Abstract

This study analyzed Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) deployment in the Regional Services of Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention (SERIPA – Brazil) as a support tool to investigate aviation accidents. Such review is justified by the acquisition and use of this equipment and new technology by investigators since 2017. Research aim was to analyze the perception of SERIPA investigators regarding the usefulness and ease of use of the RPAS equipment. We applied an adaptation of the Theoretical Model of Technology. Methodologically, the study was characterized as exploratory and carried out through an inductive logic and qualitative approach. A case study has been done with 14 investigators belonging to six Brazilian SERIPA units. In conclusion, the respondents deem the RPAS to be useful for aircraft accident investigation, and the equipment is of easy use. RPAS was observed as a tool capable of replacing manned aircraft in some crash sites. The external variable, i.e. crash site characteristics, emerged as a factor that influences the use of RPAS, as well as the transport of RPAS in commercial aircraft.

遥控飞机:航空事故调查局部署分析

本研究分析了远程驾驶飞机系统(RPAS)在航空事故调查和预防区域服务(SERIPA -巴西)中的部署，作为调查航空事故的支持工具。自2017年以来，调查人员购买和使用了这种设备和新技术，因此进行了这种审查。研究目的是分析SERIPA调查人员对RPAS设备的实用性和易用性的看法。我们应用了技术理论模型的改编。在方法上，该研究的特点是探索性的，并通过归纳逻辑和定性方法进行。对巴西SERIPA 6个单位的14名调查人员进行了个案研究。综上所述，受访者认为RPAS在飞机事故调查中是有用的，并且设备易于使用。在一些坠机现场，RPAS被认为是一种能够取代有人驾驶飞机的工具。外部变量，即坠机现场特征，成为影响可重复识别系统使用以及商用飞机可重复识别系统运输的一个因素。
