THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CRISIS MENAGEMENT IN PREPARATION OF THE PILOT

Vladimir Grujić, Dragan Lazić

Abstract


By using the crisis management by the carriers every activity that is included in preparation of the crew and aircraft for the certain task – flight gets new meaningfulness and importance.  Basic advantage in this perception is that everyone has to accept the responsibility, foremost airway authorities and companies. In the airplane accidents such as the one near the city of Buffalo in the United States, investigators discovered the entire string of procedural oversights that led to the crash of the Q400 airplane. NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) initialized the investigation with FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) regarding the secondary activities of the airline carrier, airport authorities, even school centers that provided training for the pilots and technical staff. Launching the investigation resulted in thorough view of this crash so aviation schools, airports, regional carriers and even the authorities were inspected because their oversights led to drastic decrease of the air traffic safety. Specifically here they needed Congress’ approval was needed for every decision made by NTSB. Obviously political consensus is prerequisite to switch from individual to procedural omission analysis, and that begged the question why crisis management wasn’t implemented. Looking at the political situation in Europe it is hard to imagine that European Parliament or the parliaments of countries members of EU or those that intend in becoming full members will give free hand to independent investigators who would investigate every incident in the full and point out individual mistakes of the performer within different systems and ascertain substantial omissions of the crisis management in the given situation. We will use this work to show that complete analysis of the airplane accident can uncover the very problem of responsibility in use of crisis management that is always individual instead of paying special attention to procedural mistakes that ultimately led to the accident. By showing the simulation of the flight TUI TS-LBB from Tuninter we can see huge number of procedural omissions which misled the captain of the flight to make the erroneous decision that resulted in the crash.
