The aviation accident investigations concentrate on improving safety. The reviews of the scientific and technical developments that have remained the driving force for the enhancing safety have gone beyond the scale of the present undertaking. Earlier legislations concentrated on aircraft impact on the ground and not safety on board. The first air regulation took place on 23 April 1784 (Bibel 23).

Human errors have been present in the production, maintenance and operation of aviation hardware ranging through aircraft, airports and air traffic control facilities and equipment. Human operational errors can come about when workloads exceed work ability, e.g., in stressful situations. In aviation, working capacity primarily…

automobile accident, while the same person has a 1 in 7,178 chance of dying in an aircraft accident. This means a person is about 73 times more likely to be killed on the road than in the air (Locsin, 2008). The unavoidable problem of perception in aviation is that, unlike auto accidents, air disasters result in a far greater loss of life and economic cost in a single incident. While an accident on the road may make the local evening news, major aircraft accidents will likely be international…

UNWILLINGNESS TO WORK As passengers onboard an airplane are dependent on the pilot to fly them to their destinations, so are…

Recalling the statistics from Boeing, civil aviation has a success rate of about 99% (Statistical Summary, 2014). For this reason, it is easy to fall into the trap of being unprepared in the event that the unthinkable happens, and there is a major accident involving the organization’s aircraft. If the accident takes place in the United States, the NTSB will deploy a “Go Team” to begin investigating the accident. If the accident takes place in another country, the NTSB will most likely be…
