TAL038-3: Aviation Safety & Security - Analysis of American Flight 191

This presentation delves into the critical aspects of managing safety and security in the aviation industry, using the American Airline Flight 191 accident as a focal point. It highlights the accident's causes, the subsequent investigation, and the role of safety management systems (SMS) in preventing similar incidents. The presentation covers key elements of SMS, including air traffic control, technology improvements, engineering excellence, human factors control, innovative materials, risk management, fire safety, technical standards, and disaster measures. It emphasizes the importance of prioritizing passenger safety over cost minimization and revenue generation, ultimately advocating for a comprehensive approach to aviation safety that addresses both technical and human factors to mitigate risks and prevent future accidents. Desklib provides numerous resources for students, including similar past papers and solved assignments.

Introduction
 Aviation industry is related to those industry under which the
large number of passengers mover from on place to another
with the help of airways.
 It is one of the most biggest and largest industry of the world in
term of expansion and revenue generation.
 There are many big players operates in this industry such as
Spice jet, American airways British airways and many more.

American airline flight 191
 The American Airline flight 191 accident is one of the
most world aviation accidents happened in the world
because of their huge negative aspects and impacts.
 The American Airline flight 191 was a normal
domestic passenger flight in the united states and this
flight is controlled by the American airline.

Investigation of the report
 The American Airline flight 191 accident is one of the most popular incident of that time
which has huge media coverage and the respected authorities performs deep investigations
about the accident and prepares report which shows different aspect of the incident.
 The national transportation safety boards mentions in their report that the main reason for
the accident is unnatural roll of the aircraft and the detachment of the left wing of the
aircraft over the flight which resulted the exposure of fuel fluids and become flammable.

Safety management systems
 It is related to those series of all procedures and policies which is
developed by the related authorities to protect the passengers of Airways
from aviation accidents.
 These procedures and policies are developed due to increasing number of
aviation accidents which cause large number of lives and loss of property.
 In the recent time the world is seen many accidents under which the
minimum lack of security and maintenance cause huge damage.

 Air traffic control: It is related to those authority and framework which provides
the advice to the aircraft and plane which travels in air. The main aim of Air
traffic control is to protect the flights from collision and different types of aviation
accidents.
 Improve technology and information system: Improve in technology and
information system in Aviation industry can improve its security and safety for
passengers.

Continue…
 Engineering excellence: One of the most hazardous accident for Aviation
industry its engine failure in order to get overcome from this , engineer should
manufacture its engine in most effective manner.
 Human factors control: Controlling human factors in Aviation industry has a
huge contribution in maintaining and improving its safety management system.

Continue…
 Use new materials and computer-aided: By the use of composite materials or
lithium batteries which can help Aviation industry to get innovated in order to
reduce accidents rate and also help in developing its safety management system.
 Develop Risk management system: By developing risk management system in
Aviation industry can improved its safety and also increases its ability in order to
identify or analyse problems before they arrive and become significant issue for
them.

Continue…
 Improving from Fire accident and emergency medical system: Aviation
industry will improving its facilities and take necessary measures in order to make
its safety management system better.
 Improving Technical standard for Aircraft and equipment safety: For
maintaining the safety in aircraft Aviation industry collect, analyse and provide
relevant information of aircraft to its pilots and it also provide them safety
assurance information.

Continue…
 Enhancing the disaster measures and Aviation safety facilities: Many natural
disasters causes various accidents in Aviation industry to get overcome from this
it improve its safety management in order to recover from it .

Concern of organization related to
SMS
According to the above accident of American airline flight 191, the accident
investigation report analyse that by using above safety management system
measures systems, the accident might be avoided and it also help them to get
protected from other accidents which may cause in future in their air line.

Conclusion
 It is concluded from this report that the main aim of the airline company is the
safety of the passengers in place of cost minimisation and revenue generation.
 This report concludes the different aspects related aviation accident American
airline flight 191, their impact on the global environment, global issues and
problems.
