• Human Error and General Aviation Accidents: A Comprehensive, Fine-Grained Analysis Using HFACS

  BNET - 2005-05-01

  The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System HFACS is a theoretically based tool for investigating and analyzing human error associated with accidents and incidents. Previous research performed at both at the University of Illinois and the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute CAMI have been highly successful and have shown that HFACS...

• Defining the Relationship Between Human Error Classes and Technology Intervention Strategies

  BNET - 2003-07-01

  One of the main factors in all aviation accidents is human error. The NASA Aviation Safety Program AvSP, therefore, has identified several human-factors safety technologies to address this issue. Some technologies directly address human error either by attempting to reduce the occurrence of errors or by mitigating the negative consequences...

• Analysis of Mid-Air Collisions in Civil Aviation

  BNET - 2001-08-21

  Mid Air Collisions MAC are tragic events, with the potential of multiple fatalities. Despite the improving trends in aviation safety, the rate of MAC has remained stable for the past few years. There is an absence of published literature on MAC and related human performance issues. Consequently, the study presented...

• Air Traffic Control (ATC) Related Accidents and Incidents: A Human Factors Analysis

  BNET - 2001-03-21

  Human error has been cited as a major factor in the majority of aviation accidents and incidents. To date, however, the causal role of aircrew errors has received the bulk of the attention by both air safety investigators and human factors researchers. Nevertheless, there is a growing concern within the...

• Applying the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) to the Analysis of Commercial Aviation Accident Data

  BNET - 2001-03-21

  The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System HFACS is a general human error framework originally developed and tested within the U.S. military as a tool for investigating and analyzing the human causes of aviation accidents. Based upon Reason's (1990) model of latent and active failures, HFACS addresses human error at...
