Download or read book Executive Summaries of the Aviation Accident Study written by and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1985, RAND's Institute for Civil Justice undertook a detailed study of aviation accident litigation in the United States. This report summarizes the resulting four detailed study reports. It describes the characteristics of the decedents and the litigation, and provides data on compensation paid, litigation costs, and economic losses suffered. The report compares the economic losses and transactions costs with the amount of compensation paid. The findings indicate that airlines and other defendants compensated victims' survivors for less than half of their average economic loss. The findings also indicate that aviation accident litigation has higher transactions costs than tort litigation in general, but a lower ratio of transactions costs to total expenditures.

Book excerpt: "In 1985, RAND's Institute for Civil Justice undertook a detailed study of aviation accident litigation in the United States. The study covered the general character of aviation accident litigation; reviewed the underlying principles and procedures used to compute the economic loss associated with individual decedents; described the characteristics of the decedents and compared the compensation paid to their survivors with the levels of economic loss they suffered; and analyzed the legal and economic determinants of the litigation decisions that plaintiffs and defendants faced. This Note contains the forms used to compile the data used in the various analyses.

Download or read book Aviation Safety and Pilot Control written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-03-28 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adverse aircraft-pilot coupling (APC) events include a broad set of undesirable and sometimes hazardous phenomena that originate in anomalous interactions between pilots and aircraft. As civil and military aircraft technologies advance, interactions between pilots and aircraft are becoming more complex. Recent accidents and other incidents have been attributed to adverse APC in military aircraft. In addition, APC has been implicated in some civilian incidents. This book evaluates the current state of knowledge about adverse APC and processes that may be used to eliminate it from military and commercial aircraft. It was written for technical, government, and administrative decisionmakers and their technical and administrative support staffs; key technical managers in the aircraft manufacturing and operational industries; stability and control engineers; aircraft flight control system designers; research specialists in flight control, flying qualities, human factors; and technically knowledgeable lay readers.
