ABSTRACT

Study of aviation accidents in general came to conclusion that aviation accidents are always caused by more than just a single factor. They are often caused by teh combination of mistakes, whiche singe failure itself doesnt have to neccesarly cause the critical situation. As long as the crew is not able to break teh chain of smaller mistakes by correct procedure, it can lead to exhaustion of physical resources able to solve more compliacted mistakes, which in a long term can lead to a cathastrophe, human as well as financial losses. In these cases we talk about the failure of crew—incorrect management of human resources on board of a plane. Listed facts certainly show the decrease in number of incidents and increase in safety of flights could be achieved by better training of pilots. There are many areas which could lead to the improvement of this. They mainly include teh increase in the technical knowledge among the crew, improvment of trained processes and procedures and in gaining more experience during the practial traning of pilots. The improvement of practical training of pilots could be the key factor to the overall improvement in safety onboard. In a relation to this it is very necessary to specify basic critical elemnts of the practical training. For this purpouse we created a survey presented to the target group. The result of this survey shows over 66% of particiapnts havent noticed any effort from authorities to improve traning processes of pilots (60 respondents) At the same time all participants of this survey agreed on the fact that its of esence to pay a lot of attention to this issue. Based on results its easy to say that introduction of new technologies and new processes during training of pilots and personal on board would increase teh effectivnes of the training and the safety of flights, leading to the decrease in number of aviation incidents, meaning less financial and especially human losses.
