Analyzing Aircraft Maintenance Associated with Human Factors in Naval Aviationby John DoeA Research ProjectSubmitted to the School NameIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirementsof Course School NameDateAbstractThe primary purpose of this project is to identify ways to improve naval aviation safety through research and analysis of aircraft maintenance and how it correlates with the human factor. Aircraft maintenance is crucial to everyday operations to prevent loss in flight hours for pilots to maintain proficiency, ensuring the safety of personnel aboard, extending the life of the aircraft, and be mission-ready at all times. However, poor maintenance can result in mishaps if proper maintenance is not conducted correctly, leading to complacency, which can also contribute to the loss of an operational aircraft needed for combat operations. The scope of the research will focus on all elements of aircraft maintenance relating to naval flight operations throughout the naval fleet. Possible factors such as scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, qualifications, pilot training requirements, and accident rates will be evaluated. Through critical thinking research, the researcher will also assess how the influence of human factors such as maintainer dependency, complacency, pilot error, and mode of failure has played in the effectiveness of aircraft maintenance. In conclusion, the rationale for both aircraft maintenance and human factors with their relevancy to aviation is presented.Keywords: aviation, safety, maintenance, human factorsAnalyzing Aircraft Maintenance Associated with Human Factors in Naval AviationStatement of the projectThis paper will analyze aircraft maintenance and human factors in naval aviation and evaluate its effect on the improvement of aviation safety operations. The paper will also discuss how the analysis of aircraft maintenance and human factors can contribute to improving aviation safety and by utilizing proper procedures with quality assurance representatives to ensure mishap investigation and reporting are conducted by investigating, analyzing, and classifying human error associated with aviation accidents. In doing so, the researcher will be able to look beyond the human failure to determine further what caused the human operator to make the error to begin. This will enable a better understanding of human factors; thus, adequate and appropriate safety recommendations could be made. The researcher will also consider reviewing prior accidents that were determined to be caused by human error, evaluate such accidents, and develop new regulations and methods for improving aviation safety.
