Methodology of an Aircraft Accident Response System Assessment

Methodology of an Aircraft Accident Response System Assessment

The paper investigates the ability to learn from an aircraft accident as the opportunities for learning diminish with the decline in the accident rate. A safety compromising case is studied as the processes of aircraft accident intervention and recovery can degrade the ability of an aircraft accident investigation process to enhance aviation safety by revealing accident causation. In the case s...

A Methodology for the Probabilistic Assessment of System Effectiveness as Applied to Aircraft Survivability and Susceptibility

ions would be in the form of metamodels. Zooming technique are applied to those areas identified in the conceptual model as needing a more detailed analysis, or to enhance transparency in cause-and-effect relationships. Full Probabilistic Environment The linked analysis environment created as a result of the conceptual model defines the codes and models to be used, as well as how they are to be...

Aircraft Accident Prevention: Loss-of-Control Analysis

The majority of fatal aircraft accidents are associated with ‘loss-of-control’. Yet the notion of loss-of-control is not well-defined in terms suitable for rigorous control systems analysis. Loss-of-control is generally associated with flight outside of the normal flight envelope, with nonlinear influences, and with an inability of the pilot to control the aircraft. The two primary sources of n...
