Third Party Airport Crash Risk Model For Non-Towered Airports, Christian Salmon

Aviation / Aeronautics / Aerospace International Research Conference

This research leverages the objective accident data record towards an individual and societal 3^rd party “external” airport risk model for aircraft operations that crash while operating at non-towered airports.

Small aircraft, specifically Part 91, operating at non-towered airports have a crash rate estimated at 10-fold that of commercial operations. Given the nature of the typically non-towered airport, situated in close physical proximity with residential structures, this exposes residents to substantive risk of injury and death due to aircraft crashing.

A 3^rd party risk model that maps risk of injury, death and percent structural damage will enable informed decisions …

Human Factors Considerations In Autonomous Lethal Unmanned Aerial Systems, Kristine Kiernan

Aviation / Aeronautics / Aerospace International Research Conference

The United States military is committed to the development of complete autonomy in unmanned vehicles, including armed unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The design and deployment of autonomous lethal UAS raises ethical issues that have implications for human factors. System design, procedures, and training will be impacted by the advent of autonomous lethal UAS. This paper will define relevant vocabulary, review the literature on robot ethics as it applies to the military setting, discuss various perspectives in the research community, address levels of UAS autonomy, and discuss implications for operator training, responsibility, and human-machine interaction. Familiarity with these ethical issues and …

Insights Into Uas Accidents And Incidents, Robert Joslin

Aviation / Aeronautics / Aerospace International Research Conference

The proliferation and extension of unmanned aircraft systems from military to civil and public use applications has rapidly outpaced the safety analysis that is normally associated with the introduction of a new and novel aircraft. Insights into the types of anomalous events associated with accidents and incidents involving civil and public use unmanned aircraft systems operating in the National Airspace System were derived from an information synthesis of archival publically available reports from the FAA Preliminary Reports of Unmanned Aircraft System Accidents and Incidents database, as recorded in the Aviation Safety Information and Analysis Sharing system. The vast majority of …

Use Of Virtual Environments For Simulation Of Accident Investigation, Scott Burgess, Katherine Moran

Aviation / Aeronautics / Aerospace International Research Conference

Aircraft accident investigation requires extensive theoretical and methodological knowledge as well as hands-on application. While there are a handful of training centers that offer crash site reconstructions as training aids, these facilities offer limited static tools that can only be accessed by a minimal number of trainees who have flexible work schedules and access to available budgetary resources for travel, lodging and tuition to attend what is generally not-for-credit hands-on training. The use of a virtual interactive aircraft crash training environment can deliver a virtual crash laboratory to an infinite number of trainees, worldwide, provided computer technology is present. The …

Unmanned Insecurity: The Safety And Privacy Issues Of Unmanned Aircraft Information Assurance, Donna A. Dulo Ph.D.

Aviation / Aeronautics / Aerospace International Research Conference

Information assurance and computer security are foundational paradigms in ground based information systems. However, in the aerial realm of unmanned systems, information security often takes the proverbial back seat to high visibility issues such as safety and privacy. Yet, a secure unmanned aircraft is a basic tenant of safety and privacy in the operational arena. Information assurance and security that are enveloped into an unmanned aircraft protect the systems data, communications, as well as internal operations and permeates not only the aircraft’s systems, but also the system’s interactions with satellites, ground stations, and other aerial entities that share data and …

Unmanned Aerial Systems And Airport Master Plans, David S. Worrells, David C. Ison, Ken Witcher, D. Terwilliger

Aviation / Aeronautics / Aerospace International Research Conference

Investigative research study to establish best practices that may lead to a model for integrating UAS operations into airport master plans.

Qualitative, observational, and case analysis to determine best ways to incorporate UAS integration into the airport planning process, specifically airport master plans.

Danger In The Training Gap, William Korner

Aviation / Aeronautics / Aerospace International Research Conference

Loss of Control in flight has accounted for the largest share of worldwide passenger deaths over the past ten years. Not Controlled Flight into Terrain, not equipment failure or malfunction, not even weather – but Loss of Control, in flight.

And there is a disturbing caveat to this fact: In every one of those accidents over the past ten years where there was a large loss of life – highly trained and legally qualified pilots were at the controls of the aircraft involved. Meaning these accidents should have been preventable – yet they were not, because the pilots in command …
