80% of aircraft accidents are due to human error. There are careful studies carried out by the aviation industries on the mistakes since they are so fatal. Massive resources are organized to determine what happened when an aircraft goes down and stops it from occurring again. A study has been done through the study and collection of data, the examination of mistakes, and reporting any possible errors to the companies by the flight crew members. Pilots are trained on how to note the faults and make them less severe. Flights are also analyzed for any errors, thanks to the latest aeronautical diagnosis software. Any pilot that you approach can clearly state the ways of risk and error management since the industry has trained them well.
The NASA Engineering and Safety Center has lately carried out the research. We always focus on people’s failures, and this makes us lose the chance to learn what people do right. There is a team that is currently reading on regular performance. Another topic they are learning about is how people are mainly involved in creating safety complex systems. Jon Holbrook, who is acting as the leader of the team carrying out the research, is a cognitive engineers and IT specialists in the Aviation Operations and Crew Systems Branch at NASA’S research center in Langley. There are millions of flights that are always safe, even when others cause accidents. Holbrook states that safe flights are always given very little attention. Marit de Vos compared this state with the one that people try to study about marriage but only end up studying on divorce.
Much is expected from studying success with the advent of new technology. Resilience is one of the main features of a successful system. A resilient system and a resilient person have been compared. A resilient person can familiarize himself with new environments and overcome the difficulties. Similarly, a resilient system can still be valid regardless of the changes and disturbances. Aviation has a lot of changes and disruptions. Some of the challenges that the flight crews encounter at any given time include mechanical delays, problems to do with the weather, and the aircraft having malfunctions at times. The airline crews fail to realize the effects of what they do since they manage these issues regularly. The pilots are mostly the ones who do this each day. The pilots fail to understand that safety is critical and essential in what they do, according to Holbrook.
