  • A Stamp Analysis of the Lex Comair 5191 Accident
    A STAMP ANALYSIS OF THE LEX COMAIR 5191 ACCIDENT Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the MSc in Human Factors and System Safety Paul S. Nelson LUND UNIVERSITY SWEDEN June 2008 A STAMP ANALYSIS OF THE LEX COMAIR 5191 ACCIDENT Paul S. Nelson 2 Acknowledgements I want to express my sincere gratefulness and appreciation to my professor Sidney Dekker, Lund University School of Aviation. I am forever indebted to him for showing me a new way to think and to look at the world of safety. He has been a patient mentor as I have struggled to let go of old hindsight labeling and develop foresight questioning in its place. It has been an honor to have his supervision and support during the entire master’s course and thesis project. I also want to thank Nancy Leveson, who, through her writings has also been an instructor to me. It is her new model for holistic analysis upon which this thesis is dependant. I want to thank my long time friend and colleague in ALPA safety work, Shawn Pruchniki, for introducing me to the world of Human Factors. It was his introduction that initiated the journey which lead to Sidney Dekker and this master’s degree. Finally, an infinity of thanks goes to my wife and best friend who searched the internet and found the Lund University masters course and encouraged me to apply. Only a teammate would willingly choose what she got herself into by encouraging me to work on my master’s degree. My flight assignments, ALPA safety work, and the Comair 5191 investigation, kept me away from home most of the time.

As we operate in a very dynamic industry, it is important that we anticipate changes in aviation so we can continue to develop airport facilities that will serve our customers and the broader air transportation system. The airport’s Master Plan process includes thoughtful forecasting of future activity and plans for an orderly phased development of the airport over time to accommodate that activity. Based on demographics, current airline industry conditions, trends in general aviation, historic growth and economic conditions, the airport and its consulting team have made plans for future facility improvements to accommodate both the immediate and long-term needs of both the com- mercial airlines and our general aviation community. Preparing for these changes now will allow Blue Grass Airport to meet the aviation needs of Lexington and central Kentucky in the future. I encourage you to review our Master Plan and see how these improvements will allow us to operate more efficiently, manage growth responsibly and maintain our role in the community as an economic
