Abstract

All the official records of aircraft accidents investigated by official preventing and detecting agencies always has concluded that the human as guilty or as a major component in accidents, a rate close to eighty percent. One must consider that the pilot receives an artifact that started its manufacturing project a few years before being delivered into his hands. He is now responsible for keeping it in the air, safely, weighing 50,000 pounds or more and carrying five tonnes of highly flammable fuel and has about two hundred people aboard. This complex machine depends on the perfect working condition. Human beings are fallible and aviation history shows that these devices have and will continue presenting defects. Innserido this way for technical perfection and operating the aircraft, the pilot is invariably, in the end, is the one who is always within the artifact when it crashes and usually pay a high price: his life. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
