Understanding and Analyzing Unstabilized Approach
If we want to understand Error-Related Accidents
we must put ourselves in the real of the problem, when aircraft accidents happen.
Through my safety blog I always want to share the best approach to all Pilots all
around the world, no matter in what Country you as a Pilot working for, to understand
a respectable clear concept why accidents happen and why we as Pilots we can avoided
and stay away in the prevention of accidents and incidents and working together
with your Airline Safety Department to review your SOPs regarding circumstances
suggests that an accident resulting from
landing from an unstabilized approach may be continue if we don’t place
attention the examples of the last accidents in Global Aviation .
When an Airplane Crash happens there are many
hypotheses about what’s going until the final investigation will closed and distributed
the best recommendations regarding about that accident, but the most important evidence
is to understand why this accident happened and why this incident can be
avoided to prevent future accidents similar in the same conditions.
While the Annex 13 has been adopted pursuant the
provisions to the convention on International Civil Aviation Aircraft Accident
and Incident investigation, the manual makes it very clear to circulated good
safety recommendations the state of the accident investigation authority of
the State conducting the investigation, based on information derived from the
investigation, made with the intention of preventing accidents or incidents.
The only objective for the investigation, as
stated in Annex 13, the sole objective of the investigation of an accident or
incident shall be the prevention of accidents and incidents. It is not the
purpose of this activity to apportion blame or liability.
As a Human Being as Pilots should never judge anyone
in this profession, there is always a lot of speculation about when an accident
occurs, the most important thing is to study and focus where was the error
and trying to identify on time for the prevention of future accidents.
Also, pilots may be conservative; to
understanding the problem of unstabilized approach what that mean and focus and
work hard of the analysis of unstabilized approach events.
All pilots are trained to base cockpit
decisions on strategic and analytic reasoning, while realistic decision-making
theory recommends that experts in naturalistic settings, like pilots, make
decisions based on experience.
My best recommendation to all pilots is to study
all this accidents and examined the willingness and ability of general aviation
pilots to execute immediately a go around if you think you are involved during unstabilized approach take immediate action
on time , it doesn't matter if you are in a good clear conditions or in
low-visibility conditions .
The purpose of analyzing and working during
your simulator training with your flight instructor it is good to practice to understand
the strategies that pilots need to recognize, when you are approaching during
unstabalized approach, to land the plane safely during the approach.
Flight Instructors must assist flight crews in
their performance of stabilized approaches and provide cases of accidents and established
programs that help understanding between pilots and team building, resulted in
a significant reduction in unstabilized approaches and follow up and review your
company SOPs .
Controlled flight into terrain accidents (CFIT ) are
seen as the result of system-induced errors. In some cases, programs have been
adopted that helped improve mutual understanding and improving pilots awareness
of the risks associated with their actions during approach and improving
training on unstabilized approaches and also to understanding and have clear that
the new modern technology and display systems , it is highly questionable
whether total system safety is always enhanced by assigning functions to
automatic devices rather than human operators, and there is some reason to
believe that flight-deck automation may have already passed its optimum point.
This is an age-old question in the human factors occupation, and there are few
guidelines available to the system designer.
Some automation-related aircraft accidents and
incidents are discussed as examples of human factors problems in automated
flight during the last fatal crashes involved commercial airlines, also you as
a pilot need to understand well the concept of the Aeronautical Lighting and
other Airport Visual Aids for a Safe Landing , some pilots forget this
important perceptions during landing.
Always remember that the term Pilot Error is an
action or decision of the pilot that , if not fixed and corrected on time ,
could be contribute to the occurrence of an accident or incident .
I want to be emphasis that the term Pilot Error
does not imply that all errors are the fault of the pilot.
For this same reason I always share this phrase
again with all the aviation community to stay away from accidents and incidents
and fly safely all the time.
The day you think you don't learn more in
aviation, it is the time you need to stop working and retired in this
profession, because maybe you are going to make the mistake of your life. In
aviation every day you learn new things.
