Marbles: The Application Of Input-Output Concepts To Safety Management Systems, Tim Brady, Alan Stolzer, Anthony Brickhouse, Antonio Cortés, Dan Mccune, Jayathi Raghavan, David Freiwald
Journal of Aviation Technology and Engineering
The goal of this research was to apply the economic concept titled Input-Output Analysis to an aviation safety concept titled Safety Management Systems (SMS). Input-Output (IO) is based upon the interrelationships of various components of an economic system and what happens to the system when one or more of those components changes. Since SMS is, by definition, a system with definable components, the research sought to determine if the interrelationships between those components could be determined and quantified. The term ‘‘marbles’’ was used to describe the activities that led to the IO-SMS matrix. Marbles was used as a metaphor for …
The Efficacy Of Aircraft Type Club Safety, William Jeffrey "Jeff" Edwards
The Efficacy Of Aircraft Type Club Safety, William Jeffrey "Jeff" Edwards
Journal of Aviation Technology and Engineering
The FAA and industry are attempting to make significant improvements in general aviation (GA) safety through voluntary measures largely carried out by grassroots aviation organizations, such as aircraft type clubs. While aircraft type clubs are principally focused on safety and education efforts, little is known about the efficacy of their voluntary measures. Research is lacking with respect to understanding whether or not voluntary measures contribute to GA safety. This mixed methods research quantifies the accident data of three aircraft type clubs and compares the safety of their members to nonmembers. A qualitative examination reveals why type club members may have …
Comparative Analysis Of Accident And Non-Accident Pilots, David C. Ison
Comparative Analysis Of Accident And Non-Accident Pilots, David C. Ison
Journal of Aviation Technology and Engineering
The purpose of this study was to investigate potential differences between two pilot groups; the first was a sample of individuals who have not been involved in an accident and the second was a sample of pilots from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) accident database. Factors investigated included flight time, pilot flight review status, pilot certification, employment as a professional pilot, gender, and age. This study was guided by the exigent literature on aviation accidents with a primary focus on general aviation pilot accident attributes. Non-accident pilot participation was solicited through various aviation-related websites and a total of 1,829 …
