SAFETY CULTURE MODEL IN MILITARY AVIATION ORGANISATION

Sickle cell anemia trait in the military aircrew population: a report from the Military Aviation Safety Subcommittee of the Aviation Safety Committee, AsMA.

The question of whether sickle cell trait (SCT) is potentially dangerous to military aircrew personnel who have it and, consequently, whether such individuals should be allowed to fly in military aircraft is a very emotional issue. This article traces the evolution of how the U.S. military has dealt with the problem, and the present status of individuals with SCT in the U.S. military aviation c...

Software Safety in Aviation

Safety and security are important issues for modern systems that interact with and often control the environment. Therefore both safety and security must be considered for the system operations in normal as well as in abnormal conditions. Traditionally in aviation, only safety was considered a central factor and approaches were developed to take a broader view of potential accident causes than ...

Safety culture maturity model

Military Innovation and Military Culture

This article examines the significance of culture as a moderator of innovation, and criticizes monolithic accounts of military resistance to innovation. It then describes a dimension of military culture focused on the concept of the ideal combatant, and how that concept relates to innovation. Military culture can be improved by: (1) engineering the competitive context for innovation, and (2) cr...

Accident scenarios for an integrated aviation safety model

In support of the Systems Approach to Safety Oversight (SASO) program, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has initiated research for the development of an integrated safety model. The proposed model architecture introduces a hybrid causal model of Event Sequence Diagrams, Fault Trees and Bayesian Belief Nets. The objective of this study conducted by NLR is the development of generic a...
