Automação e segurança de voo: uma análise de acidentes aéreos relacionados com tecnologias de automação

Abstract

This research aimed overall to verify how the crew should interact with automation contributing to increased flight safety. The theoretical framework used was the work coordinated by The North American Professor Ken Funk, in which the four most influential questions on aircraft cabin automation were raised. It is characterized as an exploratory research with bibliographic and documentary procedure through books, articles, reports, regulations and laws. Data analysis was made through documents and studies carried out on the aeronautical sector, according to the theoretical basis, as well as the analysis of the Final Accident Reports released by the Center for Investigation and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents. At the end of the research, it is concluded that, due to failures in the interaction of man & automation, generating the limitation of situational awareness, accidents and incidents can occur, at which time actions are presented that can be applied to mitigate undesirable effects.
