The Role of Aircraft Recorders in Human Performance Investigations

1983-10-03
831414
Efforts to learn the reasons why these apparent errors in behavior or performance occur have been largely speculative until Flight Data Recorders and Cockpit Voice Recorders became available in large transport aircraft. Two accidents are examined in which the data provided by the aircraft recorders were employed to explain the underlying reasons for the sequence of events that culminated in the accidents. ...Two accidents are examined in which the data provided by the aircraft recorders were employed to explain the underlying reasons for the sequence of events that culminated in the accidents. ...It is concluded that aircraft recorders are essential basic tools of the human performance investigator requiring quality, dependability and state-of-the-art equipment to refine the investigative methodology of human performance investigations.

Air Transport Flight Parameter Measurements Program – Concepts and Benefits

1980-09-01
801132
A program is described in which statistical flight loads and operating practice data for airline transports in current operations are obtained from existing onboard digital flight data recorders. These data, primarily intended for use by manufacturers in updating design criteria, were obtained from narrow-body and wide-body jets.

The Seat Interference Potential as an Indicator for the Aircraft Boarding Progress

2017-09-19
2017-01-2113
Passenger boarding is always part of the critical path of the aircraft turnaround: both efficient boarding and online prediction of the boarding progress are essential for a reliable turnaround progress. However, the boarding progress is mainly controlled by the passenger behavior. A fundamental scientific approach for aircraft boarding enables the consideration of individual passenger behaviors and operational constraints in order to develop a sustainable concept for enabling a prediction of the boarding progress. A reliable microscopic simulation approach is used to model the passenger behavior, where the individual movement is defined as a one-dimensional, stochastic, and time/space discrete transition process. The simulation covers a broad range of behaviors and boarding strategies as well as the integration of new technologies and procedures.
