Abstract

This article is dealing with a human factor and the effects of the human factor on aircraft accidents. This paper contains definitions of an aircraft accident and discusses the types and an origin of errors within the frame of human factor. Another part of this report frames the theoretical basis and main concepts associated with an error and human factor, like the SHELL model, Reason’s model, as well as CRM and MCC systems which are very important when defining this issue. This paper contains graphic illustration of aircraft accidents that took place in Slovakia since the year 2000. In the final part, serious global accidents are mentioned of which all have a common denominator, and that is the absence of a team work. This part of the paper includes change propositions which should benefit in elimination of the errors, and therefore, in cut-down of human factor proportion in aircraft accidents.
