Computerizing the Cockpit and Using Advance Technologies Brought a Dramatic Decrease of Aircraft Accidents during the Last 20 Years.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c41798) has announced the addition of Fatal Accidents in Advanced Technology Aircraft: A Critical Survey to their offering. Fatal Accidents in Advanced Technology Aircraft: A Critical Survey was prepared by Captain Livni Gideon who is a very experienced pilot and investigator, flying B-757, B-767 and B-777, mentor to the former Israeli Air Force The Israeli Air Force (IAF; Hebrew: זרוע האויר והחלל, Zroa HaAvir VeHaḤalal Commander Gen (Ret) H. Bodinger. The new study helps in identifying potential reasons for "Advanced Technology Aircraft" accidents and suggests acts to prevent them. During an era when the outcome of one fatal accident often leads to the airline's bankruptcy, this study possesses a unique significance due to the general perception and to the irregular approach of the analysis concerning the phenomena common to the overall accidents. In addition to the conclusions and recommendations, and to prevent the recurrence recurrence /re·cur·rence/ (-ker´ens) the return of symptoms after a remission.recur´rent re·cur·rence n. 1. of similar accidents, the research outlines a strategy for future preparation to the replacement of future aircraft technology, in order to prevent accidents defined as "the childhood diseases of the new technology". Computerizing the cockpit This article is about the flight deck of an aircraft. For other uses, see Cockpit (disambiguation). A cockpit is the area usually nearer the front of a piloted aircraft from which a pilot controls the aircraft. and using advance technologies brought a dramatic decrease of aircraft accidents during the last 20 years. However, the new Glass Cockpit A glass cockpit is an aircraft cockpit that features electronic instrument displays. A relatively recent development, glass cockpits are highly sought-after upgrades from traditional cockpits. created different kinds of safety problems and caused some fatal accidents in which thousands of people lost their lives and the damages were enormous. This applied research tests, in great depth, the reasons why 27 fatal accidents occurred while involving advanced technology aircraft. The research analyzes the acute phenomena, which characterizes the human factor in Glass Cockpit aircraft: - Misunderstanding the behaviour of the aircraft, including its systems - Canalizing events - Spatial orientation failures - Aircraft manoeuvring manoeuvring or US maneuvering Noun the skilful manipulation of a situation to gain some advantage envelopes exceedance ex·ceed·ance n. The amount by which something, especially a pollutant, exceeds a standard or permissible measurement. Noun 1. - The unique mental factors The research analyzes the deterioration de·te·ri·o·ra·tion n. The process or condition of becoming worse. of acute technical failures, leading to loss of control of the aircraft, and to the contribution of the "organization" factors (manufacturer, airlines and the civil aviation authorities Civil Aviation Authority civil (Brit) n → Behörde f für Zivilluftfahrt ) to the chain of failures, which led to the occurrence of the accidents, relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc the aircrafts' design, maintenance, operation and the policy involving aircrew handling. Who would find the report useful? - Air line operators - Civil Aviation Administration - Aircraft Manufacturers - Air Forces authorities - Universities and Research Institutions for Aviation Safety and Accidents investigation The research population comprises: a. Aircraft of the Glass Cockpit type defined as Advanced Technology aircraft ("Advanced Aircraft"). The precise definition and related considerations will be presented in detail below. b. Western manufactured aircraft only, due to the unavailability of information considering on the structure and design of non-western manufacture or of their methods of operation. c. Passenger aircraft with a minimal capacity of 50 passengers. d. Cargo aircraft A cargo aircraft is an airplane designed and used for the carriage of goods, rather than passengers. This role demands a number of features that makes a cargo aircraft instantly identifiable; a "fat" looking fuselage, a high-wing to allow the cargo area to sit near the ground, a . e. Commercial/operational scheduled flights scheduled flight schedule n → vol régulier scheduled flight schedule n → Linienflug m only. f. International airline and charter airlines... g. Accidents resulting in fatalities that occurred between the years 1983 and 2002. The research population includes the following types of aircraft: AIRBUS: A300 -600, A310, A318, A319, A320, A321, A330, A340 BOEING: B-737-400 to 900, B-757, B-767, B-777, B-747-400 MCDONNEL (BOEING): MD-11, MD-83, MD-87-90 AVRO: Avro RJ100 BAe: BAe 146-300 FOKKER: Fokker F-70 / F-100 CANADAIR: CRJ-700/-900 Definition of Fatal Accident The Definitions adopted are based primarily on the corresponding ICAO ICAO abbr. International Civil Aeronautics Organization Noun 1. ICAO - the United Nations agency concerned with civil aviation International Civil Aviation Organization terms. a. Fatal Accident: An accident that results in fatal injury. b. Fatal Injury: An injury that results in death within 30 days as a result of an accident. The Companies Mentioned include: - Airbus - Boeing - McDonnel - AVRO - Fokker - Canadair For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c41798 |
