Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Air taxis conduct nonscheduled transport and employ aircraft in various performance categories hereafter referred to as low, medium, and high performance, respectively. No study has yet addressed fixed-wing air taxi safety by performance category. Herein, we compared accident rates/occupant injury across air taxi airplane fleets grouped by performance category and identified human factors contributing to fatal accidents for airplanes in that category with the highest mishap rate.METHODS: Accidents (20042018) in the United States were identified from the National Transportation Sa

Abstract:

National Transportation Safety Board accident data for 1983-1991 were used to compare those general aviation accident cases that involved spatial disorientation (SD) with all others. About 2.1% of general aviation airplane accidents involved SD. Those accidents were associated with low ceilings, restricted visibility, precipitation, darkness and instrument flight conditions. Pilots in certain professions, particularly those in business, were more involved in SD accidents. Pilots in SD accidents were more often under pressure, fatigue, anxiety, physical impairment and alcohol or drugs. The pilo

INTRODUCTION: Loss-of-control (LOC) is the major cause of transport airplane mishaps. There have been many published reports and papers examining these accidents. While these studies did mention spatial disorientation (SD) as a cause or a factor, none of them analyzed it further. The present study uses transport and commuter airplane mishap data for a recent 35-yr period and examines the results of those mishaps involving spatial disorientation.METHOD: We identified LOC and SD accidents from five national aviation accident organizations and two independent groups.

Abstract:

Loss of control is one of the leading factors in hull losses and fatalities in airline aircraft. To reduce the risk of this type of accident, four types of airplane upset recovery training have been developed (ground-based flight simulation, aerobatic flight, ground-based flight simulation with aerobatic flight, and in-flight simulation). These were evaluated during in-flight reenactments of fatal, hull loss airline airplane accidents. A between-subjects design, with five groups of eight nonmilitary pilots flying in their probationary year for airlines, was used to evaluate these types of trai

(1) Background: It is difficult for accident investigators to objectively determine whether spatial disorientation may have contributed to a fatal airplane accident. In this paper, we evaluate three methods to reconstruct the possible occurrence of the somatogravic illusion based on flight data recordings from an airplane accident. (2) Methods: The outputs of two vestibular models were compared with the “standard” method, which uses the unprocessed gravito-inertial acceleration (GIA).

However, the pandemic has also afflicted the mental health of the population at large in the domains of anxiety and sleep disruption, potentially interfering with cognitive function. From an aviation perspective, safely operating an aircraft requires an airmans cognitive engagement for: 1) situational awareness, 2) spatial orientation, and 3) avionics programming.

The point of risk management is not to avoid the risk, but to face the risk by using a systematic way which therefore reduces the risk. However, due to time restrictions and limited resources, the problem solving methods should be efficient, low risk, and economical.

Abstract:

Since crises have become an inevitable, natural feature of the business world, managing brands during crisis has also become an important source of competitive advantage. Thus, there is a growing need to understand determinants of crisis, which have become an integral part of today's world. The aim of this chapter is to explain the determinants of successful brand management during crises based on the case of Turkey. Crises may arise for various reasons, such as natural disasters, accidents, financial/political/product harm-related problems, product recall incidents, and many others. Since brands are very affected by many dynamic forces—political-economic-social and technological—brand managers need to be prepared to overcome crises without harming the brand equity. Moreover, the integration of brand management theory, which originated and was dominated by Western researchers, with recent case examples from an emerging country, constitutes the originality of the chapter. In this chapter, two boycott cases, an airplane disaster case and a product recall case, from Turkey are summarized to contribute to the existing Western literature.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the distinction between accidents and mistakes. Much of the law of torts centers on negligent accidents—whether with cars, airplanes, guns, or simply walking on a slippery floor. The important feature of torts, as opposed to crime, is that there is no liability absent harm to the plaintiff. For example, there is no liability for merely attempting or risking harm. In domestic criminal law, accidents become relevant only in what can be called the pattern of harmful consequences, that is, where there is a causal chain between the action and the harm. Meanwhile, according to Article 31(1) of the Rome Statute, a mistake of fact is relevant only if it negates the mental element required for the crime.

Abstract:

In this last decade of the twentieth century, hazards have become a part of everyday life as they have never been before. It is not that life, at least in advanced industrial societies, is more dangerous. Indeed, by any measure, the average person is safer and is likely to live longer and with greater leisure and well-being than at earlier times. Nevertheless, the external world seems replete with toxic wastes, building collapses, industrial accidents, groundwater contamination, and airplane crashes and near collisions. The newspapers and television news daily depict specific hazard events, and a parade of newly discovered or newly assessed threats—the "hazard-of-the-week" syndrome—occupies the attention of a host of congressional committees, federal regulatory agencies, and state and local governments. Seemingly any potential threat, however esoteric or remote, has its day in the sun. How is it, then, that certain hazards pass unnoticed or unattended, growing in size until they have taken a serious toll? How is it that asbestos pervaded the American workplace and schools when its respiratory dangers had been known for decades? How is it that after years of worry about nuclear war, the threat of a "nuclear winter" did not become apparent until the 1980s? How is it that the Sahel famine of 1983 to 1984 passed unnoticed in the hazard-filled newspapers of the world press, until we could no longer ignore the specter of millions starving? How is it that America "rediscovered" poverty only with Michael Harrington's vivid account of the "other Americans" and acknowledged the accumulating hazards of chemical pesticides only with Rachel Carson's Silent Spring1? How is it that during this century a society with a Delaney amendment and a $10 billion Superfund program has allowed smoking to become the killer of millions of Americans? And why is it that the potential long-term ecological catastrophes associated with burning coal command so much less concern than do the hazards of nuclear power? These oversights or neglects, it might be argued, are simply the random hazards or events that elude our alerting and monitoring systems. After all, each society has its "worry beads," particular hazards that we choose to rub and polish assiduously (Kates 1985).

