Doctoral Thesis in Industrial Work Science KTH Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Sweden 2020 © Johan Rignér ISBN: 978-91-7873-693-5 TRITA-ITM-AVL 2020:42 Printed by: Universitetsservice US-AB, Sweden 2020 Abstract The increased use of automation has affected the work on the flight deck. The Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR), deployed with the purpose to increase the European ATM system performance, identifies automation as a key enabler to increase future system performance. The aviation system is a complex large socio-technical system. The system is affected by internal and external stressors at all system levels. At a work process level of this system, the flight deck represents a Joint Cognitive System. When accidents or incidents do occur, the importance to look beyond the label of flight crew error to understand what happened is widely recognized. As flight safety improves, there are fewer incidents and accidents to learn from, which increases the importance to look at normal operations data for improvement. The flight crew training environment is increasingly relying on collected data about an individual airline’s flight operational environment and performance. Through airlines’ performance measurement system, a large amount of performance data is collected. However, this data is not in a format immediately useful for studies of neither complex socio-technical, nor joint cognitive systems. In addition, regulatory, financial, and other constraints limit airlines’ use of collected data as well as how they perform training. The purpose of this research is to increase knowledge about how training content and learning opportunities for flight crew relates to airline performance monitoring and measurement processes, given a highly automated dynamic environment. Against this background, barriers and potential for improvements to support the flight crew for the operation of the highly automated aircraft are identified. This research has been conducted using a mixed method approach for collecting and analyzing data. The overall research approach is conducted in an applied research tradition. The empirical data in this thesis are primarily based on two research projects, HILAS and Brantare, both with explicit goals of knowledge generation and learning among participating organizations. The results are based on the following methods: 1) System analysis using Rasmussen’s model for a socio-technical system involved in risk management as the framework, to describe the aviation system, primarily with a perspective from the flight crew and their automated work environment, 2) Interviews of pilots, 3) Workshops with groups of pilots and safety office staff, 4) Implementation attempt of a proposed method how to use data and 5) Collection of flight operational data. Based on Rasmussen’s model of a dynamic socio-technical system, the aviation system of interest ranges from “A single European Sky” to regulators, national legislation to flight operations, training, and the work on flight deck as well as political and financial pressures on the airline. The conclusions drawn from this comprehensive scope is reliant on the author’s domain knowledge acquired from some 30 years of experience in the aviation industry. Several barriers against the use of performance data for knowledge and learning improvements are identified. The airline monitoring systems are not ideal for specifically i measuring automation related problems and flight crew – automation interactions. Due to the already high flight safety levels, new performance measurement processes and activities are neither prioritized, invested in nor explored. When a proposed data-use method was attempted to be implemented it showed difficulties in finding causalities and relationships between available airline parameters. With unclear causality between various parameters recorded and actual outcomes, it is difficult for airlines to use data available as a source for confident training design. This is also the case for the selection of Safety Performance Indicators, that often are outcome based at a high level. More cross-system integration may render the current measurement systems insufficient to understand difficulties and possibilities in the greater aviation system. Potential for improvement related to the use of data, knowledge and learning are also identified. Flight crew show a high acceptability towards a proposed learning concept based on normal flight data. A greater emphasis of using indicators showing airline adaptability and flexibility is proposed. Also, moving from a scheduled training activity mindset to a wider learning and knowledge management and sharing concept is suggested as a cost-efficient way forward. Increased utilization of normal operational flight data should be used for this purpose and have potential to contribute to both efficiency and safety in aviation. This thesis contributes to airline performance measurement and flight crew training knowledge. Results from this research is valuable in other highly automated safety critical domains with a high acceptance of performance being measured and analyzed. ii Sammanfattning Den ökade automatiseringen har påverkat piloternas arbete i flygplanets cockpit. Den gemensamma europeiska flygtrafik-forskningen, som i stor utsträckning sker inom ramen för Single European Sky ATM research, SESAR, syftar till att utveckla det europeiska flygtrafiksystemet. SESAR har identifierat automation som en viktig faktor för förbättrad prestanda. Flygsystemet kan ses som ett komplext stort sociotekniskt system. Detta system påverkas och belastas av interna och externa faktorer på alla systemnivåer. På arbetsprocessnivå kan arbetet på flight deck ses som ett Joint Cognitive System. När olyckor eller incidenter trots allt inträffar är det idag vedertaget att se till systemet som en helhet för att kunna förstå vad som hänt i stället för att skuldbelägga individer. Samtidigt, när flygsäkerheten förbättras blir det färre incidenter och olyckor att dra lärdom av vilket ökar vikten av att förlita sig på data från dagliga, normala operationer för att förbättra verksamheten vidare. Piloters utbildningsmiljö förlitar sig alltmer på information och insamlade data om enskilda flygbolags specifika operativa miljö. Genom flygbolagens system för prestandamätning samlar de in stora mängder data om deras verksamhet. Dessa data är emellertid inte i ett format som är användbart för traditionella studier av stora, komplexa socio-tekniska system, eller för studier av ett Joint Cognitive System. Dessutom styr regelverk, ekonomi och andra begränsningar flygbolagens användning av uppgifter som samlas in, vilket påverkar hur utbildning kan utföras. Syftet med denna forskning är att öka kunskap om hur utbildningsinnehåll och inlärningsmöjligheter för piloter relaterar till flygbolagets system för prestandamätning, givet den mycket automatiserade dynamiska miljö piloter befinner sig i. Mot denna bakgrund undersöks i denna avhandling hinder och möjligheter för systemförbättringar för att stödja piloter i driften av de automatiserade flygplanen. Inom ramen för avhandlingens empiriska studier har olika forskningsmetoder använts: 1) Systemanalys med Rasmussens modell för ett sociotekniskt system involverat i riskhantering som ramverk, för att beskriva luftfartssystemet, främst med ett perspektiv från piloter och deras automatiserade arbetsmiljö, 2) Intervjuer av piloter, 3) Workshops med grupper av piloter och säkerhetskontorspersonal, 4) Implementeringsarbete av en föreslagen metod för hantering av data och 5) Insamling av flygoperativa data. De empiriska uppgifterna i denna avhandling baseras främst på två forskningsprojekt, HILAS och Brantare, båda med tydliga mål för kunskapsgenerering och lärande bland deltagande organisationer. Med Rasmussens ramverk för sociotekniska system som modell, ges en omfattande beskrivning av komplexiteten inom luftfartsindustrin. Denna beskrivning sträcker sig från det Europeiska projektet Single European Sky, tillsynsmyndigheter, nationell lagstiftning till flygoperationer, utbildning och till arbetet på flight deck. Även politiska och ekonomiska påtryckningar på flygbolaget berörs. De empiriska uppgifterna tolkas mot författarens 30- åriga domänkunskap inom flygbranschen. Flera hinder för systemutveckling identifierades. De existerande mät- och övervakningssystemen är inte idealiska för att specifikt mäta automatiseringsrelaterade iii problem, inklusive interaktion mellan piloter och de automatiserade systemen. På grund av de redan höga flygsäkerhetsnivåerna kan investeringar i och kartläggning av nya processer för t.ex. prestandamätning ges låg prioritet.

