Abstract

Under emergency conditions, due to lack of situational awareness, a pilot may get trapped or biased during the decision making process. The time constraint during emergency condition demands quick action for the safety of the aircraft, crew and passengers. In the present research, the aircraft is treated as a system and interactions among the components are studied using object-oriented modeling to detect abnormalities. The present aircraft safety program model (ASPM) detects bias and handles human factors by providing feasible safety steps. The experienced pilots’ heuristics which are quick workable solution requiring less or no analysis are provided to break the bias and decision trap leading to enhanced aircraft safety. According to System-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP), the safety should be incorporated into the design of the system by emphasizing the interactions among the system-components and the necessary constraints that must be enforced. STAMP has been applied in the present research ASPM by using object-oriented modeling.  Keywords: Aircraft safety program, bias, biosensors, Boeing 777, feasible safety step, heuristics, object-oriented modeling, sequence diagrams, speech recognition, STAMPCite this Article Parminder Kaur Wadhwa, Paramjit Singh Bilga.
