Knowledge risk management in aviation

Abstract

Aviation is one of the most important domains nowadays from the perspective of the economy and security of a nation. When we talk about aviation, we can say that it is divided into two categories, civil aviation and military aviation. Though they share the same base characteristics, an aircraft departing from an airport and safely landing on another airport, they are parted by a lot of aspects. One of the common things that they share is the risk involved every time an aircraft is prepared for departing and the actual flight, until the safe landing at the designated airport. The two involve different risks that I will approach during the current article. When we narrow the discussion to risk, we can tell for sure that the risk involved in the Romanian Air Force is higher due to the specifics of the mission. The importance of knowledge in aviation is an aspect that involves all of our attention because we have to take into consideration both tacit and explicit knowledge. Knowledge risk management represents a gap in the aviation domain. Except for the explicit knowledge that is necessary to be assimilated in order to be able to play a part in aviation, tacit knowledge is an important part of this activity domain.
