Laying the foundations of a safe flight | SKYbrary Aviation Safety
Laying the foundations of a safe flight is an initiative of the French Ministère de la Transition écologique et Solidaire/DGCA. Developed in collaboration with aviation stakeholders, this video series promotes good practices to ensure safety during ground operations.
SKYclips (new) SKYclips are a growing collection of short animations of around 2 minutes duration which focus on a single safety topic in aviation. Human Factors Integration in ATM System Design In aviation, Human Factors/Ergonomics (HF/E) is traditionally closely linked to safety. The way safety is understood in the discipline of HF/E determines how HF/E approaches system design.
Description The Single European Sky is an European initiative aimed to enhance safety and efficiency of air transport in Europe by restructuring European airspace as a function of air traffic flows and by reducing the fragmentation of the air traffic management in Europe. The first legislative package (SES I) adopted in 2004 comprises four basic regulations, which reinforce safety and foster the restructuring of European airspace and air navigation services. The regulations provide the framework for the creation of additional capacity and for improved efficiency and interoperability of ATM system in Europe. The second legislative package (SES II) adopted in 2009 comprises two regulations aimed at improving the performance of the European aviation system and extending EASA remit to airports, Air Traffic Management and Air Navigation Services Read the lead article about the Single European Sky.
Description The Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) was founded in 1997 with a goal to reduce the commercial aviation fatality risk in the United States by 80 percent by 2007. To achieve this ambitious goal, the CAST developed and started implementing a comprehensive Safety Enhancement Plan. By 2007, CAST was able to report that, by implementing the most promising safety enhancements, the fatality rate of commercial air travel in the United States was reduced by 83 percent. CAST continues to develop, evaluate and add Safety Enhancements to the CAST Plan for continuing fatality risk reduction. CAST Safety Enhancement Plan provides access to the description of each Safety Enhancement and the related other resources. In addition, there are a number of Safety Enhancements Reserved for Future Implementation (SERFIs) Public versions of the CAST Reports that generated these Safety Enhancements will be posted as they become available.
