This paper presents the development of a model of accident analysis according to the principal factors which influence aeronautical accidents that are able to assess any aircraft accident, taking into account human, organizational, environmental and airport infrastructure factors. The methodology of data collection of this research was through the literature, analysis of aircraft accident reports, technical visits to the center of certification of commercial aircraft pilots and interviews with industry experts. From this model, it is possible to evaluate the influence of these factors and identify the dependence and relationship existing, and how they influence the system. With the aid of Bayesian Networks technique, it is also possible to quantify the factors and assess which ones have more impact in the system. The results show the relationship between the factors that can influence the performance of the pilots and therefore can indicate how it may impact the success or failure of tasks related to flight procedures. The results also may indicate subsidies for mitigating actions, collaborating in the management of operational safety of air transport and assessing the overall impact of the factors that determine any accident. RESUMOEste artigo apresenta o desenvolvimento de um modelo de análise de acidentes de acordo com os principais fatores que influenciam os acidentes aeronáuticos, capaz de avaliar qualquer acidente de aeronave, levando em conta fatores de infraestrutura humana, organizacional, ambiental e aeroportuária. A metodologia de coleta de dados desta pesquisa foi através de literatura, análise de acidentes aeronáuticos, visita técnica no centro de certificação de pilotos de aeronaves comerciais e consultas a especialistas. A partir desse modelo, é possível avaliar a influência desses fatores e identificar as dependências e relações existentes, e como elas influenciam o sistema. Com a ajuda da técnica de Redes Bayesianas também é possível quantificar os fatores e avaliar quais fatores têm mais impacto no sistema. Os resultados mostram a relação entre os fatores que podem influenciar o desempenho dos pilotos e, portanto, indicam como isso pode afetar o sucesso ou o fracasso das tarefas relacionadas aos procedimentos de voo. Os resultados também podem indicar subsídios para ações mitigadoras, colaborar na gestão da segurança operacional do transporte aéreo e avaliar o impacto global dos fatores que determinam qualquer acidente.

A continuous growth in air transport industry over the recent decades increases the probability of occurrence of accidents and consequently the need of aviation risk and safety assessments. In order to assess the risks related to aircraft ground operations, all the influencing variables that can affect the safety of maneuvers should be determined. Generally, catastrophic accidents that occur inside an aerodrome are assigned to the runway incursions and excursions. Incursions are dedicated to all events happening inside the runway (e.g. existence of an obstacle or accident of two aircraft) and excursions are considered for an unsuccessful aircraft operation which leads to surpassing the designated thresholds/borders of the runway. Landing and take-off overruns, as the main excursion events, are responsible for the major recorded incidents/accidents over the past 50 years. Many variables can affect the probability of runway-related accidents such as weather conditions, aircraft braking potential, pilot’s level of experience, etc. The scope of this study is to determine weather-wise parameters that amplify the probability of excursion events. In order to quantify the probability of each type of accidents, the effect of each meteorological variables on the aircraft operation is simulated by RSARA/LRSARA© simulators, released by Aircraft Cooperative Research Program (ACRP). In this regard, specific airports with diverse characteristics (i.e.; landlocked airport, extreme annual operations, extreme runway geometries and weather conditions) are selected as case studies in the analyses. Gusts and wind forces, specifically cross-wind, turned out to be the most dominant weather-wise influencing parameters on the occurrence of runway excursions.
