  • Testimony of Ms. Dana Schulze Acting Director, Office of Aviation Safety
    Testimony of Ms. Dana Schulze Acting Director, Office of Aviation Safety National Transportation Safety Board Before the Subcommittee on Aviation Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure United States House of Representatives — On — Status of Aviation Safety — Washington, DC • July 17, 2019 An Independent Federal Agency Good morning, Chairman Larsen, Ranking Member Graves, and Members of the Subcommittee. Thank you for inviting the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to testify before you today. I am the Acting Director of the Office of Aviation Safety within the NTSB. The NTSB is an independent federal agency charged by Congress with investigating every civil aviation accident in the United States and significant accidents in other modes of transportation – highway, rail, marine, and pipeline. We determine the probable cause of the accidents we investigate, and we issue safety recommendations aimed at preventing future accidents. In addition, we conduct special transportation safety studies and special investigations and coordinate the resources of the federal government and other organizations to assist victims and their family members who have been impacted by major transportation disasters. The NTSB is not a regulatory agency – we do not promulgate operating standards nor do we certificate organizations and individuals. The goal of our work is to foster safety improvements, through formal and informal safety recommendations, for the traveling public. We investigate all civil domestic air carrier, commuter, and air taxi accidents; general aviation accidents; and certain public-use aircraft accidents, amounting to approximately 1,400 investigations of accidents and incidents annually. We also participate in investigations of airline accidents and incidents in foreign countries that involve US carriers, US-manufactured or - designed equipment, or US-registered aircraft.

  • Application of Eye-Tracking Technology As a Diagnostic Tool for Assessing Flight Operators
    TRANSPORT PROBLEMS 2020 Volume 15 Issue 4 Part 1 PROBLEMY TRANSPORTU DOI: 10.21307/tp-2020-043 Keywords: professional psychological selection; temperament; mental stability; Intelligence; conflict management strategy; behavioral style; internality Olga ARINICHEVA*, Natalia LEBEDEVA, Aleksei MALISHEVSKII Saint Petersburg State University of Civil Aviation Pilotov 38, Saint Petersburg, 196210, Russia *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] APPLICATION OF EYE-TRACKING TECHNOLOGY AS A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR ASSESSING FLIGHT OPERATORS. PART 2: A STUDY OF QUALITIES IMPORTANT FOR OPERATORS IN THE AVIATION INDUSTRY Summary. This paper is based on the results of an experiment aimed at studying attention distribution and switching among students using a stationary eye-tracking device. The hypothesis was that the operator’s distraction tolerance should be influenced by his or her general mental strength; temperament, which is a derivative of the characteristics of the nervous system; and the level of intelligence, as a general indicator of the state of the nervous system. In addition, the paper discusses the results of psychological assessment, which are not directly related to the issue of distraction tolerance but indirectly affect it. These results are compared with characteristics that directly affect distraction tolerance. 1. INTRODUCTION Professional psychological selection in aviation is one of the key factors ensuring flight safety in the future. However, dangerous trends can be witnessed all over the world when profit seeking leads to negative consequences. "Today’s aviation shows a significant gap between the requirements for a pilot license – to safely fly the aircraft – and the actual real requirements and demands of the profession – to safely and efficiently operate an aircraft in an airline environment" [1].

  • Pilots at MIA's Biggest Cargo Airline Warned Execs a Crash Was Coming
    Pilots at MIA’s biggest cargo airline warned execs a crash was coming. Then a plane went down. By Taylor Dolven June 12, 2019 10:45 AM, Updated July 14, 2020 05:23 PM Read more here: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/tourism- cruises/article230569724.html#storylink=cpy A plane, the pilot warned, was going to crash. Experience at Atlas Air had become so insufficient that a catastrophe seemed unavoidable, he told company executives at Atlas’s 2017 annual meeting in Miami. “There’s a certain level where when the experience goes down and the challenges keep rising that we’re going to have more close calls. And they might not all end as well as they have. And that has to be addressed,” the captain told Chief Executive Officer William Flynn and Chief Operating Officer John Dietrich, according to a recording of the meeting obtained by the Miami Herald. Two years later, on Feb. 23, 2019, an Atlas Boeing 767 full of Amazon packages left Miami International Airport and crashed 40 miles outside of Houston, killing all three pilots on board. The National Transportation Safety Board has cited pilot error as the likely cause of the crash, according to the Wall Street Journal. But some pilots at the company claim that the true cause lies elsewhere. As online shopping has boomed, so has business for cargo airlines. The global air cargo industry for U.S. carriers has grown by more than 20 percent in the last five years, measured in revenue ton-miles by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
