Team-Based Human Factors in Aviation
Team-Based Human Factors in Aviation (Communication)
Teams are
important in the work setting since they take into account the fruitful
execution of errands that now and then surpass the abilities of one
person. Teamwork is crucial for the Runway Safety team in aviation, as they
work together to prevent any malfunction which may lead to accidents. The team
ought to include delegates from aerodrome tasks, air traffic specialist co-ops,
carriers or airplane administrators, pilot and air traffic controller
affiliations, and other groups with a direct inclusion in runway tasks (Federal
Aviation Administration, 2019).
Human factors are those conditions responsible for the imbalance of the
body's normal capability to perform effectively, such as fatigue, communication
and stress (Wise, Hopkin, & Garland, 2016). Some challenges that the runway safety team is faced with are
incursion, excursion and confusion. The main challenge of focus is the
incursion, and this is an event at an aerodrome including the erroneous
presence of an airship, vehicle or individual on the secured territory of a
surface assigned for the arrival and departure of the airship. Runway
incursions often prompted critical mishaps with fatal outcome. Despite the fact
that they are not a recent issue, with more air traffic, runway incursion
continues to increase (FAA, 2019).
A deterioration in communications among controllers and pilots or airside
vehicle drivers is a typical factor in runway incursions. The accompanying
proposals, known as best practices, will upgrade the wellbeing of runway
activities through the steady and uniform use of existing ICAO arrangements,
prompting consistency and more noteworthy situational mindfulness. Some of
these are, support utilization of the terminologies and legitimate voice
rhythm, prescribe controller use of the electronic RID (Runway Incursion Device), furthermore, the IDS (Information Display System) as a guide to forestall
runway attacks (PHAK, 2016). Use the electronic RID with red lights for runways and golden
lights for neighboring zones (cutting, gear, and so forth.).
