INTEGRATED SAFETY SYSTEMS DESIGN AND HUMAN FACTORS CONSIDERATIONS FOR JET TRANSPORT AEROPLANES

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

Improved flight safety is a goal expected by the flying public and shared by all aircraft manufacturers and operators. The accident rate for recent designs are considerably better than the first generation of commercial jet aircraft. A major factor in this and further expected improvement in newer aircraft is the commitment of the aircraft manufacturers to improved safety, together with improved certification regulations and continuing airworthiness programs from the regulatory authorities. The potential contribution of new flight deck technology to improved safety is an integral part of this process. This paper discusses improved safety methods used in the design of aircraft and also in the systems that implement the functions of those aircraft.
