maintenance is crucial for aviation safety, tracing the effect that human error in maintenance operations has on accidents and incidents remains a difficult task. According to a UK Civil Aviation Authority study (2003), maintenance and inspection deficiencies ranked fourth (12%) as a factor in aviation accidents overall. Other studies have described that as technology has improved, aviation accidents attributed to mechanical failures alone have decreased, yet those attributed to human error have not shown

Human Factors Analysis and Classification System Abstract As aircrafts become more reliable over the years, humans have progressively become more of a causal factor in aviation accidents. Thus, being able to analyze an accident from a human factor perspective is of paramount importance. However, a proper framework of accident analysis is necessary to address the complex and often nebulous nature of human error. The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System Maintenance

Stress There are many types of stress. Typically in the aviation environment there are two distinct types - acute and chronic. Acute stress arises from real-time demands placed on our senses, mental processing and physical body; such as dealing with an emergency, or working under time pressure with inadequate resources. Chronic stress is accumulated and results from long-term demands placed on the physiology by life’s demands, such as family relations, finances, illness, bereavement, divorce, or

Human Error in AviationMatthew R. GriffithEmbry-Riddle Aeronautics university AbstractIt is unreasonable to assume that any person could operate continuously without ever making a mistake. Thus, human error is a very real and inevitable problem in the aviation industry. Unfortunately, for those involved, it is usually met with disastrous results. One momentary lapse of judgment might very well result in a large numbers of fatalities, as well as, hundreds of millions of dollars in damages.

Avoidance System and the Human Element Terry D. Gilfillan Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract This paper describes the history of the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). It will discuss the types or categories of and the operation of the system of TCAS, to include the components involved, how the system interacts with other aircraft that are equipped with TCAS, and the related warnings and/or notifications of the system. Also discussed is the human element related to the

look at and make clear what establishes a “team” in CRM. Basically, everyone who participates in moving a flight from A to B is a member of the team, which entails management, ground services, and Air Traffic Control (ATC). But when we are talking aviation, the key members of a team are on board the aircraft, those who operate the controls
