on airline operating costs. It is estimated that maintenance errors cause: aviation accidents due to human error 20 to 30 percent of engine in-flight shutdowns at a cost of US$500,000 per shutdown. 50 percent of
Aircraft Accidents Due To Human Error
flight delays due to engine problems at a cost of US$9,000 per hour. 50 percent of flight cancellations due to engine problems at a cost of US$66,000 per aircraft accidents caused by human error cancellation. More than 500 aircraft maintenance organizations are currently using MEDA to drive down maintenance errors. One airline reported a 16 percent reduction in maintenance delays. Another airline was able to cut operationally significant events by 48 percent. Many other operators have reported specific improvements to their internal policies, processes, and procedures. In the early days of flight, aviation accidents due to human factors approximately 80 percent of accidents were caused by the machine and 20 percent were caused by human error. Today that statistic has reversed. Approximately 80 percent of airplane accidents are due to human error (pilots, air traffic controllers, mechanics, etc.) and 20 percent are due to machine (equipment) failures. MEDA OVERVIEW MEDA provides operators with a basic five-step process to follow: Event. Decision. Investigation. Prevention strategies. Feedback. Event. An event occurs, such as a gate return or air turnback. It is the responsibility of the maintenance organization to select the error-caused events that will be investigated. Decision. After fixing the problem and returning the airplane to service, the operator makes a decision: Was the event maintenance-related? If yes, the operator performs a MEDA investigation. Investigation. The operator carries out an investigation using the MEDA results form. The trained investigator uses the form to record general information about the airplane, including when the maintenance and the event occurred, the event that began the investigation, the error and/or violation that caused the event, the factors contri
