It is broadly accepted that the prime causal factors of an aircraft accidents are either: • Operational (such as pilot error, weather and operating procedures) or • Technical (such as design errors, manufacturing errors, maintenance errors and component failures). When certifying a new (or ...
In aviation, over 80 percent of our accidents today are due to human error. We know that these errors are not made on purpose, as many result in a loss of life. Time and again, the person who made the often-costly error is a hard working and conscientious employee who often has no ...
1. Safety First:Maintenance errors are a leading contributor toaviation incidents, highlighting the role of tech support in preventing accidents. 2. Human Factors Matter:Technicians’ emotional and physical states can significantly impact the quality of maintenanceperformed on aircraft. 3. Documentation T...
In 2018, airline written premiums amounted to over 1.3 billion U.S. dollars, an increase from 1.15 billion U.S. dollars in the previous year. Accidents in the aviation industry According to the severity of a crash, an aircraft incident could result in hull loss or fatal accidents. An air...
During these training flights, there were two accidents due to pilot errors. The Chilean Air Force was under great pressure from the press about the quality of these planes, which eventually led to the suspension of any further flights of the Breda. These accidents were caused mostly due to ...
The report summarizes each threat and provides authoritative accounts of threat-related accident/incident investigations to further illustrate the nature of each threat; it also discusses lessons-learned and the impact of accidents/incidents on aircraft structural design and maintenance requirements. The ...
ADS-B is prone to failure due to intentional or unintentional illegal interference, which in turn leads to interruption of flight monitoring, thereby increasing the risk of accidents. Through accurate trajectory prediction, real-time data can be provided when ADS-B fails, which can immediately stren...
8 Dispatch accidents not only cause significant economic loss, more importantly, but also affect the carrier’s combat capability. A collision between two aircraft on the flight deck may disrupt maintenance and support plans for other aircraft, increasing the logistical pressure. And accident could ...
Mechanical errors, like problems with landing gear failures, is among some of the big reasons for airplane accidents. Hence the landin gear systems have strict rules and checks. They have to be tough as they take a lot of strain during takeoff and landing, and they have to work in all ...
Due to the design concept of fail-safe is working with multiple load paths and inspections, it introduced structural redundancies into the airframe, i.e., increased the weight. The inspection requirements also increase the costs of aircraft maintenances and operations. By the way, to increase ...
