Perceived threats, errors and safety in aerial work and low capacity air transport operations
Perceived threats, errors and safety in aerial work and low capacity air transport operations
Summary
Although several studies have reported the common threats and
errors identified in line operations safety audits (LOSAs) of high
capacity regular public transport (RPT) operations (Klinect,
Wilhelm & Helmreich, 1999; Veilette, 2005; Thomas, 2004), there
is little information on the types of threats and errors faced by
pilots in other parts of the aviation industry.
This report catalogues the most common threats to operations,
and errors made by pilots, in aerial work and low capacity air
transport operations, as perceived by flight instructors,
check-and-training pilots, chief pilots and line pilots. The aim of
this report is to provide a snapshot of these perceived threats and
errors, along with ratings of safety deficiencies, and to offer
some suggestions in how to deal with threats and errors.
