Several accidents have shown that crew members’ failure to speak up can have devastating consequences. Despite decades of crew resource management (CRM) training, this problem persists and still poses a risk to flight safety. To resolve this issue, we ...

We investigated simulator sickness in jet simulators without motion platforms (Eurofighter), and in a helicopter simulator (EC 135) as well as in a reconnaissance aircraft simulator (P-3C-Orion) with motion simulation. In addition, workload, visual ...

The work of airline pilots is demanding and must be followed by rest periods (slips) so that pilots recover sufficiently well to keep flying safely. When slips occur away from home base, pilots are usually accommodated in a hotel. This paper reviews the ...

Members of the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation have committed themselves to measure and improve safety culture within their organizations by 2013 (). This paper attempts to offer support to air navigation service providers that have ...

Explaining helicopter accidents during night flights via isolated individual factors could be statistically improved. Individual significance tests should be complemented by measures of strength. Furthermore, the focus should shift to the combined ...

Large datasets from aviation accident databases allow for advanced statistical analyses. The results from one such analysis of helicopter night-time accidents show that this type of study is likely to separate the researcher from what can be understood in ...
