INTRODUCTION
Human factor in aviation basically refers to the better understanding that in which
manner humans can save themselves into more efficient manner with the integrated technology.
This type of understanding basically translated into training, design, procedures or policies to
support humans to perform into better manner. Within the aviation sector, the main human
factors are physiological, physical, psychological and psychosocial factors as well. The role of
human factors within the aviation industry is very significant because they have an impact on the
parameter of safety and in which manner people interact with each other and also act as an
important part of management of safety. The report will cover discussion about the two major air
accidents within the aviation industry. The first accident is about Air Alegerie flight 6289 and
another accident is about Algerian Air Force II-76 crash.
Air accidents
The accident of Air Alegerie flight 6289 just has happened after the five seconds of take
off and it has been also observed that the engine on the left side of the Boeing 737-200 got
exploded. The aircraft has carried around ninety seven passengers and most of them on board are
Algerians(Alonso Tabares and Mora-Camino., 2017). According to authorities information,
among 97 passengers a total of 39 passengers were heading towards Algiers and 58 were heading
towards Ghardaia. This is the flight which crashed near the Trans Sahara Highway where almost
every people got killed which is on the board.

Second Accident( Algerian Air Force II-76 crash)
This accident has happened after taking off from Boufarik airport where 257 people got
killed who was on board and become the deadliest aviation disaster in Algeria. The aircraft also
got crashed outside the perimeter of Boufarik airport which had recently taken off(Kane and
et.al., 2021).According to witness report, it has been observed that the wing of aircraft has caught
fire before the crash.
Swiss Cheese Model
In context to this air accident of of Air Alegerie flight 6289, there is a model which is named as
Swiss Cheese model which help in terms of analysing this accident into appropriate manner. The
reason behind use of this model is that it help in terms of generally demonstrating the failure that
cannot be tracked back to a single root cause and it can be the result of the combination of
factors. The model also suggest that there are mostly accidents which are the result of latent
errors as well and these are the failures which are intrinsic to a machine, procedure or system.
Within the model, every slice of cheese basically represents about the safety barrier or
precaution which is relevant to a specific hazard(Amalberti and Wioland., 2020). This is a model
which is used in risk analysis and management of risks as well which includes aviation safety,
