Overview Regarding Human Factors in Aviation

Abstract

In the last years, technology experienced an exponentially increase, but no matter how much the aviation manufacturers tried to automate the flight activity, events with major implication for flight safety continue to appear. In over 80% of the aviation accidents, the limited performance of the pilots, technicians and air traffic controllers played a major role. The purpose of this study was to analyse the factors which influence the human performance in all stages of flight, taking into consideration 4962 aviation events from 2000 to 2020, downloaded from Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS). Nowadays, the perspective of the 4th industrial revolution constrains us to insist on using big data for much more complex analyses and much more accurate results.
