Human Error in Flight Safety

Pilot error from issues like alcoholic pilots, language barriers, and violations of rules and regulations contributed to many flight safety incidents. Air traffic control errors also caused mid-air collisions due to mixing instrument and visual flight rules aircraft. Maintenance errors led to issues with crew coordination and emergency procedures. Overall, human factors played a significant role in reducing flight safety through errors in piloting, air traffic control, and aircraft maintenance.

ALCOHOLIC PILOTS

• No person may act or attempt to act as a


crewmember of a civil aircraft
 Within 8 hours after the consumption of any

CREW COORDINATION

• Standard operating procedure and checklist

• Engines weren't shut down

• Preventing the rescue personnel


• Unfamiliarity of the emergency exits

• 301 people aboard had perished

RUNWAY INCRUSSION

“Any occurrence at an airport (with an


operating control tower) involving an aircraft,
vehicle, person, or object on the ground that
creates a collision hazard or results in a loss of
separation with an aircraft taking off, intending
to take off, landing, or intending to land.”

MID-AIR COLLISION

• Two aircraft come in contact with one


another in flight
• Both were able to be flown to a safe
landing
• High altitudes, it is on an IFR (instrument
flight rules) flight plan
• Controlled by air traffic controllers

15
MID-AIR COLLISION

• They are mixed in with VFR (visual flight


rules)
• Responsible for their own separation from
other aircraft
• Most mid-air collisions occur near an
airport during a clear day

MID-AIR COLLISION

• Human error has again showed

• A large percentage of blame could be


spread to the air traffic controllers
• The Swiss are known for their systematic
work ethic and precision of their craft
