The examination of civil aviation security has started to be examined in more detail after the first successful sabotage event in 1971. The purpose of the study is to determine the affecting factors to the number of sabotage events between the years 1979-2018. The Vector Autoregressive Model was used to analyze this relationship. In the time series model, the series was examined beginning from the year 1979, the beginning period of the crew resource management concept. In this year, human factors also started to be examined in civil aviation accidents. While the number of casualties and the number of total passengers in the events negatively affect the number of sabotage in the short term, their effects disappear in the long term. It was found that the number of commercial passengers had a positive effect on sabotage in the short term. This situation suggests that sabotage events trigger terrorist acts against commercial passengers in order to make an impression in the world. For this reason, the rules should be structured in the most effective way to prevent sabotage events.

Prior research has investigated ground and air transportation industries independently; however, few people have considered the impact driverless cars will have on commercial aviation. This study created a regression equation to predict what type of individual would prefer driverless cars over commercial flights. Participants ( n = 2,016) provided demographic information, individual travel behavior, and preference for the two travel modes in two stages. Stage 1 created an equation through backward stepwise regression. In Stage 2, participants' scores were predicted using the Stage 1 equation compared to their actual scores to validate the Stage 1 equation through the four scenarios. Significant predictors from all scenarios were Upper Social Class, Vehicle Affect, Airplane Affect, and Vehicle Comfort. These factors accounted for nearly half the variance from the data. The equation was then tested in Stage 2 tested using a t -test, correlation, and comparison of cross-validated R 2 . The model fit was demonstrated to be strong in all scenarios. These predictors will aid in identifying possible early adopters of autonomous vehicles. Implications of the findings with suggestions for future research are discussed in detail in this study.

Across the globe, civil aviation authorities (CAA) require pilots to be examined upon completion of their flight training and at regular intervals to uphold their pilot’s license. These flight examinations, or checkrides, are conducted by designated flight examiners and CAA pilots. While government employees are dispatched to different locations to conduct such exams, designated check airmen may only conduct checkrides that have limited coverage in the geographic area in which those exams are allowed. Thus, if the demand for checkrides at a given location is higher than the number of available designated flight examiners, those employed by the CAA may have to travel to satisfy the need for checkrides, incurring additional costs to these organizations. This paper aims at developing an optimization model using linear programming to find the optimal number of checkrides at different locations that minimizes the total travel cost of government check airmen (GCA) conducting checkrides, considering specific travel costs between locations. Based on a realistic set of initialization parameters, the optimal solution showed a minimal travel cost of $35,827.30 for six months. This model could be applied to other areas that may face a similar decision-making process.

Despite the increased awareness of gender and race equality movements, today's population of minority women in aviation is still underrepresented. This research focused on underrepresented minority women who want to pursue a career in the aviation field and what factors affect their level of success in a specialized aviation higher education institution. There is not enough data and research surrounding the topic of minority women in aviation and their paths to success in these institutions. This qualitative research aimed to bridge the existing gap in the literature related to minority women in aviation and their needs and wants to complete a four-year degree. The research objective was to raise awareness for equality of race and gender in aviation higher education institutions and explore the needs and wants that could lead to academic success for minority women. The qualitative research design brought in six students who identify as a minority woman defined by conditions set upon by the researchers, and they were asked a list of questions in a semi-structured interview format. The qualitative data collected from in-depth interviews helped identify significant aspects and patterns that minority women in aviation recognize as needs and wants that could lead to academic success. Open communication, friendship and community, and positive faculty support were identified as the perceived needs and wants of minority female students in aviation. These findings can be used to better serve underrepresented students in an aviation specialized higher education institution. In conclusion, the findings can be used to bring awareness on an issue that is not widely studied or discussed in educational aviation institutions.

The presence of human factors in aviation remains a critical area of research given the safety implications of human error. Understanding what specific factors contribute to human error allows managers and operators to take steps to mitigate these hazards. Several methods have been tested in the cockpit and cabin crew environments, but less attention has been given to the aviation maintenance sector, despite the prevalence of accidents resulting from human error. With the introduction of AC-172A, the FAA validated the need for additional research and training on the role of human factors in aviation maintenance errors. However, a key component in this process is often overlooked--the role of decision-making. In aviation maintenance, the environment can change rapidly. Technicians must react and adjust their behavior, and their decision-making abilities, accordingly. Human factors such as fatigue, pressure, and distractions can interrupt cognitive processes and judgment, and in turn, decision-making. As technicians adapt to these environmental challenges, strategies must be in place to facilitate optimal decision-making. Recommendations for addressing the presence of human factors in aviation maintenance and the resulting impact on the decision-making process include taking both a proactive and reactive approach to human error identification. Proactively screening for individuals who are too risk-averse or too comfortable with taking risks can help hiring managers employ the right personnel equipped to make appropriate decisions in high consequence industries, such as aviation. Additionally, by encouraging and reviewing hazard reports, steps can be taken to mitigate human error factors in the future. Anonymous hazard reporting tools such as the REPAIRER allow maintenance managers to leverage existing (and FAA-required) safety management systems (SMS) by including a human factors analysis.