Abstract:

This chapter explores the use of “black boxes” in surgeries. When an airplane goes down, there is an urgent search for the plane’s black box. The black box contains both the audio recording of all cockpit discussion, as well as a recording of flight instrument readings. These two flight recorders are required by international regulation and together offer the best possibility of learning what happened in the minutes preceding any aviation accident or incident. A version of this kind of recording technology—which captures medical conversation and physiological parameters, allowing for postsurgery analysis—is starting to make its way into the world of medicine. However, this new technology raises important questions: Will surgeons and other health professionals be put in malpractice jeopardy by such new information? Will patients and their families become more likely to sue? Will more information undermine patient trust? Ultimately, medicine aspires to create a culture of continual improvement. As such, one can imagine black box technology entering medicine widely over the next years.

Abstract:

Chapter 2 presents a revisionist account of Osama Bin Laden’s personal experience of the West and his attachments to Britain. Bin Laden was born in 1957 in Riyadh, the only child of Muhammed Bin Laden’s tenth wife, A’alia Ghanem. After his parents’ divorce, Bin Laden spent his childhood years in the mother’s household. His father, a rich entrepreneur, died in an airplane accident when Osama was ten. The young Bin Laden had a cosmopolitan and in some ways rather secular upbringing. The turning point in his life came in 1976, when as a student he was exposed to Egyptian Islamist radicals in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Al Qaeda was founded in August 1988 in Bin Laden’s house in Peshawar, Pakistan. It was, from the start, dedicated to a global jihad. The chapter uses Bin Laden’s personal journal and files taken from his house in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and recently published books written by his close associates, to correct simplistic views of Bin Laden as a “man in a cave.”

Abstract:

Everyone lives with risk, every day. In the United States, more than 100,000 persons die from accidents every year, nearly half of them on the country’s roads. Worldwide, an average of more than 5000 coal miners perish underground annually, a toll often forgotten by those who oppose nuclear power generation on grounds of safety. From insect bites to poisoned foods and from smoking to travel, risk is unavoidable. Certain risks can be mitigated through behavior (not smoking, wearing seatbelts), but others are routinely accepted as inescapable. A half century ago, long before hijackings and airport security programs, the number of airline travelers continued to increase robustly even as airplanes crashed with considerable frequency. Today, few drivers or passengers are deterred by the carnage on the world’s roads, aware of it though they may be. Risk is part of life. Risk, however, also is a matter of abode, of location. Who, after experiencing or witnessing on television the impact of a hurricane, a tornado, an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, a flood, a blizzard, or some other extreme natural event, has not asked the question: “Where in the world might be a relatively safe place to live?” Geographers, some of whom have made the study of natural hazards and their uneven distribution a research priority, don’t have a simple answer. But on one point they leave no doubt: people, whether individually or in aggregate, subject themselves to known environmental dangers even if they have the wherewithal to avoid them. Many Americans build their retirement or second homes on flood-prone barrier islands along coastlines vulnerable to hurricanes. The Dutch, who have for many years been emigrating from the Netherlands in substantial numbers, are leaving for reasons other than the fact that two-thirds of their country lies below sea level. From Indonesia to Mexico, farmers living on the fertile slopes of active volcanoes not only stay where they are, but often resist even temporary relocation when volcanic activity resumes. From Tokyo to Tehran, people continue to cluster in cities with histories of devastating earthquakes and known to be situated in perilous fault zones. Fatalism is a cross-cultural human trait.

One of their common features is very low peak pressure at severe accidents without venting the containment atmosphere to the environment.

Abstract:

European Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (EU-ABWR) is developed by Toshiba. EU-ABWR accommodates an armored reactor building against Airplane Crash, severe accident mitigation systems, the N+2 principle in safety systems, the diversity principle and a large output of 1600 MWe. These features enable EU-ABWR’s design objectives and principles to be consistent with the safety requirements of Western European Nuclear Regulators’ Association (WENRA) and Finnish YVL guides. By designing safety features of the EU-ABWR based on Defense in Depth Principle, EU-ABWR has a capability to mitigate Design Ext

Abstract:

The extent of automation and autonomy used in general aviation (GA) has been accelerating dramatically. This has huge potential benefits for safety given that 75% of accidents in personal and on-demand GA are due to pilot error. However, an approach to certifying autonomous systems that relies on reversionary modes limits their potential to improve safety. Placing a human pilot in a situation where they are suddenly tasked with flying an airplane in a failed situation, often without sufficient situational awareness, is overly demanding. This, coupled with advancing technology that may not alig
