Safety Behaviours - Guide for Pilots

The toolkit "Safety behaviours: Guide for Pilots" was developed by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) with the objective of providing comprehensive human factors information to further support learning within this very important field. For those, who have been already exposed to human factors theory, a Resource Guide, within the toolkit, serves as a good refresher or "top up" of information. There is also a Facilitators' Guide which provides advice to training and safety managers on how to use the resources to gain most value. The Guide provides a stronger focus on the needs of low capacity regular public transport (small regional air carriers) and charter operations, flying training organisations and private operators.

PS. All resemblances to World Flight are of course totally imaginary  :twisted:

As I wrote previously, treating safety as a separate subject within a profession is old fashioned and carries limited results. The advanced concept, which the banking industry incorporated first half a century ago, is nowadays the safety bible. Example:

FAA implemented it in 1998:

USAF entered the realm in 2000, the following will take you through the whole thing in 3 minutes:

Banks? They surely must have screwed something up... unless they just protect themselves from villains "from outside", mixing up security and safety?

If referring to the current economic crisis, I believe experts attribute it to the regulator's fault, although some banking risk management of loan gurantees and investment security wasn't followed. Makes the point even more valid- look at JP Morgan results for now and the last few years.

Further to Jeoren's original post, I came across an interesting Flight International January 2010 summary of  10 years of air accidents, according to which more than 800 people die each year in 31 air accidents. At its bottom is a link to very detailed 2009 airline accident data:

It includes focus on approach and landing issues, cockpit automation, and  research and development of such areas.
