A study of an airworthiness requirement influence of human factors on aviation incidents

Abstract

The intent of this paper is two-fold: (1) find a method to reduce human errors in the pre-flight phase, and (2) reduce the accident rate during take-off. This paper recognises task analysis as one of the most effective methods based on the character of this paper and the methods in AMC25.1302. This paper will adopt the task analysis method to analyze the specific work task. Through the analysis of the FMC (Flight Management Computer) operation task based on the CS25.1302, it can be known that FMC is a kind of common equipment which can achieve the intended function. However, in the process of the FMC operation, there are still some defects, such as the information tips, information check and information modification. In comparing the old to the new airworthiness requirements of FMC, the CS25.1302 is identified as easily discovering such problems. Before the CS25.1302, such problems were not effectively dealt with.
