and Crew Resource Management (“CRM”) Procedures Are the Keys to Avoiding Aviation Fatalities The National Transportation Safety Board (“NTSB”) recently released its statistical data calculating transportation fatalities across all modes of transportation in 2011. There were 494 fatalities human errors in aviation in aviation. The breakdown was as follows: general aviation, 444; air taxi, 41; foreign/unregistered, aviation accidents due to human factors 9; airlines, 0; commuter, 0.[1] In comparing the 2011 data against the prior decade or so, there are certainly positive signs. aircraft accidents due to human error But, like all raw statistics, the numbers are most useful when integrated into a longitudinal data comparison from which conclusions are drawn. The NTSB fatality statistics draw a conclusion that might not be obvious from http://www.denverpost.com/2010/02/13/human-error-is-biggest-obstacle-to-100-percent-flight-safety/ the 2011 data alone: Human error absolutely dominates as the leading cause of aviation fatalities (and injuries). There are two keys to avoiding aviation fatalities: developing and following good SOPs and CRM procedures. This article will examine some of the persistent human causes of aviation accidents, many of which are merely outgrowths of the failure of aviation organizations to develop, adhere to, and not willfully disregard SOPs. The second cause http://olsonbrooksby.com/blog/2013/10/aviation-fatalities-most-are-caused-by-human-error-2/ of aviation fatalities examined in this article is the failure of flight deck crews to follow CRM procedures. Complications that lead to failure to follow CRM procedures include factors such as cockpit chaos; multi-lingual cockpits; failure to maintain cockpit discipline; surprise; and failure, during emergencies, to rely on the crew member with the most flight time, if appropriate given the constitution of the crew as a whole. Accidents Can Be Avoided Through Proper Cockpit Procedures and Compliance With SOPs On September 16, 2013, NTSB Member Robert Sumwalt (“Member Sumwalt”) gave a presentation to the Southern California Aviation Association[2] on the importance of SOPs. Member Sumwalt, quoting from an NTSB accident report, noted that, “[w]ell-designed cockpit procedures are an effective countermeasure against operational errors, and disciplined compliance with SOPs, including strict cockpit discipline, provides the basis for effective crew coordination and performance.”[3] Member Sumwalt then presented facts about what the accident data show regarding crew-caused accidents. In an NTSB study of 37 crew-caused air carrier accidents between 1978 and 1990, procedural errors, such as not making required callouts or failing to use appropriate checklists, were found in 29 of the 37 (78%) reviewed accidents. The accident data also show that, with respect to turbine-powered operations (2001-2010), the NTSB ident
