A HFACS-Based Safety Learning Analysis of a CFIT Accident in Tropical Mountain Flight Operations

Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) remains a serious safety concern in tropical mountain flight operations, where changing weather, limited terrain clearance, and reduced visual references can narrow the options available during flight. This study examines the PK-SWW CFIT accident using the Human Factors Analysis an...

Why low-altitude aviation accidents become fatal: Evidence from U.S. National Transportation Safety Board Findings.

Low-altitude aviation accidents can become fatal when pilots have little time or altitude to recover after an abnormal event. Fatal outcomes, however, are rarely explained by altitude alone: they often depend on how human, aircraft, environmental, and operational factors combine within the accident sequence. This study...

Helicopters in Civil Protection (Wildfires)—Fleet Reserve

The use of helicopters demands very accurate management and the correct use of assets. This is crucial in achieving good performance and avoiding tasks that could be inconducive to extinguishing the fire or even cause serious accidents. In the field of civil protection, very few studies present this or a similar type o...

Scenario-Based Hierarchical Causal Analysis of R44 Helicopter Accidents in China's General Aviation

The Robinson R44 helicopter has a high accident rate in China's general aviation sector. Traditional human factors models have limitations when we use them under specific operational conditions, because they have coarse granularity in many cases and the conclusions are generalized, which makes it hard to find the real...

Aviation Accidents Without an Active Human-Factor Initiator: A Critical Analysis of Technical, Environmental, and System-Induced Causes

Human factors occupy a central place in contemporary aviation-safety research, and for good reason. Nevertheless, a residual class of occurrences exists in which the initiating event is not an operational human error but a physical, technical, environmental, or material failure. This paper examines the methodological v...
