Over Reliant on Technologies That Poses a Greater Safety Concern in Aviation Industry

This presentation discusses the problem of over-reliance on technology in the aviation industry and its impact on safety. It explores aviation legislation, security measures, and safety program outcomes. The presentation also includes a SWOT analysis of the project, highlighting the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with technology in aviation.

AVIATION SAFETY PROBLEM
 The problem identified and solved is the over-reliant on technology.
 The over-reliance on the technology tends to reduce the role of the pilot in
executing the makeable and key system functions as well as operations
(Körber, Baseler, & Bengler, 2018).
 This is not important but also essential since it will assist me in
understanding the level of involvement of technology in the aviation industry.
 At the same I was able to understand the risks associated with the over-
reliant on the technology
Aviation Legislation and Law
The legislations and the laws governing the safety in aviation mainly outlined
as follows
 Federal Aviation Act of 1958 – airport (14CFR Part 137)
 Air Traffic Organization (14CRF Part 71 and 77)
 Air Carrier Certificate and Operations Specifics (OpSpecs 14 CFR Parts 121
and 135)

SAFETY IN AVIATION INDUSTY CONT.
Aviation Security
Security Personnel undertake training course
Have a proper background check
Issued with training certificates
Aviation Management and Operations
• The level of the technological advancement in
the aircraft is what dictates the manual
control and monitoring levels in the aircrafts

SAFETY IN AVIATION INDUSTY CONT.
Aviation Safety Program Outcome
There are different benefits and outcomes
associated with aviation safety program
Some of the outcomes include
 Work satisfaction improvement
 Quality operation and conditions
 Bettering of the aviation safety culture
 Better productivity
 Better health

SWOT ANALYSIS FOR PROJECT
STRENGTH
Technology application and advancement assists
in
Transforming the aircraft cockpit
Reducing the human operator role
Minimizing Human Errors
WEEKNESSES
Inappropriate feedback and User Interface
leading to fatal accidents (Strohmeier et al.,
2016, May).
Decreasing vigilance as a result of
Technology over-trust

SWOT CONT…
OPPORTUNITIES
Help in minimizing the operation costs
Timely Reporting of the security threats
Superiority productivity, quality control and
efficiency (Khastgir et al., 2018, July).
THREATS
Assumptions and over-trusting of the
technology can lead fatal accidents
Losses of the pilot skills
Lack of proper familiarization with the
overall system
