ANALYSIS OF THE HUMAN FACTOR IN AIR ACCIDENTS IN POLISH CIVIL AVIATION IN THE YEARS 2010-2015
Journal Title: The Polish Journal of Aviation Medicine, Bioengineering and Psychology - Year 2018, Vol 24, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Air accidents are inherent to aviation, regardless of the level of advancement of aviation technology. Both at the stage of aircraft construction and production, as well as during their operation, there are both failures of technological solutions and their handling by ground services or crews during air missions. At each of these stages, different tasks and activities are carried out by a person who may contribute in the short or long term to the inefficient operation of the system: crew – aircraft – environment (C-Ac-E) [17] that resulted in a catastrophe or air accident. The analysis of accidents often focuses on the impact of the so-called human factor on the causes that led to the accident or catastrophe. The aim of the paper was to analyze the most frequent causes of accidents as a result of the human factor. In order to achieve this objective, the available documentation of 210 civil air accidents that occurred in the Polish airspace was analyzed. Among the examined accident records for the years 2010-2015 , the cause of the majority of accidents was the so-called human factor, which accounted for 80% of all unfortunate events.
