The Naval Flight Surgeon's Pocket Reference to Aircraft Mishap Investigation. Fifth Edition

Abstract

Aircraft mishap investigation can be extremely difficult, time consuming, stressful, but also rewarding when we recognize that the contributions we make will improve aviation safety. A thorough mishap investigation is absolutely necessary to determine the cascading events causal to a mishap and recommending corrective actions to prevent recurrence. This edition of the Pocket Reference introduces a new tool in accident investigation, the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS). HFACS provides the accident investigator with a proven template that aids in organizing the investigation while providing a detailed analysis of human error for post-hoc mishap data analysis, revealing previously unidentified trends and hazards.
