Aviation Safety Reporting System

Safety Management Systems and the Efficiency Provided throughout the Industry Putting in the work for an efficient and well-structured aviation safety program is well worth the cost of and risk the aviation industry may face. Risks has its costs, they are increasing with time and the aviation industry is paying for it. “Aviation safety is pretty much a people problem. The machinery we use is really pretty good, the problem is the way we use the airplane—a people problem” (Aviation Safety Programs

humans are accountable for approximately 70-80% of aviation accidents (p.156). A majority of these are caused by the different variables associated with human performance. Psychological factors have a key role in a pilot’s everyday responsibility. Some of these traits include: perception, memory, attitude, judgment and decision making, as well as ego (Rodrigues & Cusick, 2012, p. 158-160). These qualities can have drastic effects in commercial aviation if they are not recognized and adjusted accordingly

Aviation Safety and Quality Assurance Despite having an enviable safety record, the aviation industry is under constant pressure to drive down accident rates. Air accidents damage consumer confidence and inhibit the growth of the industry. When it comes to flying, the word safety is mentioned constantly. Shortage of qualified professionals, ageing of aircraft’s fleet and environmental concerns are some of the challenges faced by today’s aviation. The primary

(Starke, Jason, 2012). ICAO states that operator implements of safety management system as a minimum: a. Identifies safety hazards b. Ensures that remedial action necessary to maintain an acceptable level of safety is implemented c. Provides for continues monitoring and regular assessment of the safety level achieved d. Aims to make continuous improvement in the overall level of safety ICAO standards state that General Aviation (GA) operators must establish and maintain an SMS “appropriate to the

The past practice of investigating all accidents and incidents (safety occurrences) is being replaced with a more systematic and selective process. As aircraft technology and systems development becomes more advanced, air travel perceived as safer and as such, the role of investigating agencies has evolved. A number of air safety investigation agencies have policies to help determine their level of response to occurrences by considering a range of factors such as the severity of the event, the category

Federal Aviation Administration has to be credited in improving safety in a multitude of ways. The best way to do that is transform safety program from being retroactive to proactive. One of the well-received programs that FAA has created is the Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP). This program works to the benefit of every airman, as well of most aviation organizations. This program emphasizes why things happen and what can be done to correct it. Parts 121 & 145 environments of the aviation industry

Improving Patient Safety Through a Nursing Lens The purpose of this academic paper is to explore how the concept of communication within the healthcare setting challenges nurses from ensuring patient safety. Using evidence-based literature, this paper will discuss concerns related to patient safety and communication within the nursing world, two interventions that are currently being practiced in order to address these concerns, and one other unique intervention which can adequately elucidate these

General Aviation Safety and Security Practices Capt. ELhadi Y. Nour AM 645 March /20/2010 SUMMARY Over the past 40 years, safety in the general aviation arena has greatly improved. The reasons are many and include improved aircraft reliability, pilot training enhancements, and better weather reporting capabilities. One often overlooked contributor to this safety record is the contribution made on the ground by general aviation airport operators, as well as those fixed
