Previous research has shown that HFACS can be reliably used to identify general trends in the human factors associated with military and general aviation accidents. The aim of this study was to extend previous examinations of aviation accidents to include specific aircrew, environmental, supervisory, and organizational factors associated with 14 CFR Part 121 (Air Carrier) and 14 CFR Part 135 (Commuter) accidents using HFACS. The majority of causal factors were attributed to the aircrew and the environment, with decidedly fewer associated with supervisory and organizational causes. Comparisons were made between HFACS categories and traditional situational variables such as weather, lighting, and geographic region. Recommendations were made based on the HFACS findings presented.Human error and commercial aviation accidents Aircraft accidentsHuman factorsResearchUnited StatesAircraft accidentsInvestigationUnited StatesAircraft accidentsUnited StatesClassificationAeronauticsSafety measuresAircraft accidentsHuman factorsResearchAircraft accidentsInvestigationAircraft accidentsAeronauticsSafety measures.Shappell Scott A313620United States.Office of Aerospace Medicine.United States.Federal Aviation Administration.Civil Aerospace Medical Institute.Clemson University.Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.Mayo Clinic.GPOGPOBOOK9910695368003321Human error and commercial aviation accidents3429209UNINA
