Study Notes
Aviation Ground Operations Accidents/Incidents
- Aviation is a complex interconnected system, including flight, ATC, maintenance, and ground operations.
- Existing safety research neglects ground operations risks.
- This study analysed 87 accident and incident reports (2000-2020) using the Human Factors Dirty Dozen (HFDD) model and Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS).
- Key findings: lack of situational awareness and non-compliance are major causal factors.
- Three crucial operational actions: pushback/towing, arrival/departure, and weight/balance, had significant accidents/incidents.
- Recommendations for future research and corrective industry actions are presented.
Human Error in Aviation
- Human error is the primary cause of aviation accidents and incidents (up to 80% depending on source).
- Systems-level analysis of human error preconditions is critical for aviation safety.
- Several approaches exist for analysing human error, including the HFDD, tracing cognitive errors in situations like ATC, and a more systemic approach (HFACS).
Methodology
- A three-stage analysis (content analysis) was applied to the reports.
- Stage 1: The HFDD model was used to identify initial preconditions.
- Stage 2: The HFACS- a more encompassing framework - followed.
- Stage 3: Systematic thematic analysis was used for further identification of operational areas and patterns.
- Coding and testing for intercoder reliability were applied.
Operational Areas & Results
- Analysis focused on operational areas where ground operations contributed to accidents/incidents:
- Aircraft weight, pushback, arrival, departure, and ramp services.
- Major contributing factors were identified, including:
- Lack of situational awareness, communication and resource issues.
- Unsafe operational procedures.
- Highlighted operational areas are aircraft weight, pushback, and arrival/ departure processes.
Findings & Discussion
- The HFACS analysis emphasized 'organizational influences' including processes, supervision, and preconditions for unsafe acts as major issues, in addition to human error.
- Recurring themes included lack of awareness, lack of communication, and insufficient resources across different ground operation tasks.
- Human error factors and preconditions were identified.
- Recommendations highlight operational area improvements, training needs, and potential improvements in safety processes.
- The analysis suggests that the aviation safety model may require expansion to incorporate interdependencies and quantitative elements between subsystems (ground / flight / etc).
