Book excerpt: "The method and results of a study using rotary wing crash data from the Army Aviation Mishap database are reported. The study was conducted to support the Full Spectrum Crashworthiness initiative with the objective of providing a current basis for revising the crashworthiness design criteria. For this study, crashes were divided into two types: directly to terrain, and those following an inflight obstacle strike. Thirty percent of the crashes studied were post-obstacle crashes and this fraction appears to be higher for the newer generation aircraft. The two crash types differ in both kinematics and outcomes. The post-obstacle crashes were characterized by higher vertical velocities, more vertical impact angles, and a broader distribution of attitude angles. The post-obstacle crashes analyzed were less survivable and more injurious. Data on the impact surface revealed that 16 percent of all crashes occurred onto prepared surfaces, whereas 66 percent occurred onto sod. Crashworthiness was evaluated by estimating the velocity above which all aircraft occupants experienced severe injury. A recommendation is made to reconsider crashworthiness strategies that are functional only for aircraft impacting vertically and close to the normal flight attitude."--Report documentation page.

Download or read book A System Theoretic Safety Analysis of U S Coast Guard Aviation Mishap Involving CG 6505 written by Jon Patrick Hickey and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a 22-month period, between 2008 and 2010, the U.S. Coast Guard experienced seven Class-A aviation mishaps resulting in the loss of 14 Coast Guard aviators and seven Coast Guard aircraft. This represents the highest Class-A aviation mishap rate the Coast Guard has experienced in 30 years. Following each Class-A mishap, the Coast Guard conducted Mishap Analysis Boards (MAB) in accordance with Coast Guard aviation policy. A MAB involves a detailed investigation and report on the causal and contributing factors of a specific mishap and is conducted in accordance with the Department of Defense Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (DOD HFACS) which is based on the 'Swiss Cheese' accident causal analysis model. Individual MAB results did not identify common causal or contributing factors that may be causing systemic failures within the aviation safety system. Subsequently, the Coast Guard completed a more system-focused safety analysis known as the Aviation Safety Assessment Action Plan (ASAAP) comprised of five components: 1) Operational Hazard Analysis; 2) Aviation Safety Survey; 3) Aviation Leadership Improvement Study; 4) Independent Data Analysis Study; and 5) Industry Benchmarking Study. ASAAP recently concluded "complacency in the cockpit and chain of command as the leading environmental factor in the rash of serious aviation mishaps." Although the ASAAP study examined Coast Guard aviation more holistically than individual MABs, it did not apply systems theory and systems engineering approaches. This thesis applies Dr. Leveson's Systems Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) model to identify, evaluate, eliminate, and control system hazards through analysis, design, and management procedures, in order to more fully examine the Coast Guard's aviation system for potential systemic sources of safety hazards. The case study used in this thesis is the September 2008 mishap, involving a Coast Guard helicopter (CG-6505) conducting hoist training with a Coast Guard small boat, which resulted in the loss of the helicopter and its four-person crew. The analysis identified enhancements to Coast Guard aviation system controls that were not expressly identified as part of the MAB and ASAAP study. These findings will complement the Coast Guard's MAB and ASAAP results to better understand and eliminate systemic Coast Guard aviation safety hazards with the aim of preventing future mishaps. Finally, by comparing the results of the STAMP analysis and the MAB, this thesis attempts to answer the question, 'is the STAMP model better than the 'Swiss Cheese' model in identifying causes to the accidents?'

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 Human Error Aircraft Accident Analysis written by Facundo Conforti and published by Biblioteca Aeronáutica . This book was released on with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human error is one of the primary causal factors in aviation accidents. This variable is present across all sectors involved in flight operations, encompassing not only flight crew and operational personnel but also ground staff, maintenance crews, administrative personnel, and anyone else who might be engaged in flight activities. Humans make errors continuously, both in personal and professional realms. While it is impossible to eradicate errors entirely, as making mistakes is inherent to human nature, it is feasible to implement corrective actions to mitigate their effects and reduce the error margin that could potentially lead to an accident. In this work, we will meticulously examine numerous aviation accidents where human error has been the triggering factor leading to catastrophe. A detailed analysis of each accident will be conducted based on official reports from various aviation accident investigation authorities.
