Aviation Safety and Security: Utilizing Technology to Prevent Aircraft Fatality
航空安全和保障:利用技术预防飞机死亡
This book focuses on ways to better manage and prevent aircraft-based homicide events while in flight using alternate technology to replace the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and/or Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) functions. While these events are infrequent, the implementation of real-time predictive maintenance allows aircraft operators to better manage both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance events. Aviation Safety and Security: Utilizing Technology to Prevent Aircraft Fatality explores historical events of in-flight homicide and includes relevant accident case study excerpts from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB).
FEATURES
- Explores historical events of in-flight homicide and offers solutions for ways to mitigate risk
- Explains how alternate technologies can be implemented to address in-flight safety issues
- Demonstrates that metrics for change are not solely for safety but also for financial savings for aircraft operation
- Includes relevant accident case study excerpts from the NTSB and AAIB
- Expresses the need for real-time predictive maintenance
