Human Error and Commercial Aviation Accidents: An Analysis Using the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to extend previous examinations of aviation accidents to include specific aircrew, environmental, supervisory, and organizational factors associated with two types of commercial aviation (air carrier and commuter/ on-demand) accidents using the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS). BACKGROUND HFACS is a theoretically based tool for inves...

Human error analysis of commercial aviation accidents: application of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification system (HFACS).

BACKGROUND The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) is a general human error framework originally developed and tested within the U.S. military as a tool for investigating and analyzing the human causes of aviation accidents. Based on Reason's (1990) model of latent and active failures, HFACS addresses human error at all levels of the system, including the condition of aircr...

A Longitudinal Analysis of the Causal Factors in Major Aviation Accidents

This paper forms part of a long term analysis to understand the causes of aviation accidents across US air space. The intention is to understand the role that organisational issues, human error, technical failures and environmental factors play in adverse events. This is important because the recommendations that are intended to avoid future mishaps are determined by the causes that are identif...
