1 FLIGHT SAFETY Technology and the Human Factor A pilot s perspective by Prof. dr ir J.A. Mulder Delft University of Technology

2 Contents How safe is it? The common causes of accidents The Flight Deck: past, present and future. Automation and Situation Awareness Review of a famous accident Lessons learnt How safe will it be?

3 Dependent Failures Independent Events Dependent Events A B A B P (A & B) = P (A) P (B) P (A & B) > P (A) P (B) P (A & B) = P (A) P (B/A)

4 The pilots of an Air France Airbus A330 that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean two years ago apparently became distracted with faulty airspeed indicators and failed to properly deal with other vital systems, including adjusting engine thrust, according to people familiar with preliminary findings from the plane's recorders. The Wall Street Journal (2011 May 24, Pasztor, Michaels)

5 The aircraft slowed to a stall shortly after the autopilot disconnected. The pilots faced a series of automation failures and disconnects related to the plane's airspeed sensors. Within 4 min 28 sec 16ACARS fault messages were sent to home base on faults resulting from these unreliable airspeed sensors (display indications, auto thrust, TCAS,..). Loss of Situation Awareness.

6 More examples of common cause accidents LY1862, 1992 OO-DLL, 2003 UA232, 1989 JA8119, 1985 El Al LY 1862, 1992: Pylon failure DHL OO-DLL: Hit by missile Japan Airlines JA8119: Lost vertical tail United Airlines UA232: Engine desintegration

17 So, we have to do better!

18 Better Safety & Performance by: Technical advances in Aerodynamics, structural design & materials, systems Engines Avionics (Fly by Wire, Glass cockpit, triple redundant auto flight systems with autoland, Flight Management System (FMS), TCAS, GPWS) Human Factors Crew Resource Management (CRM) Automation Situation awareness Training, checking

19 Flight deck (r)evolution LOW SITUATION AWARENESS

20 Ironies of automation

21 Aircraft are opensystems water out electricity water in

22 Aircraft are opensystems

23 But automation will proceed

24 Crew Resource Management (CRM) 80% of non-technical accidents due CRM failure: individual pilots do not crash airplanes, crews do Good leadership: be a strong leader, but not autocratic delegation of responsibilities communicate, support, joint decision making Pilot training in CRM missions in flight simulator videotaped sessions, debriefing

25 Human-Machine Interface (1) Intuitive 3D perspective display

26 Human-Machine Interface (2) low situation awareness Display of commands, do what you are told. CPA 5 NM PZ IF (t CPA < look-ahead) AND ( CPA < 5 NM) THEN conflict = TRUE ELSE conflict = FALSE

27 Human-Machine Interface (3) optimal situation awareness Ecological display, see what you should do! min max

28 Last resort: Care-free handling and navigation!

29 On October 4 th 1992 a Boeing F freighter aircraft, Flight LY 1862,departing from Schiphol, crashed into an apartment building in the Bijlmer neighborhood of Amsterdam killing 43 people.

30 Flight LY 1862 failures Structural failure pylon eng # 3 due to fatique Destruction of wing pylon eng # 4 Wing leading edge damaged Loss of hydraulic systems 3 and 4 Loss of electrical systems Partial and complete loss of control surfaces Reduced thrust, increased aerodynamic drag Asymmetrical thrust, aerodynamic asymmetry Asymmetrical mass distribution

34 What was learnt? Extreme example of common cause Situation awareness was poor on aircraft status, lateral navigation and vertical navigation (kinetic and potential energy management) Unaware of reduced safe flight envelope Workload (manual control) prevented high level decision making

35 Defenses against Common Cause failures Improved design, materials, maintenance, systems Automation to reduce crew workload Focus on ways to improve situation awareness Crew resource Management & training Advanced measures which will exploit (remaining) physical options for survival in case of.

36 Advanced Flight Control:YES! All transport aircraft will be Fly by Wire Much redundancy in sensors, systems, control effectors, aerodynamics, computers (infinite capacity) Controllers work with nonlinear aircraft dynamic models (NDI) On-line model identification, sensor integrity checks, use all information to estimate state Adaptation, reconfiguration, control allocation, keep aircraft in computed adapted safe flight envelope Care free maneuvering, navigation

37 How safe will it be? Automation (and systems)! Need still Human Pilot, open system Support the pilot through improved Situation Awareness The unthinkable is bound to happen sometime. Not 100% but close, very close.
