A Simple Model of Pilot Performance
Last days I received some e mails from different
International Airline Pilots who told me that he liked to read my safety
articles on my blog. So, today I want to share my thoughts and experiences as a
Pilot and also as an Aviation Accident Investigator, and perhaps you may gather
something useful from my skills and understanding more Why Accidents Happen.
I truly hope you will. So, we as Pilots so
often misunderstood along the way what’s happen when we hear when an airplane crashed.
We asked many questions why this accident happened.
Anyway, writing give me the ideal platform and
enough time to express exactly what I wish to communicate and share knowledge’s
with all the Aviation Community no matter in what Country you are flying .
I believe and I’m sure the principles concepts
that I should always help all people who fly and give something back to review
the fatal accidents in the past, no matter how much you know about aviation and your airplane.
Since my early childhood, I always like to be a
Pilot and also I was very interested why accidents happen hopefully, I can achieve
that dream when I grew up and I convince that accidents can happen to any Pilot
at any time no matter how many hours you are gathering in your Pilot Logboock,
the most important is to maintain a good training all the time and be prepared
for any emergency at any phase of the flight.
The bad things about the statistics of
accidents are that people continue to crash and be killed. In last years, the
Pilot was found to be a broad cause factor in 84 % of all accidents, and 90 %
of all fatal accidents. So, this means that the responsibility for accidents is
principally the fault of people, not the machine the fly.
On my previous articles I was stated the most common , specific causes of the
accidents , in order of frequency like : Loss of directional control, Poor
Judgment , Airspeed not maintained , Poor preflight planning and decision making
, Clearance not maintained , Inadvertent Stalls , Poor Crosswind handling ,
Poor inflight planning and decision making etc…
As you can see, practically all of these are a
result of poor pilot performance, not a result of equipment malfunctions.
As you review the statistics in the last year
and today , after the final accident report is completely finished , it is likely
that you can noticed that there were a variety of types of errors , and we as a
Pilots learned a lot of things of that accident or incident . To summarize,
errors can be introduced into the decision making process what’s going on when
and accident occur.
Sometimes errors can be introduced into the
system by reason of external pressures that encourage the Pilot to choose a poor
alternative action, and sometimes errors occur even when the correct decision
has been made, because the physical or mental state of the Pilot reduces the
ability to perform well.
That is one important message I hope to get across,
and share with all the Aviation Community around the world who read my Safety Blog.
Also I like to thanks some of those Pilots who have read my all posts so much
more to be always a Safety Pilot all the time , finally thank you so much for
the e mails I received , I will continue promoting Aviation Safety across the Nation
.
Always remember Fly Safely!!!
Prevent the worst and Put safety
first, because being Safe today will keep you Alive tomorrow.
