Human error is considered a causal or contributory factor in a major part of aviation incidents. It's also known from relevant research and reports that even the smallest error made by a person can cause fatal results in the aviation sector. In this study, the relationship between factors that contribute to trainee error based on scores achieved in pilot training, such as personality traits, psychomotor abilities, audio-visual memory capacity and quantitative skills of pilots, are determined by means of a multiple regression analysis. In the study, the total number of errors that a sample of 24 civilian student pilots made in initial and advanced flight training was evaluated. According to the results of the regression analysis, it was determined that the errors student pilots made during these flight training periods had a close relationship to their personality traits. For this reason, while selecting student pilots, it's necessary to predict a student pilot's personality traits. Additionally, by taking the factors that are the focus of this study into consideration, the selection of suitable student pilots having a low probability of making errors is possible.

Reliability Assessment of Solid-Propellant Rocket Motors Under Storage and Transportation Loads
Yilmaz, Okan; Kuran, Bayindir; Özgen, Gökhan Osman (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2017-11-01)
A methodology for the assessment of the service life of solid-propellant rocket motors under random storage and transportation loads is presented. In storage conditions, the propellant grain is subject to random thermal environments while during transportation to vibration loads, both of which induce strain and stress. Over long periods of time, storage and transportation cause damage accumulation in the propellant. Aging mechanisms also contribute to the accumulated damage. Thermal loading is modeled as a ...
Examining the approaches of OHS professionals to the reasons for falls from height
Akarsu, Deniz; Özkan, Türker; Department of Occupational Health and Safety (2019)
Except motor vehicles accidents, the death rate on occupational accidents which occur falling from high places or into depths, is higher than any other accidents. According to the importance of the topic, in the study, examining the approaches of OHS professionals to the reasons and effects of occupational accidents which occur as falling from heights is aimed. For this, 100 accident inspection reports from Labor Inspection Board were surveyed. Accident reasons were derived from those reports. Those reasons...
Root Cause Analysis of Air France Flight 447 Accident (1 June 2009)
Azık Özkan, Derya; Özkan, Türker (2019-07-05)
Air accidents are extremely rare events and aviation is the safest mode of transportation. On the other hand, the risk is always present whenever any flights take place (Janic, 2000). Therefore, even identifying the main causes of one accident could be very critical for preventing future crashes that could occur at any point and any time. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the root causes of one of the deadliest accidents in the history of Air France that 228 occupants including the crew and...
Investigating the effects of lightweight recycled bumper and chassis system on vehicle crashworthiness
Gürer, Batuhan; Esat, Volkan; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2016-8)
Accidents are one of the main reasons of death for people across the globe, among which automobile accidents are a major portion resulting in fatalities and various injuries. Crashworthiness is an engineering concept that is used to analyse the ability of vehicle structure to cover and protect passengers in the case of an accident or impact. Crashworthiness aims to affect the design of the structure of the vehicle so that it absorbs as much energy as it can which is sustained from an impact by plastic...
Design and analysis of a mode-switching micro unmanned aerial vehicle
Cakici, Ferit; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (SAGE Publications, 2016-12-01)
In this study, design and analysis of a mode-switching vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with level flight capability is considered. The design of the platform includes both multirotor and fixed-wing (FW) conventional airplane structures; therefore named as VTOL-FW. The aircraft is modeled using aerodynamical principles including post-stall conditions. Trim conditions are obtained by solving constrained optimization problems. Linear analysis techniques are utilized for trim ...
