In the complex aeronautical environment, the efforts in terms of operational safety involve the adoption of proactive and reactive measures. The process of investigation begins right after the occurrence of the aeronautical accident, through the initial action. Thus, it is in the crisis scenario, that the person responsible for the initial action makes decisions and gathers the necessary inform...

In the early years of powered flight, the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics in the United States produced three reports describing a “method of analysis of aircraft accidents.” The first report was published in 1928; the second, which was a revision of the first, was published in 1930; and the third, which was a revision and update of the second, was published in 1936. This paper descr...

Accident reports written by oocial bodies, such as the Air Accident Investigation Branch of the United Kingdom's Department of Transport, are produced in response to all major civil aircraft accidents or incidents. There are many statutory, legal and commercial implications that rest on the analysis, conclusions and recommendations that these reports contain. Air accident reports usually follow...

An investigation was performed to study the potential for radio frequency (RF) power radiated from Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) to create an arcing/sparking event within the fuel tank of a large transport aircraft. This paper describes the experimental methods used for measuring RF coupling to the fuel tank and Fuel Quantity Indication System (FQIS) wiring from PED sources located in the ...

Background: The number of aircraft-assisted suicides can only be considered a rough estimate because it is difficult and, at times, impossible to identify all cases suicide. Methods: Four recent reports accidents occurring in 1997 Indonesia, 1999 Massachusetts the United States, 2013 Namibia, and 2015 France related commercial were analyzed. This analysis relied on data extracted from accident ...

The Fibera 2000A Fiber Optic Monitoring System is a system that identifies defects occurred in a structure that can not be easily detected from its surface. The integrity of structures such as building, nuclear reactor, power plant, rapid transit system, oil pipe, aircraft, and bridge, etc. that are vitally important to our lives, can be closely monitored and issue warnings if a defect is occur...
