Download or read book A Human Error Approach to Aviation Accident Analysis written by Douglas A. Wiegmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human error is implicated in nearly all aviation accidents, yet most investigation and prevention programs are not designed around any theoretical framework of human error. Appropriate for all levels of expertise, the book provides the knowledge and tools required to conduct a human error analysis of accidents, regardless of operational setting (i.e. military, commercial, or general aviation). The book contains a complete description of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), which incorporates James Reason's model of latent and active failures as a foundation. Widely disseminated among military and civilian organizations, HFACS encompasses all aspects of human error, including the conditions of operators and elements of supervisory and organizational failure. It attracts a very broad readership. Specifically, the book serves as the main textbook for a course in aviation accident investigation taught by one of the authors at the University of Illinois. This book will also be used in courses designed for military safety officers and flight surgeons in the U.S. Navy, Army and the Canadian Defense Force, who currently utilize the HFACS system during aviation accident investigations. Additionally, the book has been incorporated into the popular workshop on accident analysis and prevention provided by the authors at several professional conferences world-wide. The book is also targeted for students attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University which has satellite campuses throughout the world and offers a course in human factors accident investigation for many of its majors. In addition, the book will be incorporated into courses offered by Transportation Safety International and the Southern California Safety Institute. Finally, this book serves as an excellent reference guide for many safety professionals and investigators already in the field.

Book excerpt: The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) is a theoretically based tool for investigating and analyzing human error associated with accidents and incidents. Previous research has shown that HFACS can be reliably used to identify general trends in the human factors associated with military and general aviation accidents. The aim of this study was to extend previous examinations of aviation accidents to include specific aircrew, environmental, supervisory, and organizational factors associated with 14 CFR Part 121 (Air Carrier) and 14 CFR Part 135 (Commuter) accidents using HFACS. The majority of causal factors were attributed to the aircrew and the environment, with decidedly fewer associated with supervisory and organizational causes. Comparisons were made between HFACS categories and traditional situational variables such as weather, lighting, and geographic region. Recommendations were made based on the HFACS findings presented.

Download or read book A Human Factors Analysis of Operational Errors in ATC The TCAS Case Study written by José Luis Garcia-Chico and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research evaluated controller's operational errors (OEs) in the Air Traffic Control environment. It consisted of two exploratory studies. The first one was a classification of errors and contextual factors. The second one was an in-depth look at OEs that co-occurred with a Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) Resolution Advisory (RA). The results provided a systematic characterization of OEs, with potential use to prioritize future research and interventions. Patterns of error in centers and terminal airspace were different. The absence of data controllers and developmental controllers were associated with higher proximity between aircraft in the incident, although the results were not conclusive. The results were not sufficient to establish any causal influence of RAs on OEs. The study found evidence of deficient pilot-controller communications during RA events increasing the likelihood of receiving vertical clearances in opposite direction to the RA. The findings suggested the need for down linking RA information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concurrent Engineering is based on the concept that different phases of a product life cycle should be conducted concurrently and initiated as early as possible within the Product Creation Process (PCP). Its main goal is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the PCP and reduce errors in the later stages, and to incorporate considerations for the full lifecycle, through-life operations, and environmental issues of the product. It has become the substantive basic methodology in many industries, and the initial basic concepts have matured and become the foundation of many new ideas, methodologies, initiatives, approaches and tools. This book presents the proceedings of the 24th ISPE Inc. International Conference on Transdisciplinary (formerly: Concurrent) Engineering (TE 2017), held in Singapore, in July 2017. The 120 peer-reviewed papers in the book are divided into 16 sections: air transport and traffic operations and management; risk-aware supply chain intelligence; product innovation and marketing management; human factors in design; human engineering; design methods and tools; decision supporting tools and methods; concurrent engineering; knowledge-based engineering; collaborative engineering; engineering for sustainability; service design; digital manufacturing; design automation; artificial intelligence and data analytics; smart systems and the Internet of Things. The book provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in transdisciplinary concurrent engineering research and applications, and will be of interest to researchers, design practitioners and educators working in the field.

Download or read book Analyzing Vehicle Operator Deviations written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Runway incursions (RIs) are one of the top safety issues for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Considerable effort has gone into understanding how pilot deviations and air traffic control (ATC) operational errors contribute to RIs. In contrast, little is known about human factors issues related to vehicle operator deviations (VODs). VODs occur when a vehicle enters the airport movement area without ATC approval. We developed a VOD prediction model to help understand the human factors causes associated with different types of VODs. We then examined the validity of the model, using logistic regression and directed graphical modeling. Although the results of our analyses provided partial support for our prediction model, much of the data that we needed was missing due to incomplete reporting of the human factors associated with a given VOD. To aid in the development of a more comprehensive VOD reporting process, we adapted a human factors taxonomy used in air traffic control (JANUS-ATC) to ground operations (JANUS-GRO). JANUS-GRO was then used to demonstrate how VOD reporting could be improved.

