Download or read book FAA s Process for Reporting and Investigating Operational Errors written by David A. Dobbs and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of the FAA¿s process for reporting and investigating operational errors. Operational errors (when a controller fails to maintain separation between two aircraft) can be extremely serious incidents that can lead to a catastrophic accident. Ensuring that all events involving a loss of separation are accurately reported, investigated, and addressed is critical to the safe operation of the National Airspace System. The objectives of the review were to: (1) determine whether FAA has adequate policies and procedures to ensure accuracy and consistency in operational error reporting; and (2) review the roles and responsibilities of the Air Traffic Org. and FAA¿s Aviation Safety line of business in reporting and investigating operational errors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The FAA has historically tried to understand and mitigate the incidence of operational errors (OEs), focusing on the critical component of the system-the closest person to the air traffic situation and the last point of prevention-the air traffic controller. With the human element as the foundation of such a complex system, several initiatives by the FAA Office of Evaluations and Investigations Staff include: have focused on human performance within, and interacting with, the larger system. These have included implementing a coordinated system of investigations to identify causal factors, fielding automation to re-create events, developing metrics to categorize OE severity, and sponsoring unique performance enhancement programs.

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.

Download or read book A Human Factors Review of the Operational Error Literature written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews available documents concerning research and initiatives to reduce operational errors (OEs). It provides a brief history of OE investigation and reporting. It describes 154 documents published from 1960-2005 and 222 OE reduction initiatives implemented from 1986 to 2005. Materials are classified by (1) type of study and (2) human and other contributing factors (using the JANUS taxonomy). An analysis of the literature identified several consistent findings. OEs were related to the amount of traffic (measured nationally rather than by position, early time on position, and pilot/controller miscommunications (especially hearback/readback errors). Initiatives included developing national and local QA activities, providing resources to supervisors to help them perform their jobs, and skills training to address controller mental processes. Many ATO initiatives involved controller training, teamwork, and communications. Research and operations seemed to focus on the same 6 areas: (a) training and experience, (b) teamwork, (c) pilot-ATC communications, (d) Human Machine Interaction (HMI) and equipment, e) airspace/surface, and f) traffic. This review concluded that, historically, much (sometimes redundant) research was conducted that generated little new information about why OEs occurred.

Download or read book Validation of the JANUS Technique Causal Factors of Human Error in Operational Errors written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human error has been identified as a dominant risk factor in safety-oriented industries such as air traffic control (ATC). However, little is known about the factors leading to human errors in current ATM systems, in particular those human errors contributing to violation of separation standards. This paper reports on work conducted jointly by Eurocontrol and the FAA as part of Action Plan 12 - Management and Reduction of Human Error in Air Traffic Management (ATM). The goal of this phase of work was to test JANUS, a technique for identifying incident causal factors, and to assess the technique's value in relation to current investigation methods. FAA and Eurocontrol scientists worked with air traffic personnel to analyze several incident cases and to test the technique against several validation criteria. Taken together, the Eurocontrol and FAA results yield converging evidence that the JANUS technique appears to be more sensitive, useful, comprehensive, and practical than the current processes to identify incident causal factors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day in the United States, over two million men, women, and children step onto an aircraft and place their lives in the hands of strangers. As anyone who has ever flown knows, modern flight offers unparalleled advantages in travel and freedom, but it also comes with grave responsibility and risk. For the first time in its history, the Federal Aviation Administration has put together a set of easy-to-understand guidelines and principles that will help pilots of any skill level minimize risk and maximize safety while in the air. The Risk Management Handbook offers full-color diagrams and illustrations to help students and pilots visualize the science of flight, while providing straightforward information on decision-making and the risk-management process.