AIRCRAFT AFFECTED All models of Scottish Aviation Bulldog 2. REASON FOR ISSUE The Bulldog Full-Scale Fatigue Test has demonstrated that the critical (life-limiting) fatigue feature of the aircraft type is the wing-to-fuselage (stub wing) main spar joint. Depending upon whether an individual aircraft is, or has been, fitted with a fatigue meter, so the cleared safe life of this critical joint may be expressed in terms of either Fatigue Index or flying hours. Whilst there are several references to this subject within Service Bulletins and other Bulldog technical publications, there remains some doubt amongst owners regarding the meaning of Fatigue Index and its relationship to flying hours. The aim of this Service Letter is to draw together the relevant facts from the various references on the subject, to explain the concept of Fatigue Index (FI), and to advise owners of Bulldogs fitted with fatigue meters of the current requirements for fatigue data collection and calculation. The letter also gives planning advice regarding other life-limiting features of the Bulldog and an overview of work in progress regarding a modification for retrospective installation of fatigue meters. 3. FATIGUE DATA 3.1 General Every metal aircraft suffers fatigue damage caused by the reversals and fluctuations of load applied to the airframe during all phases of operation.

The entries in this guide are arranged by company name and include a history of each company, particularly its formation and that of subsidiaries together with mergers and take-overs. Brief details of the records, the relevant accession numbers and any limitations on access are given. Where the records have been listed this is indicated. A glossary of terms specific to the subject area is also included, together with an index. Background to the Collection The Museum's archive department began collecting records in the late 1960s and targeted a number of firms. Although many of the deposits were arranged through formal approaches by the Museum to companies, a significant number were offered by company staff: a significant example is the Supermarine archive (AC 70/4) including some 50,000 drawings, which would have been burnt had an employee not contacted the Museum. The collections seem to offer a bias towards certain types of record, notably drawings and production records, rather than financial records and board minutes.

  • CASM-Monograph-CF-100
    CANADA AVIATION AND SPACE MUSEUM AIRCRAFT AVRO CANADA CF-100 MARK 5D Introduction The Avro Canada CF-100 was an all weather fighter nicknamed the Canuck; compatriot Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) F-86 Sabre pilots good-naturedly called it the “Clunk” or the “Lead Sled” compared to their own lighter mounts. It was the first jet fighter completely designed and built in Canada. While Canada had manufactured over 16,000 aircraft for military needs before and during the Second World War, almost all were of British or American design and built under license. Due to Canada’s small population size and relatively small tax base, Canada was somewhat dependent upon foreign governments towards obtaining aircraft to meet Canadian requirements. The CF-100 was the earliest aircraft designed and built specifically for Canadian military needs during the turbulent Cold War era. This monograph describes several aspects of the Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck in four parts as follows: Part 1. CF–100 Design History and Development; Part 2. Aircraft Weapons and Systems; Part 3. CF–100 Operational Squadrons and Employment; and Part 4.
