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.
