International Aviation Safety and Security Conference

摘要

Held at Olympia, London in conjunction with two related events, the IASS Conference and Exhibition 2003 took place over 3 days. The speakers addressed a variety of issues, the first day being concerned with the state of the industry; the second day with human factors and the final day discussed technology and design in safety. Among a distinguished panel of speakers, Hugues van der Stichel, Airbus Experimental Test Pilot, detailed the company's initiatives for safety and security with particular reference to the A380. A review of the most frequent accident categories has led the company to ten right things to do first. For aircraft design: prevent loss of control in flight, know where you are anywhere in the world, know where the obstacles are, know where the other aircrafts are, and know where the hazardous weather is. Aircraft operation should enhance pilot knowledge, skills and abilities; mandate the use of stabilised approaches; and enhance the maintenance programme. In the domain of data and sharing of lessons learned, it is important to implement flight standards, and put the data sharing concepts in place.
