Sokolowski Associated risks in flying have resulted in injury or death to aircrew and passengers, and damage or destruction of the aircraft and its surroundings. Although the Naval Aviation's flight mishap rate declined over the past 60 years, the proportion of human error causal factors has stayed relatively constant at about 80%. Efforts to reduce human errors have focused attention on understanding the aircrew and maintenance actions occurring in complex systems. One such tool has been the Naval Aviation squadrons’ regular participation in survey questionnaires deigned to measure respondent ratings related to personal judgments or perceptions of organizational climate for meeting the extent to which a particular squadron achieved the High Reliability Organization (HRO) criteria of achieving safe and reliable operations and maintenance practices while working in hazardous environments. Specifically, the Maintenance Climate Assessment Survey (MCAS) is completed by squadron maintainers to enable leadership to assess their unit’s aggregated responses against those from other squadrons. Bayesian Network Modeling and Simulation provides a potential methodology to represent the relationships of MCAS results and mishap occurrences that can be used to derive and calculate probabilities of incurring a future mishap. Model development and simulation analysis was conducted to research a causal relationship through quantitative analysis of conditional probabilities based upon observed evidence of previously occurred mishaps. This application would enable Navy and Marine Corps aviation squadron leadership to identify organizational safety risks, apply focused proactive measures to mitigate related hazards characterized by the MCAS results, and reduce organizational susceptibility to future aircraft mishaps. This dissertation is dedicated to my family, especially Anne and Andrew, for their support and understanding. I am grateful to my father, Captain “Fast Eddie” Robinson, U.S. Naval Reserve, who introduced me to Naval Aviation and my mother, Deborah Lowenthal Robinson who pinned on my wings of gold. The research conducted and detailed here within is for the men and women who ardently serve in the United States Navy and Marine Corps. Their determination and spirit is the bedrock of Naval Aviation which enables the capability to V ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many individuals whom have guided me and supported the successful completion of this dissertation. I extend my sincere gratitude to my committee members for their counsel, advice, and patience on my research and editing of this manuscript. I am very appreciative for the advocacy and mentoring provided by my dissertation director, Dr. Sokolowski. My attendance at his dissertation defense in 2003 as the first doctoral candidate in Modeling and Simulation at Old Dominion University served to be very inspiring. A temporary duty assignment to the Aviation Safety Officer course at the Naval Postgraduate School in 1993 led to my introduction to Dr. Tony Ciavarelli. His instruction in Aviation Psychology served as a firm footing for this research, and his continued support was critical. John Scott, the Data Management and Services Division Head, U.S. Naval Safety Center, was absolutely essential for providing the double blinded data set for the Maintenance Climate Assessment Surveys and Aviation Mishap Summary Reports. Without his effort, accomplished above his normal duties, this research could not have been conducted. I am also appreciative to Rear Admiral George Mayer and Commander Michael Scavone from the Naval Safety Center for their support of this endeavor. I need to publicly recognize the counsel and advice received from both Missy Cummings, Ph.D., of Duke University and former Navy F/A-l 8 fighter pilot as well as Paul Weigand, PhD from the University of Central Florida, Institute of Simulation and Technology. Their suggestions, instructions, and encouragement were critical in starting this effort and bringing it to conclusion.

Purpose. To issue policies and provisions of the Naval Aviation Safety Management System (SMS). The format, scope and content of this revision differ significantly from the superseded instruction. Changes include compliance with reference (a), the establishment of the SMS, removal of message traffic format and the data collection appendices, which were replaced with data collection in the on-line environment, and clarification of mishap exception rules. This instruction is a complete revision and should be reviewed in its entirety. 2. Cancellation. OPNAVINST 3750.6R and per appendix N, safety investigation report (SIR) 3750/1 through SIR 3750/16. 3. Action. All naval aviation personnel shall familiarize themselves with this instruction and other safety directives applicable to them and their assigned duties. All naval aviation activities shall establish and maintain an aggressive naval aviation SMS, which includes the detection, investigation, and elimination of hazards in naval aviation. As this SMS is a relatively new development, within the naval aviation community, the evolution of concepts, policy changes and the implementation of lessons learned are inevitable.

    President’s Page Friends…Colleagues, A colleague and I were discussing graduate stud- ies in human factors when he suddenly blurted out a comment that took me at first quite aback. It went something like, “Well, there is nothing new in aviation medicine or human factors…it’s all the same old stuff rehashed over and over!” My immediate reaction was to less-than-politely suggest that my colleague consider another field of study. However, after some delibera- tion, I realized that there was some truth in what he said. In the end, I merely informed him that, yes, there are some issues that require revisiting a number of times, yet there is also a plethora of areas that aero- Andrew H.
