Human Factors In Aviation

During the pass years, commercial air transport has dominated the transportation industry. Commercial air transport has caused not only allowed passengers from to get from one point to another but also goods. However, accidents can arise within the aviation industry. One factor that has contributed to these accidents is Human error. Human error has continuously been a contributing factor to fatal crashes. However, with the proper training, manufacturing and management implemented into the industry, safety can continue to improve as time progresses.

Case Analysis- Aviation Human Factors
There are many commercial aviation accidents that have resulted from pilot error. There can be various factors that influence these incidents. One

The pilot has a responsibility to ensure that all of his passengers were safe. From the first warning, he should have checked to see that everything was in order and that everything was working as they should. It should have been the responsibility of other crew members to communicate with pilot efficiently to combat the problems that they were faced with. Due to all of the warnings signs, the captain should have already been aware that no longer was his idea of the take-off configuration warning liable but it was another issue. According to Mike (2014), “There was a lack of cabin crew procedures to address events involving loss of pressurization and continuation of the climb despite passenger oxygen masks deployment.” Many lives could have been saved if there was proper training on this issue.
Aircraft design also played a substantial role in this accident. Boeing 737 are prone to pressurization incidents. According to Mike (2014), “Ineffectiveness of measures taken by the manufacturer in response to previous pressurization incidents in the particular type of aircraft.” The manufacturer should have also ensured that there were measures and other safety precautions put into place to fix the problem. Tests should have been done to ensure that another incident involving pressurizing system’s do not

From the manufacturer to the flight crew, there were some bad decisions made. The incident, according to Mike (2014), “Incapacitation of the flight crew due to hypoxia, resulting in the continuation of the flight via the flight management computer and the autopilot, depletion of the fuel and engine flameout, and the impact of the aircraft with the ground.” I would recommend, not only for engineer to pay attention to detail but also for managers to ensure that everyone is well trained to ensure an organization that practices good safety culture and quality management. I would also recommend that crew members are adequately trained to implement Crew Resource Management principles to ensure safety. The flight crew should have also been aware of the Aircraft Flight Manual and that passenger masks will not provide sufficient oxygen for prolonged operation above 34,000 feet cabin altitude. They should have also been aware that the manual stated that prolonged operation above 25,000 feet cabin altitude with passengers on board is not
