The aim of this study was to extend previous examinations of aviation accidents to include specific aircrew, environmental, supervisory, and organizational factors associated with two types of commercial aviation (air carrier and commuter/ on-demand) accidents using the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS).
HFACS is a theoretically based tool for investigating and analyzing human error associated with accidents and incidents. Previous research has shown that HFACS can be reliably used to identify human factors trends associated with military and general aviation accidents.
Using data obtained from both the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration, 6 pilot-raters classified aircrew, supervisory, organizational, and environmental causal factors associated with 1020 commercial aviation accidents that occurred over a 13-year period.
The majority of accident causal factors were attributed to aircrew and the environment, with decidedly fewer associated with supervisory and organizational causes. Comparisons were made between HFACS causal categories and traditional situational variables such as visual conditions, injury severity, and regional differences.
These data will provide support for the continuation, modification, and/or development of interventions aimed at commercial aviation safety.
HFACS provides a tool for assessing human factors associated with accidents and incidents.
本研究的目的是扩展先前对航空事故的调查，以使用人为因素分析与分类系统（HFACS），纳入与两类商业航空（航空公司和通勤/按需航空）事故相关的特定机组人员、环境、监管和组织因素。
HFACS是一种基于理论的工具，用于调查和分析与事故及事件相关的人为错误。先前的研究表明，HFACS可可靠地用于识别与军事和通用航空事故相关的人为因素趋势。
利用从美国国家运输安全委员会和联邦航空管理局获得的数据，6名飞行员评级员对13年期间发生的1020起商业航空事故相关的机组人员、监管、组织和环境因果因素进行了分类。
大多数事故因果因素归因于机组人员和环境，与监管和组织原因相关的明显较少。对HFACS因果类别与传统情境变量（如视觉条件、伤害严重程度和地区差异）进行了比较。
这些数据将为旨在提高商业航空安全性的干预措施的持续、修改和/或开发提供支持。
HFACS提供了一种评估与事故及事件相关的人为因素的工具。
