Security Risk Management in Aviation

Introduction

Countries spend a large amount of money in order to establish a secure aviation management system. Several courses training, technical and medical examinations are arranged for pilots, cabin crew, engineers and other professional and technical staff; manuals that restrict the scope to improvise operational decisions , exacting plans aircraft maintenance, and support services 24 hours operable global systems. These warnings converge towards meeting the safety requirement of the airlines (Abeyratne).

Accidents occur when you arrive to break defences that prevent systems in three fundamental aspects : the technological , production notwithstanding flaws found duplicate or triplicate the most sensitive instruments, instruction, lack of adequate response from the pilots and air traffic system to an event, despite their training simulating contingencies of varying severity and ways of coping, and regulations, as are not seen plans, rules and manuals that limit the pilot in making decision to a after emergency alternative behaviours developed operational manuals for the event. In short flight accidents or serious incidents only occur at the confluence of several factors that each of them did not cause. Rarely single point failures have catastrophic consequences in the aviation system (Poole, 2008).

The accident causation model presented states that all accidents comprise a combination of active and latent conditions. The former are acts or omissions that have immediate adverse consequences, and are related to the frontline staff-pilots, air traffic controllers, mechanics. Latent conditions, however, are in the system long before the harmful effect is experienced and become apparent when they act as trigger factors, such as poor equipment design or task planning, business objectives incompatible with defects or security organization (ICAO, Dempsey, P. S. (20022013).

According to James Reason, "the accident" will also have its origin in faulty management decisions and organizational processes, followed by inadequate working conditions that produce errors or violations of those processes, which penetrate the defences of the safety system in terms of technological equipment, training of the personnel concerned and regulatory failures that lead to a whole "accident".

Safety at Airports

 ICAO's "Manual of Airport Services" has devoted Part 7 wing "Emergency Planning Airports", whether originating in air operations and other activities taking place in this area, while airports are places where statistically the most accidents or serious incidents air occur. Typical emergencies in this area are:

The approach, as in the case of the most serious accident in the history of aviation, including two Boeing 747 of KLM and PAN AM conveyor, which occurred on March 27, 1977 at Tenerife airport platform, recorded 644 victims.

The collision of an aircraft in flight against airport passenger buildings or maintenance as the case of the 3054 TAM 17/07/07 at airport.

The collision of a Singapore Airlines Boeing 747 on track with obstacles, such the crane and occurred against a paver machine during the takeoff ramp that unauthorized access to the pilot's error Beacon airport operator Chiang Kai Shek in October 2008, with 83 deaths and 57 serious injuries.
