Abstract: This research is conducted for the purposing of exploring the take-off and landing safety risk mechanism of amphibious seaplanes and effectively preventing such risks. Firstly, the risk factors of take-off and landing of amphibious seaplanes were identified by encoding 28 accident statistical reports and interview records of 29 interviewees on the basis of GT, and then a conceptual model of risk factors was constructed. Secondly, data was collected through questionnaires, factor analysis was used to screen risk factors, and the interrelation between risk factors were explored. Finally, SEM was applied to reveal the function route of risk factors to take-off and landing safety. The results show that the conceptual model of risk factors includes 33 specific factors under 4 categories: personnel, equipment and facilities, environment and management. The 4 categories are obviously interrelated with each other and they have significant influence on the function route coefficients of take-off and landing safety risks.

Key words: grounded theory (GT), amphibious seaplane, take-off and landing safety, risk identification, structural equation model (SEM)
