Maintenance is essential to aviation safety, yet improper maintenance contributes to a
significant proportion of aviation accidents and incidents. This is because a small …

Human error is implicated in nearly all aviation accidents, yet most investigation and
prevention programs are not designed around any theoretical framework of human error …

The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) is a general human error
framework originally developed and tested within the US military as a tool for investigating …

In recent years cognitive error models have provided insights into the unsafe acts that lead
to many accidents in safety-critical environments. Most models of accident causation are …

In this paper a statistical analysis of a sample of 58 helicopter maintenance-induced safety
occurrences is conducted to study helicopter accidents and incidents' survivability and the …

This paper proposes a model capable of predicting fatal occurrences in aviation events such
as accidents and incidents, using as inputs the human factors that contributed to each …

In this work, we establish that maintenance and inspection are a risk factor in helicopter
accidents. Between 2005 and 2015, flawed maintenance and inspection were causal factors …

Compliance with approved procedures is an essential part of ensuring safety. Despite the
