Flight safety

1. How do you understand the term flight safety?

(Air safety is a term encompassing the theory , investigation and categorization of flight failures, and the prevention of such failures through regulation, education and training)

2. Why is flight safety one of the key requirements for civil aviation?

(Because aviation security is safeguarding civil aviation againstacts of unlawful interference)

3. What are the main factors influencing flight safety?

(Man, machine, environment)

4. What do you mean by the term ‘man’ as a contributive factor to flight safety?

(we mean human factor. Their relation with other people, with machine, equipment and procedures)

5. Does ‘man’ as a cause factor contribute a lot to the flight safety? Yes

6. What do you mean by the term ‘machine’?

(by the term machine we mean an aircraft and its design)

7. How can technical factor (‘machine’) influence flight safety?

(Modern aircraft design therefore attempts to minimize the effect of any hazard)

8. What do you mean by the term ‘environment’?

(the environment in which aircraft operation take place, equipment is used)

9. How can ‘environment’ influence flight safety?

10. How is ‘environment’ factor classified?

(natural, man-made)

11. What is the subdivision of man-made environment?

( physical and non physical)

12. Which part of the environment influencies the flight safety greater than the other one? Why?

(Elements of natural environment)

13. Give the examples of natural environment.

(Temperature, wind, lightning, mountains , rain,ice , hail)

14. Give the examples of man-made environment.

(ATC, airports, navigation aids, landing aids)

15. Give the examples of physical and non-physical parts of the environment.

(non-physical: national and international legislation, orders and regulations, standarts operating procedures etc.)

16. Give the examples of man-made environmental hazards.

17. Explain the term ‘human factor’.

(Human role in aviation)

18. How can you define the term ‘accident/incident’?

(incident- without dies , accident is a case with victims)

19. What are the main causes( причина) of accidents and incidents?

(human factor)

20. Which cause facror of accidents is considered to be the most important nowadays?

23. What systems were developed to reduce risks of accidents and incidents? (CNS/ATM, GPWS, CRM)Relationship Management System

24. What does CNS/ATM, GPWS, CRM stand for? Say a few words about them. Relationship Management System

25. What is the purpose of the Ground Proximity Warning System?(to reduce the number of accidents when mechanically worthy AFT collide with the ground)

26. Do you agree that hazards are also found in the design, manufacture or maintenance of AFT?

28. What is CFIT?

( controlled flight into terrain)

29. What are the reasons for CFIT?

(human error)

30. What is done nowadays to prevent these phenomena?

(CFIT prevention program is worked out and adopted by ICAO)
