Modelling Approach: selection of Initiating event and pivotal event • Initiating Event • Deviation from normal operation • Active failures (triggering events) • No latent failures (softer/deeper) • Pivotal Event • Event with possible intervention • Different causal pathway • Active failures • No latent failures (softer/deeper) accident scenarios for an integrated aviation safety model
Modelling Approach: Level of detail • Transparency. • Limited complexity at the top layer of the model. • ESD need further detail by means of Fault Trees and Bayesian Belief Nets. • Minimise inter-dependencies of Fault Trees. • ESDs can be quantified with available accident- incident- and flight data. accident scenarios for an integrated aviation safety model
ESD development steps • 1) Individual accidents are analyzed and represented as a sequence of events. • 2) Accident scenarios are generalized per type of accident, initiating event and flight phase. • 3) Generalised scenarios are combined into one generic ESD so that this ESD covers a class of accidents. • Selection of accidents/incidents: ~ past 15 years, commercial air transport, ‘Western built’ aircraft, accident investigation report available accident scenarios for an integrated aviation safety model
Example : Loss of control accident • Accident type: loss of control • Flight phase: en-route/approach • Multiple ways to loose control over the aircraft: different loss of control accident scenarios accident scenarios for an integrated aviation safety model
Loss of control accident scenario initiators • System • e.g. flight control system failure, propulsion system failure • Environment • e.g. wind shear, turbulence, ice • Flight Crew • e.g. spatial disorientation accident scenarios for an integrated aviation safety model
Example • Accident type: Loss of control • Flight phase: En-route/approach • Initiating event: Propulsion system failure accident scenarios for an integrated aviation safety model
