by whatever group they choose to belong to, hence, the airlines key objective should be to make the passengers feel that they are really part of the “team.” In addition, as group acceptance is a powerful motivator, any presentation of flight safety should be casted by role models who can influence the public.

Download or read book Factors Related to Passenger and Crew Survivability in Aircraft Accidents in the United States written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two ways to reduce the number of victims in aircraft accidents. The first is to reduce the accident rate itself, and the second is to improve passenger and crew survivability in each accident. This essay focuses on the second factor because the accident rate has stabilized at a ratio of 2 to 3 accidents per one million departures since the 70s for airline operation, and 6 to 8 accident per one million hours for general aviation. Considering that the improvement of accident rates is stabilized, the largest return on safety efforts now may come from the second option. The purpose of this research is to find factors which affect passenger and crew survivability in aircraft accidents, and to suggest possible policies for survivability. I use in this research an accident database provided by National Transportation Safety Board which includes accident data since 1983. In my basic model, the dependent variable is the rate of fatally or seriously injured persons (RFS), and the independent variables are various factors which can affect the RFS, such as occurrence of fire or explosion, the degree of aircraft damage, the flight phase on which an accident occurred, lighting conditions, air temperature, the condition of the surface where the aircraft landed, the FAR Part number under which the aircraft was operated, and a dummy variable for accidents with multiple aircraft. I also add several variables in order to deal with database problems. I use left-and-right censored Tobit with robust standard errors in my calculation, and addressed usual econometric problems when present, such as multicollinearity. In my estimation, I find statistically significant effects of several factors on RFS. Among them, the factors that seem practically important are: explosion/fire on ground, airframe damage (destruction), the flight phases, lighting conditions, weather factors, and the difference in FAR parts. I also estimate the effect of independent variables for each of FAR operation categories and find factors which are significant only in a specific FAR category. For example, an in-flight fire or explosion increases the RFS significantly only in air carrier operations. Also, involvement of multiple airplanes increases the RFS significantly only in agricultural operations. The significance of these factors reflects the characteristics of the categories such as airplane type or operational characteristics. Finally, I discuss the policy implications of these results and points we have to consider in dealing with my results. We can think of several improvements in aircraft equipments and procedures which may prevent the occurrence of these factors or may reduce the negative effect of these factors. These improvements can increase the passenger and crew survivability in aircraft accidents and reduce victims.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an overview report on the status and efficacy of the Federal Aviation Administration's air carrier cabin safety program. Up-to-date information on recurring cabin safety issues and problems was solicited from airplane manufacturers, air carriers, flight and cabin crews, associated organizations and others. The National Transportation Safety Board provided pertinent accident data and safety recommendations developed from aircraft accident investigation. The survey identifies significant recurring cabin safety operational problems including flight attendant training and protection, flammability of cabin interiors, toxicity and smoke generation during post-crash fires, emergency evacuation, survivability. Seventeen recommendations are presented for instituting actions by the FAA's Flight Standards Service, Office of Aviation Medicine and Office of Aviation Safety to resolve recurring cabin safety problems and for continuing long-term improvement of cabin safety.
