Creating an Effective Aviation Safety Management System Program

Introduction

                This project will discuss how to create and implement an effective aviation safety management system program.  The research into this topic will examine current aviation safety programs and regulations.  Understanding the foundational resources such as the international policies of International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO) and the national policies of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will assist in the reading of this project.  The development and implementation of a safety program in the aviation industry is essentialby means of providing a system to identify hazards and risks that will assist in safety decision-making.  This project will research past history of safety in the aviation industry and how it has evolved throughout the years.  Advances in technology, experience, and aviation science have changed safety protocol considerably in the aviation industry.  Much effort will be used into the development of this project such as information and data gathering of past and present programs, the analysis and evaluation of human factors associated with past mishaps, and the interpretation and implementation of laws and regulations, both internationally and nationally.

Program Outcomes to be Addressed

Critical Thinking

                “The student will apply knowledge at a synthesis level to define and solve problems within professional and personal environment” (ERAU, 2014).

                Through research in the current aviation industry, the project will explain how to effectively implement a safety management system program.  The project will exercise the use of critical thinking by defining current and past obstacles that have arose in the aviation industry and the processes developed to alleviate them.  This project will demonstrate this skill by incorporating successful safety programs such as the 5M Model, SHELL model, and evaluating human factors and their effects in the industry.  Additionally, the project will cover the FAA roles and implementations of the program. 

Quantitative Reasoning

                “The student will demonstrate the use of digitally-enabled technology (including concepts, techniques and tools of computing), mathematics proficiency & analysis techniques to interpret data for the purpose of drawing valid conclusions and solving associated problem” (ERAU, 2014).

                The project will consist of compiled research from various sources to include graphs, charts, and spreadsheets of current and past aviation mishaps.  This will demonstrate the use of quantitative reasoning by researching data that has been procured throughout the years tobuild a safety program that will ensure a successful proactive and predictive program approach. 

Information Literacy

                “The student will conduct meaningful research, including gathering information from primary and secondary sources and incorporating and documenting source material in his or her writing” (ERAU, 2014).

                To ensure that the utmost reliable safety program will be presented, the project will only use information gathered from creditable sources.  Information literacy will be demonstrated through careful research and analyzing of many sources before it will be applied to the project.  This information will be gathered through sources such as creditable Internet sites, textbooks, case studies, and current aviation rules and regulations.

 

 

Communication

                “The student will communicate concepts in written, digital, and oral forms to present technical and non-technical information” (ERAU, 2014)

                The project will be effectively organized and presented to ensure that all program outcomes have been met.  The use of software programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint will be used to construct and present the project.  With the use of these programs, anexceptional presentation using graphs, tables, and other digital communications will demonstrate the communication program outcome skill.

Scientific Literacy

                “The student will be able to analyze scientific evidence as it relates to the physical world and its interrelationship with human values and interests”(ERAU, 2014).

                To fulfill the scientific literacy program outcome, the project will use the research of present successful safety programs.  The data extracted will be analyzed and used to identify the key factors needed to employ an efficient safety management system program.  These factors will ensure that the knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts and processes required for personal decision-making will be met.

Cultural Literacy

                “The student will be able to analyze historic events, cultural artifacts and philosophical concepts” (ERAU, 2014).

                The history in development of aviation safety programs will be discussed to provide the importance of today’s current regulations.  Analyzing past mishaps and the route that the aviation industry has taken to prevent reoccurrence of these events will be examined.  Also discussed, will be how the aviation culture has transformed from reactive to proactive and predictive.

Lifelong Personal Growth

                “The student will be able to demonstrate the skills needed to enrich the quality of life through activities which enhance and promote lifelong learning” (ERAU, 2014).

                Lifelong personal growth is essential in the aviation industry to ensure further growth in development of safety programs.  As advances in technology develop, improved safety programs and practices will become available.  Along with these, regulations will continue to change in the industry to ensure the utmost safety.  Therefore, it is necessary to continuously promote academic growth in an organization.  Continuing education through degree programs, certifications, seminars, and training will ensure this program outcome will be met.

Aeronautical Science

                “The student will demonstrate an understanding and application of the basic and thus advanced concepts of aeronautical science as they apply to the aviation/aerospace industry for solving problems” (ERAU, 2014).

                Developing and implementing an aviation safety program requires extensive knowledge of aeronautical science.  Understanding the concepts of the aviation industry and using that information to build a successful program will be demonstrated throughout this project.  Research into the safety, human factors, aeronautical science, regulations, and current aviation operations will be used to develop the most effective safety program possible.

Aviation Legislation and Law

                “The student will engage and discuss to present an understanding and application of basic concepts in National and International Legislation and Law as they pertain to the aviation/aerospace industry” (ERAU, 2014).

                The project will thoroughly cover the local, federal, and state regulations that pertain to an aviation safety management system program.  Many regulations provide the basis for creating and implementing a safety program.  Specifically, ICAO Annex 19, AC 120-92, and other FAA Orders will be discussed to ensure that the program conforms to all regulations before implementing.

Aviation Safety

                “The student will compare and discuss in written and spoken formats an understanding and application of basic concepts in aviation safety as they pertain to the aviation/aerospace industry” (ERAU, 2014).

                This project will provide an in-depth analysis of the requirements set forth by many organizations in creating and implementing an aviation safety program.  Safety is everyone’s responsibility in the workplace and ensuring that everyone conforms to the safety program is paramount to its success.  Many programs and regulations will be discussed that are implemented to improve safety in the aviation industry.

Aviation Management and Operations

                “The student will present and illustrate an understanding and application of management activities as they apply to aviation/aerospace operations” (ERAU, 2014).

                This project will discuss how the role of management creates the foundation to establish a successful safety program.  It requires the organization to examine its operations and decisions.  Continuous improvement of safety can be accomplished through methods including employee reports and data collection.  Analyzing and interpreting this data can be used to enhance the safety culture of management and employees.
