Advantages Of Proactive Approach To Aviation

The airline industry is one of the largest global industries in the world. Airline companies in the airline industry have gone through challenging obstacles in the past decade. Many changes have occurred within the industry and increased regulations have driven up cost for the industry. The attacks on 9/11 left the industry in shock when planes were used in terrorist attacks in the United States. These attacks changed the mentality of the industry and shifted the focus towards safety. Safety was also a major concern in the industry with the breakout of SARS in 2003 and the H1N1 flu in 2009. The airlines had to ensure that public health and safety of the travelers were

Technological developments have both created new opportunities as well as threats for the aviation industry.

The day of 9/11 sparked the attention of the aviation industry, citing that it will never be the same again. Different sectors

Accident investigation and analysis will be assessed in the project as it relates to safety in order to highlight the strategies applied by the airlines in determining the causes of incidents and preventing them in the future.

The terrorist attacks on September 11 2001 will have a permanent affect on the global culture. Nearly every decision, process, design in the aviation community will be affected from these attacks. The masterminds behind these attaches could not have envisioned how much the world would change from these acts.

1. Risk management plan summarizes risk management approach, list methodologies and processes, defines everyone’s role – definition of risk management plan. NASA was using for the most part qualitative risk assessment process. Launch of the shuttle was allowed as long as aggregate risk remained acceptable. Quantitive method was applied for risk assessment because if the complex procedures (like data gathering) were in place NASA would be buried with paperwork.

Airport safety is one of the Federal Aviation Administration's biggest concerns. They are tasked with tracking over 10,400,000 commercial flights every year, not including military and non-commercial flights (Canavan). Collisions and crashes are the two major causes of injuries and death. Air travel accidents date all of the way back to 1908 (Old). Orville Wright, one of the original inventors of the airplane, was flying a demonstration for the military when a propeller suddenly was ripped off of the airplane. The passenger, Lieutenant Selfridge was killed when the plane hit the ground (Old). The Federal Aviation Administration has come a long way since the 1960’s to improve safety (Mission). They have implemented various systems such as the United States program, NextGen Program, and the Air Transportation

The 2012 crash of Convair N153JR is a text book example of how human error and the absence of crew resource management can result in the unnecessary loss of life. This accident involves a transport company named Fresh Air Inc. that transported cargo between the Caribbean islands using vintage 1953 Convair aircraft. The co-owner of the company, who was also the primary pilot, established and nurtured an environment of relaxed rules and desultory aviation operations. The primary pilot consistently flew the Convair aircraft outside its operational parameters by disabling key aircraft systems needed for safe operations. Additionally, the captain filled Fresh Air with incompetent personnel that could not maintain safe and airworthy operations. To further exacerbate an already dangerous situation, assigned Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspectors were derelict in their duties and performed only superficial inspections on the company. Numerous and serious violations were overlooked by the inspectors and this removed the last remaining barrier for accident prevention. The captain’s insouciant approach to flying and company operations coupled with inept FAA oversight directly led to the crash of Convair N153JR.

The aviation industry of any nation acts as a contributor to its economic growth, helps in globalisation and creating an international image. It is the best in terms of the fastest, safest and convenient mode of travel. Even though it is an expensive one, it is expanding its markets across the middle-class who are ready to spent money on leisure trips. Thus it is truly stated that aviation forms a vital core infrastructure area without which a country economy is handicapped.

The airline industry is interpreted as being very unstable due to the immediate reaction to tragedies. The airline industry was affected following the September 11th tragedy and it affected other industries indirectly. The airline industry plays a key role in

When it comes to flying, the word safety is mentioned constantly. Shortage of qualified professionals,

The face of aviation would have to change in order to sustain the current situation, and the fact that the economy downturn has already started to show it’s effects, the industry has to evolve and remain relevant to suit the needs of people, and in time to come I believe that aviation would be forced to become cheaper in order to recover from the current economic crisis.

Although a lot of accidents of flight most affect with the human factors. But another big factor I think is the hazardous weather situations. If these two things combine together it’s will have the high possibility to happen an accident. Like the biggest aviation accident in 1977 years

It has been widely known that human factor is the major cause of accident in aviation industry. Based on statistics human error is account for 80% for causing fatal accident (Hawkins, 1979). There are some factors that caused human error such as stress, fatigue, lack of situational awareness, etc. In addition, 70% of incident is caused by poor communication or coordination between air crew. According to National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB, 1994) analyses, 25 out of 37 accidents are resulted from decision errors. However, in 1999 Klinect et al observed the behaviour of the crews during normal flight and find out that decision error is least likely to occur. Even the probability is around 6% Klinect conclude that compared to

If we can find the answers to these questions, then I believe it is possible to limit and slow down the number of human errors in aviation, thusly slowing the number of accidents and lives lost due to human performance.
