Why are human factors the leading cause of aviation accidents?

This is a scholarly article because it is peer reviewed and I received the source through the Hunt Library and used the peer reviewed scholarly filter. It also has work cited and it does not attempt to persuade the reader. The first reason I chose this scholarly article was because of the title, it directly relates to my research, and I have been working in Naval Aviation my entire career which makes it very relatable to me personally. Second was the objective of the research that was conducted. The objective states that the research was performed to better understand external factors that influence aviators that are involved in a mishap. This scholarly reference will greatly help me conduct my research because it uses examples of real-life incidents and breaks down why human error had such a big role in the accidents.

This article is also scholarly because it is peer reviewed and has work cited and references to the research that was conducted. The source is also very lengthy as a ton of research was conducted on how human factors impact the aviation community. I also used the Hunt Library and used the scholarly peer reviewed filter. The source I chose this second scholarly reference due to the title and it directly relating to the research that I will be conducting. This source uses the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), which play a very important role in my research because it is one of the few systems in place that actually analyze human factors and classifies each type. With using the HFACS system in the research it will help me answer both of my research questions with statistics and real-life incidents that occurred.

This journal is scholarly due to it being peer reviewed, longer than 10 pages and has work cited. The journal also does not try to persuade the reader and I used the Hunt Library scholarly peer reviewed filer. I got lead to this source because of the title. The title directly relates to myself as an aviation mechanic, and it intrigues me to find out the conclusion of their study and to see how they can help prevent mishaps in the future. Aviation maintenance is one of the leading causes in aviation accidents and human error is to blame. This source will help support my topic by focusing on one of the leading causes in aviation accidents. The source breaks down human factors strictly related to aviation maintenance and does a study to help prevent it in the future. With the study being performed it will help me see why human errors are the leading cause of accidents.
Schmidt, J., Schmorrow, D., & Figlock, R. (2000). Human Factors Analysis of Naval Aviation Maintenance Related Mishaps.Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting,44(22), 775778. https://doi.org/10.1177/154193120004402273
This research article talks about how human error has always been the leading cause of mishaps in Naval Aviation. This article discusses and researches how human errors not only affect aircrew but also maintenance personal. They conducted research on 470 Naval aviation incidents and accidents and used the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System to determine how big the impact of human factors was. The source is very credible due to its length bibliography and the source is also from the Hunt Library. The article is a little bias due to the fact that most of the information is written by Navy personal and is about Naval Aviation. Not everyone is always going to spill all the beans on their own organization.
Seagle, J. D. (1997).Unmanned aerial vehicle mishaps a human factors analysis.
This book analyzes how even the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) world has problems with human factors relating to mishaps. In just one year the Navy had 206 mishaps in the UAV community and almost all of them were due to human error. This will help me conduct my research paper because it will help me narrate to the reader just how big human factors are in aviation. Most people would not think that the drone community has the same problem as fighter or commercial jets. The book is not bias due to the author and research personal not being part of the Navy. This source also is very credible because it is from the Hunt Library and covers the right information in regard to human factors.
Boeing. (n.d.). AERO – MEDA Investigation Process. https://www.boeing.com/commercial/aeromagazine/articles/qtr_2_07/article_03_2.html.
This article says that in the initial days of aviation roughly 80 percent of accidents and mishaps were caused by the airplane or the machine itself and only 20 percent were due to human errors (Boeing, n.d.). In todays current aviation world, the numbers are completely vise-versa with human errors at 80 percent and the machines at 20 percent. This source also talks about how a Maintenance Error Decision Aid can help reduce the effects of human error. This source is very credible since it is from Boeing, one of the leading companies in aviation. This source will bring in another way to mitigate human errors.
FAA . (n.d.). Human Factors . AMT_Handbook_Addendum_Human_Factors. https://www.faasafety.gov/files/gslac/courses/content/258/1097/AMT_Handbook_Addendum_Human_Factors.pdf.
This source defines and breaks down exactly what human factors in aviation are. With exact definitions, history and science I will be able to show the reader what all human factors entail and how they are broken down into categories. This source is very credible because it is from the Federal Aviation Association that is in charge of private and commercial aviation in the United States and works hand in hand with the National Transportation Safety Board which are the ones that investigate transportation accidents.
National Academies Press. (n.d.). Read “Improving the Continued Airworthiness of Civil Aircraft: A Strategy for the FAA’s Aircraft Certification Service” at NAP.edu. National Academies Press: OpenBook. https://www.nap.edu/read/6265/chapter/7.
This article talks about how human error effects every aspect of the aviation world with aircrew to air traffic controllers. The National Academies Press says that human error is the number one factor involving aviation accidents and gives us ways to help improve the statistic. This source is credible due to the accuracy and relevance of human factors in the aviation community. I have not heard of the National Academies Press before but they have a numerous number of articles talking about aviation accidents and they work with the FAA to help mitigate aviation problems.
SKYbrary. (2020, March 21). SKYbrary Wiki. The Human Factors “Dirty Dozen” – SKYbrary Aviation Safety. https://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/The_Human_Factors_%22Dirty_Dozen%22.
This article talks about the Dirty Dozen which is twelve of the common human error preconditions (SKYbrary, n.d.). With breaking down what the Dirty Dozen is, the article also talks about different countermeasures that can be done. This source is very credible due to the authority and accuracy of the information. This will help me with my research because the Dirty Dozen play a huge role within human factors and will help illustrate to my reader just how serious they are as well as expanding the definition.
Johnson, B. (2018, March 5). How to Tell the Human Factors Story Using Accidents and Events. StackPath. https://www.aviationpros.com/tools-equipment/insurance-finance/aircraft/article/12396371/how-to-tell-the-human-factors-story-using-accidents-and-events.
This article explains exactly what the title states, How to Tell the Human Factors Story Using Accidents and Events. With the use of real accidents, the article relates exact details that relate to human errors causing an accident with learning opportunities about each accident. This source is credible due to the authority of the author. The author teaches human factors that contribute or cause accidents and has been doing it since the 80s. This will help complete my paper with the learning opportunities that are presented with each real accident.
