Deep dives
Revolution in Aviation Safety
The fatal accident rate of US commercial aviation dropped significantly between 1998 and 2008, marking a substantial improvement in safety standards. This progress was driven by a new system that encouraged pilots, flight attendants, and dispatchers to voluntarily report safety issues and errors, focusing on preventing accidents proactively. The system's shift towards understanding safety and risks in advance rather than reactionary measures significantly contributed to the industry's enhanced safety record. The collaborative efforts of regulators, industry officials, and a focus on changing human behavior played a crucial role in establishing a culture of safety and risk prevention in aviation.
