Meeting 1: Human Factors Issues in Aircraft Maintenance and Inspection Proceedings of the First Meeting on Human Factors Issues in Aircraft Maintenance and Inspection
نویسنده
چکیده
In June of this year, the FAA sponsored a meeting of representatives of the aviation industry to review problems associated with aging aircraft. While much of this meeting addressed issues of hardware, metal fatigue, and corrosion, there was a discussion of human factors in maintenance. Today's meeting reflects a growing interest in human factors and its potential contribution to continuing aviation safety.

Research and development related to human factors in aviation has traditionally focused on the pilot and the cockpit. However, recent reports have attributed 18% of all accidents to maintenance factors. The aircraft inspection/maintenance system is a complex one with many interrelated human and machine components. The linchpin of the system is however, the human. Since it is difficult to elimin...

متن کاملA Framework for the Design of the Aircraft Inspection Information Environment
From the extensive series of task analyses performed during site visits to aircraft inspection operations (Shepherd, et al., 1991) it became clear that supplying the inspector with appropriate information was a key contribution to inspector reliability. Information reaches the inspector through a variety of pathways, such as documentation, training and job aids which are subject to separate stu...
