AVIATION FLIGHT SAFETY

Abstract

The article deals with issues concerning aviation flight safety. We know that air transport will continue to grow, it has a good relative safety record but pulbic perception focuses on total accidents rather than relative safety. This has led to the setting of ambitious new safety targets for air transport whose attainment will require improved knowledge of causes of accidents and better understanding of the effects of new technologies and procedures, Human factors and operational environments are key elements while aircraft design construction and maintenance, together with ATC operations and accident mitigation, also play important roles.
