For this study, Safety Board air safety investigators (ASI) collected data from 72 GA accidents that occurred between August 2003 and April 2004. While this pattern is thought to be a male characteristic, women are equally susceptible. In my view, this analysis was flawed since it tended to accept the NTSB primary and causal accident factors as the root cause of the accident.

A freshly released NTSB study (see the April and May, 2010, issues of Aviation Safety) alleges glass cockpits in general aviation airplanes have not led to expected safety improvements. &uV`3TeDzSij=m\9U8^ OgP _e\XqjV5Qt:XS "TVvv Commendably, it has succeeded-at least partly-in expanding the market by building products with appeal to a wider audience. However, there are times when quick thinking may lead to trouble. "There was no traffic, and I was in a hurrynobody was comingconditions were perfectyou know these roads were really designed for traveling at 70 miles an hour." Occasionally, such lapses in judgment result in an accident, but even then we are likely to find extenuating circumstances that relieve us of responsibility, such as, "That guy just came out of nowhere," or, "There was a patch of ice on the road," or, "He wasn't using his turn signals. Rigorously evaluating the situation, including its risks, is vital to ensuring a safe work environment.

Its no great secret that nearly all new-production aircraft now have glass cockpits and advanced devices such as weather data link. The art and science of risk management is now a fundamental concept that permeates virtually all industrial processes from nuclear power plant management to-you guessed it-aviation safety.

Its no great secret that nearly all new-production aircraft now have glass cockpits and advanced devices such as weather data link. On the other side of the fence are elements that want to change the status quo and not just with better training. When we become overconfident or complacent, our attitude subtly shifts and our margin of safety begins to erode.

I personally created and often taught the risk management segment. The goal of this National Transportation Safety Board study was to better understand the risk factors associated with accidents that occur in weather conditions characterized by IMC or poor visibility ("weather-related accidents"). Hazardous Attitudes - AOPA As I said earlier, it would be simple but inaccurate to blame FAA totally for deficiencies in TAA training. The FAA (before my watch) spent considerable time, effort, and money trying to analyze accident causality with a human factors approach. Its maneuver-based, top-down (i.e., spoon-fed by the instructor) and has as its major goal getting a student through the knowledge and practical tests.Higher-order pilot skills, such as risk management, single-pilot resource management and automation management are either poorly considered or not addressed at all. 943 0 obj 0000001529 00000 n It is my view that, fundamentally, most general aviation fatal accidents are risk-management accidents.

Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration provided information about pilots' practical and written test results and their previous accident/ incident involvement. TAA Training - Aviation Safety With ever-evolving technology, it is inevitable that human factors will continue to cause accidents. In my view, this analysis was flawed since it tended to accept the NTSB primary and causal accident factors as the root cause of the accident. Yet, the knowledge test questions have only been partly updated to reflect the new doctrine and FAA has scarcely paid any attention to wholesale curriculum redesign, a change that would require active industry support. Background: Attitudes influence how people make decisions.
