Perceptions of Just Culture Between Pilots and Managers

Airline safety can be improved when errors and incidents by aircrew are openly reported and justly investigated. Trust and functioning of the reporting system are critical for the success of a just safety culture. In this study, interviews and surveys were used to investigate the similarities and/or differences in perceptions of pilots and managers within several airlines about perceived just culture. Results indicate that decisions about culpability, the line between acceptable an unacceptable behavior, and the result of introducing more consequences are perceived differently by pilots and managers.

2018 saw a sharp increase in air crash deaths: visualizing and evaluating risk

Theoretical basis Risk literacy matters for business students. A significant aspect of decision-making is accurately evaluating the risks involved in a decision. Research shows that many people are challenged to understand simple, health-relevant risk rates and probabilities. It also shows that many people are functionally innumerate, even educated people like doctors. While there is much academic work in health aimed at understanding how to communicate health risks to patients, an important personal area for business students, there are many industries and organizations where understanding risk is important for business students’ careers. This case provides opportunities for business students to practice these skills. Research methodology This is a secondary-data, compact case. The impetus for the case was a blog and the data gathered is primarily from Aviation Safety Net, Worldbank, Airlines.org, International Air Transport Association and Statista.com. Case overview/synopsis Coming across a blog headline, a professor is dismayed at the message: 2018 saw a sharp increase in air crash deaths. Questioning that the headline is appropriate and that the number of fatalities is an appropriate measure, the professor sets out to analyze airline safety data. Complexity academic level This case is intended for undergraduate or graduate students in an introductory business analytics course. The focus is on using and communicating risk rates and visualization.

SMS, Safety Culture, and the Four Pillars of Safety Applied to Airline Pilot Training

The history of airline safety includes both FAA economic and safety measures that have grown over the years. This article provides a timeline of airline safety trends from crew resource management to safety management systems. Industry challenges are identified to include operational constraints, training challenges, economic concerns, and human factors to indicate a necessary paradigm shift from reactionary strategies toward proactive measures required by a safety culture—reporting culture, just culture, flexible culture, and learning culture. A safety culture is the foundation for safety management systems (SMS) mandated by the FAA for airline operations, to include the four pillars of safety: safety policy, safety risk management, safety assurance, and safety promotion. This article will identify how to integrate SMS, safety culture, and the four pillars of safety into the airline pilot training environment with cost effective strategies to improve safety within an SMS framework supported by a safety culture.

Airline safety management system issues: a practitioner’s perspective

Purpose This study aims to introduce the reader to some problems faced by safety practitioners operating within an airline safety department, particularly risk assessment subjectivity, and processing of flight data monitoring events. In doing so, it attempts to propose solutions to these issues. Design/methodology/approach Quality management tools, including six sigma, in combination with flight data monitoring, are proposed as a solution to the issues identified. Findings The proposed solutions reduce the subjectivity of some risk assessments and help airlines to efficiently process flight data monitoring events. Research limitations/implications This paper presents a two-part case study of how these issues have been dealt with by an airline. However, as demonstrated by the literature review, there seems to exist further advanced methods, some of them still in a developmental stage, to deal more effectively with the problems discussed. Originality/value This study is particularly directed and more valuable to small-scale airlines. These are more susceptible to the lack of resources needed to implement advanced approaches into the safety management system, but still want to adopt a systematic way of conducting business. Furthermore, it highlights common issues faced by safety practitioners in airlines and should hopefully stimulate the discussion around the topic and promote other academics/practitioners to share viable solutions.

Air transportation is something that is currently very loved by almost every society, this is because air transportation has a fast, up-to-date and efficient mobilization, but transportation with this airplane mode if it is not accompanied by qualified safety rules will have a negative impact on every individual who uses it. hence from that society and government must be more wise in enforcing existing legal rules for the sake of creating security and safety in the flight itself, because flight is one of the safest transportation according to existing data, therefore in order to maintain the good name of air transportation, especially aviation, there is a need for compliance with any existing regulations that have been determined by the government, cannot be arbitrary. in flight it upholds the meaning of safety and security for every passenger and cabin crew, because it is the priority of every airline safety is the dead price for each mode of transportation. so that air transport modes, especially airlines, are getting better, then we need to work from ourselves in safeguarding every word and behavior that can endanger the safety and security of aviation.
