Abstract:

To address the classification and quantitative evaluation issues of unsafe behaviors of civil aviation pilots, the management mode of their unsafe behaviors was optimized. A method for managing unsafe behaviors in civil aviation was proposed focusing on the civil aviation flight field. Firstly, based on unsafe behavior classification theory, intervention and improvement methods for errors and violations were systematically analyzed to distinguish between errors and violations. Secondly, expert interviews and questionnaire surveys were used to propose a classification evaluation index system for pilots' unsafe behaviors. Furthermore, a classification method of unsafe behavior based on quick access recorder (QAR) data and a quantification method of unsafe behavior scores based on flight operations quality assurance (FOQA) were proposed to achieve a classified quantitative assessment of pilots' unsafe behaviors. Finally, the classifying and managing unsafe behavior process was analyzed and validated. The results indicated that the 68 FOQA monitoring events obtained by screening and calculation had different causal behavioral tendencies. The two proposed unsafe behavior classifications and quantitative evaluation methods can be combined with QAR data or FOQA records. Moreover, the classification management of unsafe behaviors of civil aviation pilots can be achieved by combining intervention and improvement measures for errors and violations.
