Summary In view of the fact that runway safety-related accidents constitute to account for the largest portion of all accidents and have resulted in a great number of fatalities, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Assembly resolution A37-6 urged states to enhance runway safety. According to the statistics of Aviation Safety Council in Taiwan, runway safety-related accidents/serious incidents take the major portion (50.7%) of all types of flight occurrences. They shared 35 out of 69 turbojet and turboprop occurrences during 1998-2015, and most cases were caused by human errors. Therefore, investigations of human errors in runway safety related occurrences will be valuable.
The goal of this research is to analyze human factors resulted in aviation mishaps and developing strategies to prevent accidents. The ASC-HFACS based on HFACS model will be used to analyze human factors to 33 runway safety-related accidents to explore influence routes within flight occurrences from organizational management to individual operation level. The content analysis of the accident reports shows that skill-based errors, decision errors, and physical environment are the most frequently occurring categories influencing flight occurrences. The analysis of associations suggest that physical environment, condition of operators, supervisory competence, and organizational culture/climate issues are deemed the most potent for accident occurrences. To reduce the runway related accidents resulting from skill-base and decision errors in flight operations the “paths to failure” relating to these organizational and human factors issues must be addressed.
