    Area of Science:

    • Aviation Psychology
    • Human Factors in Aviation
    • Decision Science

    Background:

    • Decision-making processes in aviation are not fully understood.
    • Accident investigations often reveal flawed decisions but not the underlying reasons.
    • Improved understanding is needed for pilot training and operational procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the operational impact of decision-making in aviation.
    • To enhance the understanding of cognitive processes influencing pilot choices.
    • To identify areas for improvement in aviation safety protocols.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of data from the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS).
    • Qualitative and quantitative examination of pilot decision-making events.
    • Identification of patterns and contributing factors in reported incidents.

    Main Results:

    • Decision-making errors are a significant factor in aviation incidents.
    • Specific environmental and cognitive factors were identified as influencing pilot decisions.
    • The study highlights gaps in current training and procedural frameworks.

    Conclusions:

    • Enhanced understanding of pilot decision-making is essential for mitigating aviation risks.
    • Recommendations for targeted pilot training programs and revised operational procedures were developed.
    • Further research into human factors is critical for advancing aviation safety.
