This book focuses on ways to better manage and prevent aircraft-based homicide events while in flight using alternate technology to replace the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and/or Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) functions. While these events are infrequent, the implementation of real-time predictive maintenance allows aircraft operators to better manage both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance events. Aviation Safety and Security: Utilizing Technology to Prevent Aircraft Fatality explores historical events of in-flight homicide and includes relevant accident case study excerpts from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB).

FEATURES

Explores historical events of in-flight homicide and offers solutions for ways to mitigate risk

Explains how alternate technologies can be implemented to address in-flight safety issues

Demonstrates that metrics for change are not solely for safety but also for financial savings for aircraft operation

Includes relevant accident case study excerpts from the NTSB and AAIB

Expresses the need for real-time predictive maintenance

Stephen J Wright is an academic Professor at the faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Tampere University, Finland, specializing in aviation, aeronautical engineering, and aircraft systems.

Industry Reviews

"...This text is particularly well organized and presents a useful historical perspective on in-flight security, supported by a selection of case study information. Detailed chapters on aircraft technologies, including recording and usage of flight data and flight control information, current processes for minimizing loss of aircraft due to safety issues, and recommended modifications to existing processes and aircraft provide an outline of how technology supports prevention of fatality and aircraft loss...Overall, Wright presents a sweeping overview of a specialized topic in aviation not often discussed in textbook format. A fine introduction to in-flight aircraft security."
