    Study Notes

    Aviation Safety Overview

    • Aviation safety refers to the practices, regulations, and procedures put in place to minimize risks and ensure the safety of aircraft, passengers, crew, and ground personnel.

    Aviation Safety vs. Airport Security

    • Aviation safety focuses on preventing accidents and incidents during flight operations.
    • Airport security focuses on protecting against malicious acts, such as terrorism, sabotage, and hijacking.

    Aviation Accident and Incident

    • An accident in aviation is an occurrence resulting in fatalities, serious injuries, or significant aircraft damage.
    • An incident in aviation is an occurrence other than an accident, impacting or potentially impacting the safety of operations.

    Scope of Aviation Safety

    • Aviation safety encompasses all aspects of flight operations, including aircraft design, maintenance, air traffic management, and crew training.

    Components of Aviation Safety

    • NOT a component of aviation safety: airport security (focuses on malicious acts).
    • Components of aviation safety include aircraft design, air traffic management, crew training, and maintenance.

    Purpose of Aviation Safety Regulation

    • The purpose of aviation safety regulation is to establish and enforce standards to ensure safe flight operations.

    Accident vs. Incident

    • The key difference between an accident and an incident in aviation is the severity of the outcome, with accidents resulting in more severe consequences.

    Goal of Aviation Safety

    • Aviation safety aims to achieve zero accidents and incidents, ensuring the safest possible flight operations.

    Relationship between Aviation Safety and Airport Security

    • Aviation safety and airport security are distinct but complementary concepts, with aviation safety focusing on operational safety and airport security focusing on malicious acts.
