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.).
