Civil Aviation Safety Authorities in Australia
Introduction It is important to note that aviation safety is enabled and ensured by a wide range of mandatory practices, policies, assessments, evaluations, and systems. In Australia, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and the Australian Transportation Safety Bureau (ATSB) are key organisations in this regard. In addition, there are central documents that outline the…

Vision in Aviation: To See or Not to See
Eyesight is the most crucial sense for secure flight. Everyone operating the airplane, including the pilot, must always be aware of and steer clear of oncoming vehicles. A crucial aspect of avoiding collisions with other aircraft is monitoring their airspace. Pilots must master a scanning method that makes the most of their vision (AIRBOYD, 2011).…

Atmospheric Phenomena Studies for Aviation
Introduction Even though modern aircraft have sophisticated navigation and communications systems helping to ensure the safety of flight, they are still wholly dependent on the atmosphere, which generates aerodynamic forces sustaining them. Also, all avionics systems for navigation and communications rely on signals that have to penetrate the atmosphere before reaching the flight deck (Frey,…

Why the Aviation Industry Has Repeat Failures
The First Reason: Equipment Malfunctions Companies pay little attention to technologies on board and make unreliable vessels with malfunctions. They also often ignore problems during the inspection and do not modify the devices. Some aviation companies intentionally covered malfunctions of engineering construction by referring to them as typical side-effects of daily operations (Stemn et al.,…

Enhancing Aviation Safety: Monitoring Pilot Fatigue With ECG Signals
Fatigue poses a critical safety risk to civil and military aviation. It may lead to errors that could potentially compromise the safety of the crew and passengers (Pan et al., 2021). For this reason, it is important to study and analyze the effectiveness of various fatigue monitoring systems. To achieve pilot fatigue risk control, health…