Download or read book A Human Error Classification System for Small Air Cargo Operators written by Douglas J. Paluszak and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aviation industry is a highly complex and dynamic domain. Over all, commercial flight crews consistently operate at a very high level of reliability and safety. Yet, accident records show there is a disparity between the flight crews that operate under Title 14, Part 121 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and those that operate under Part 135 of that same code. In their daily operations, the performance of both groups are shaped by the complexity of this environment, their interactions with the system and their own personal, as well as team skill sets. However, the flight crews of part 135 operators consistently make more errors, ranging from procedural, tactical and regulatory. These factors have been studied from a broad theoretical framework using many different perspectives, but a conclusive explanation for the disparity in the accident rates between the part 121 and 135 operators remains elusive. One common methodology of error classification is analyzing a database of accident and incident information to identify the errors that pilots make in specific operational areas within the aviation system. In the last decade, researchers have developed a number of error classification schemes, and the reports of their findings are abundant in the literature describing the taxonomy of human errors in the aviation system. However, there is little research that correlates the flight training methodology that is designed to mitigate these errors, to the error classification schemes commercial air carriers currently use. Furthermore, there is no research that focuses on the classification errors made by pilots or flight crews that operate under the part 135 regulations. This thesis examines some of the most influential literature that has shaped the development of systems designed to analyze and encode aviation accidents and incidents, as well as systems to classify human error in the aviation system. This thesis examines the structure and elements necessary to develop an effective human error classification system, the methodology used to design classification systems in general, as well as the taxonomy used to develop human error classification systems. This thesis reviews the methodology used in the current aviation human error classification systems. Additionally, it proposes a preliminary model for a system designed to classify pilot and flight crew error that occurs during the operation of commercial aircraft under part 135 regulations, as well as suggests corrective actions to mitigate these errors. This system is based on the development of a theoretical concept for identifying, analyzing, encoding, and classifying flight crew error. It lists corrective actions in a terminology that can be used to develop flight-training activities and scenarios that will reduce the number of errors pilots and flight crews make during part 135 regulated flight operations. This thesis reports the analysis of trials, in which part 135 flight instructors and or check airman, as well as flight instructors that are licensed and regulated under part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations classified five randomly selected reports from the Aviation Safety Reporting System. A comparison of the results of the classifications made by part 91 instructors, verses the part 135 instructors and or check airman will be discussed. Finally, based on the finding of the analysis of these trials, recommendations for improvements in the design and implementation of future error classification systems designed to mitigate the pilot errors made during commercial flight operations are discussed.

Download or read book Human Factors Impacts in Air Traffic Management written by Mark Rodgers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In research and application of Human Factors in Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems design, development and operation, there remains a lack of clarity regarding the range and integration of activities associated with the need for greater attention to issues such as human error, interface design and teamwork, especially in systems with increased levels of automation. This book seeks to redress this situation by presenting case studies of human factors applications in which there is demonstrable success in terms of improvement in operational systems. Individual examples are used to outline how each human factors study evolved, what it entailed, how it was resourced and how the results contributed to operational performance. Case studies include training methods, human error, team resource management, situation assessment, terminal automation replacement systems, collaborative decision-making to improve the effectiveness of traffic-flow management and the role of human factors in ATM.

Download or read book Investigating Human Error written by Barry Strauch and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the author applies contemporary error theory to the needs of investigators and of anyone attempting to understand why someone made a critical error, how that error led to an incident or accident, and how to prevent such errors in the future. Students and investigators of human error will gain an appreciation of the literature on error, with numerous references to both scientific research and investigative reports in a wide variety of applications, from airplane accidents, to bus accidents, to bonfire disasters. Based on the author's extensive experience as an accident investigator and instructor of both aircraft accident investigation techniques and human factors psychology, it reviews recent human factors literature, summarizes major transportation accidents, and shows how to investigate the types of errors that typically occur in high risk industries. It presents a model of human error causation influenced largely by James Reason and Neville Moray, and relates it to error investigations with step-by-step guidelines for data collection and analysis that investigators can readily apply as needed. This second edition of Investigating Human Error has been brought up to date throughout, with pertinent recent accidents and safety literature integrated. It features new material on fatigue, distraction (eg mobile phone and texting) and medication use. It also now explores the topics of corporate culture, safety culture and safety management systems. Additionally the second edition considers the effects of the reduction in the number of major accidents on investigation quality, the consequences of social changes on transportation safety (such as drinking and driving, cell phone use, etc), the contemporary role of accident investigation, and the effects of the prosecution of those involved in accidents.

Download or read book Understanding the Human Factors Associated with Visual Flight Rules Flight Into Instrumental Meteorological Conditions written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual Flight Rules (VFR) into Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) accidents are a major concern in the aviation industry. More than 70% of the fatal weather-related accidents involved General Aviation (GA) pilots operating under visual flight rules (VFR) that continued into IMC. The purpose of this study was to pair GA accident causal factors that had been classified with the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) categories and traditional demographic data in an effort to present a more complete picture of VFR flight into IMC accidents. To accomplish this, GA accidents associated with VFR flight into IMC were examined to determine if there were any causal factors that set these accidents apart from the rest of GA (RoGA) accidents. GA accident data (14 CFR Part 91) from 1990-2004 were analyzed. The dataset was divided into accidents that had VFR into IMC (VFR-IMC; N = 609) cited as a cause or factor versus the rest of the GA accidents (RoGA; N = 18, 528). Analyses were performed examining the human error associated with these accidents.
