The FAA oversees the safety aspect of civil aviation. The Office of Aviation Policy, Planning and Environment leads the agency’s strategic policy and planning efforts, coordinates the agency’s reauthorisation before Congress, and is responsible for national aviation policies and strategies in the environment and energy arenas, including aviation activity forecasts and economic analysis. The Office of Government and Industry Affairs is the principal advisor and representative on matters concerning the Congress, aviation industry groups, and other government organisations. The FAA is also involved in bilateral aviation negotiations, though only playing a supporting role.
Identification of risk factors for air traffic controllers’ unsafe acts based on online reviews

Introducing Chinese ATC service norms before discussing risk factors can help to understand the risk factors for unsafe acts of controllers better. Chinese controllers work in institutions including civil aviation airports, Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) regional air traffic management bureaus or CAAC air traffic management sub-bureaus. Among them, civil aviation airports include civil transport airports and general aviation airports. Their operating institutions are generally airport group companies, which are enterprises in nature. In the hub city, the controller’s work unit is the CAAC regional air traffic management bureau or CAAC air traffic management sub-bureau, which belongs to the public institution but adopts the enterprise management mode, and the controller is the staff of the public institution. In regional airports, the work units of controllers are generally civil transport airports or general aviation airports, and controllers are employees of enterprises.

The respondents were aircraft maintenance employees working in aircraft maintenance organizations operating under the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Agency (CASA), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) system or in military organizations. The questionnaire was distributed in English and no respondent required its translation into a different language. Respondents were recruited in two different phases: phase 1. contacted through their managers as their company agreed to participate in the survey andphase 2. contacted directly by the principal investigator.
Using Neural Networks to predict HFACS unsafe acts from the pre-conditions of unsafe acts
Published in Ergonomics, 2019
HFACS was originally designed as a framework for analysing human error in US naval aviation accidents (Wiegmann and Shappell 1997; Shappell and Wiegmann 2000) however, it has also demonstrated its applicability to the analysis of large-scale data-sets of incidents and accidents, such as the analysis of accidents in US commercial aviation (Wiegmann & Shappell, 2001a, 2001b; Shappell et al. 2007); US general aviation (Shappell and Wiegmann 2003, 2004); Australian general aviation (Lenné, Ashby, and Fitzharris 2008); African aviation (Munene 2016); Bangladeshi civil aviation (Rajib and Fan 2015); Taiwanese military aviation (Li and Harris 2005, 2006a, 2013); Taiwanese civil aviation (Li, Harris, and Yu 2008); Indian military aviation (Gaur 2005); Australasian military operators (Hooper and O’Hare 2013); offshore helicopter operations (Omole and Walker 2015); and uninhabited air vehicles (Tvarnyas, Thompson, and Constable 2006).
