Product Description
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) bears a significant share of the responsibility for ensuring the safety of domestic and international air travel. The NTSB relies on teamwork to resolve accidents; the "parties" that participate in an investigation may include manufacturers and operators, as well as the Federal Aviation Administration. This arrangement works well under most circumstances, despite inherent conflicts of interest that may jeopardize, or be perceived to jeopardize, the integrity of the NTSB investigation. The NTSB's ability to lead investigations and to form expert teams is also seriously threatened by a lack of training, equipment, and facilities; by poor control of information; and inadequate aids to project management. Additionally, the need to modernize investigative practices and procedures is particularly acute. In this report, RAND outlines a comprehensive set of recommendations intended to help the NTSB strengthen the party process, create a more expansive statement of causation, modernize investigative procedures, streamline internal operating procedures, better manage resources, maintain a strategic view of staffing, streamline training practices, improve facilities for engineering and training. ...

Product Description
Chapters: Spanish Navy Air Arm, Civil Aviation Accident and Incident Investigation Commission, Sacta. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 18. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Spanish Navy Air Arm is the naval aviation branch of the Spanish Navy. The Spanish Navy Air Arm acquired its first aircraft carrier in 1967 and named her the SNS Dédalo (R01). This light aircraft carrier saw combat action as the USS Cabot (CVL-28) in the Pacific during the Second World War, while in service with the US Navy. In 1972 the loan was converted to a sale and the Dédalo became property of Spain. In May 1988, the SPS Principe de Asturias (R11) entered service with the Spanish Navy. This new-build V/STOL aircraft carrier was entirely constructed in Spain and features a distinctive 12 degrees "ski-jump" ramp for launching the AV-8 Harrier fighters. The Principe de Asturias replaced the Dédalo as the main aircraft carrier and flagship of the Spanish Navy. The Spanish Navy retired the obsolete Dédalo in 1989 and the all Harrier and helicopter operations were transferred to the Principe de Asturias. A Spanish Navy AV-8 Harrier II making a vertical landing on the aircraft-carrier Príncipe de AsturiasThe Spanish Navy has operated Harriers for over thirty years. The first batch of six Hawker Siddeley AV-8S single seat and two TAV-8S two seat aircraft were delivered to the Spanish Navy throughout 1976. A second batch of four AV-8S aircraft was delivered in 1980. The aircraft's official name is Matador, although the distinctive large air intakes led to the nickname "Cobra". All of the AV-8Ss were operated by 8 Escuadrilla (8 Squadron), based at Naval Air Station Rota, as were all other Spanish Naval Aviation Squadrons. The early model AV-8S received company when the Spanish Navy took delivery of the EAV-8B M...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=11083301 ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Read
I enjoyed reading this book which I found to be fascinating and enlightening. The case studies on several past accidents were particularly illuminating in explaining why serious aircraft accidents and incidents happen.

The book provides a comprehensive coverage of aircraft accidents, highlighting the major causes and how similar accidents can be prevented in future. The author rightly emphasizes on human factor issues which are the cause of most airplane incidents and accidents. The author methodically and clearly highlights the five main causes of accidents namely human factors, weather, mid-air collisions, mechanical failure and runway incursions. The writing style is easy to follow and understand.

This is a fantastic book which is recommended reading for those with an interest in preventing or reducing aircraft incidents and accidents.

2-0 out of 5 stars 80% of the book is copy and past of NTSB reports
I was disapointed by this book. The author ideas are very intersting and deserve 5 stars. However, every chapter starts with very few pages of text then continues with a copy/past of NTSB reports. The book has about 500 pages more than 400 arn't original work but just publicly available accident reports.

5-0 out of 5 stars Aircraft Safety : Accident Investigations, Analyses, & Applications, Second Edition
Very well written and researched.This book breaks down each accident with CVR transcripts and lessons learned.A must of an
Aircraft Safety reader.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good General Accident Analysis
I am not sure what Shari Krause's Ph. D. is in, but I would guess psychology given the human factors emphasis evident in this book. Indeed, human factors play an overriding factor in many if not most accidents and she gives good and bad examples of Cockpit Resource Management (CRM) and Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) in the numerous case studies in this book.

The book is designed in broad categories of accident types (for example, 'Weather' and 'Mid-Air Collisions'), which are further broken down by specific hazard type ('Thunderstorms' and 'Turbulence', for instance) and illustrated with case studies largely taken from NTSB reports. Most of the case studies are excellent, and her analysis is generally quite good, although her specific systems knowledge is occasionally not up to speed (for instance, in the L-1011 autoflight discussion of EAL 401, and in the hydraulic system discussion in the 737 rudder hardover accidents). The minor systems errors and misconceptions found in these sections would be virtually undetectable to someone who had not flown the specific aircraft in question, and at any rate are mere annoyances at worst. The overall level of analysis is good enough that trivial details don't take away from the greater points she makes.

Overall, the book is a quite comprehensive text and should be read by pilots and aviation personnel of all experience levels. Her discussions of weather accidents and runway incursions were superlative. Particularly well covered were icing and microburst accidents, though I think she went a little far in her discussion of 'giant anteater clouds'.

Distractions for me were what I thought were a relatively large number of typographical errors, including the very annoying, often repeated (likely spell check induced) "HIS" instead of "HSI". The systems quibbles were minor as well, but nonetheless a distraction in some instances. The effort to make the book 'current' by including the Air France Concorde accident was a mistake. The summary presented was evidently taken from a sole internet source and completely devoid of useful information.

On balance, I think this is an excellent effort, and should be read by all pilots, the earlier in their career, the better.

5-0 out of 5 stars A fascinating and a valuable read
What one sees in second edition of Aircraft Safety : Accident Investigations, Analyses, & Applications, is a comprehensive look at why serious aviation accidents and events occur.Dr. Shari Krause looks at over 40 aircraft incidents and accidents, analyzes why they occurred, and offers suggestions to avoid future calamities.

Krause concentrates on four probable accident cause areas (human factors, weather, mid-air collisions, mechanical failure) and highlights the perspectives of pilots, crewmembers, air traffic controllers, and the National Transportation Safety Board.

Many of Krause's conclusions center on two areas, pilot error and failure to properly use the technology.Many of these pilots are not some newbie's who read a for dummies book, or are recently certified via some technology boot camp.They are professionals that have spent thousands and tens of thousands of hours in the cockpit. These commercial pilots have physicals every six months, and spend significant amounts of time annual being retrained and tested.

These commercial pilots work in cockpits whose avionic hardware costs millions of dollars.Yet with all of this, these same pilots often don't think and attempt to land during an active thunderstorm, fly their airplane into mountains (officially known as CFIT (Controlled Flight Into Terrain), and more.

The book is fascinating and a valuable read. ... Read more
