The Analysis of Hot-Air Balloon Accidents by Human Factor Analysis and Classification System

Öz:

Although hot-air balloon accidents are infrequent with respect to the total number of flights, the rate of hot-air balloon accidents has shown a significant increase over the past two decades. The aim of this study is to classify the previously identified causal factors of hot-air balloon accidents. 103 NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) accident reports were analyzed, and the causal factors of hot-air balloon accidents were classified by using HFACS (Human Factors Analyzing and Classification System) as a framework. The relative importance of factors contributing to hot-air balloon accidents was established. We found that environmental factors were the most significant contributing factors, followed by skill-based errors as the second-highest contributing factors. Our results will contribute to countermeasures for preventing future reoccurrences of hot air balloon accidents and incidents, and may provide an insight into high-risk factors which are associated with the severity of balloon crashes.

Sıcak Hava Balonu Kazalarının İnsan Faktörleri Analizi ve Sınıflandırma Yöntemi ile Analizi

Öz:

Sıcak hava balon kazalarının sayısı gerçeklesen toplam uçuş sayısına nazaran seyrek olmasına rağmen, kaza oranları son yirmi yılda büyük ölçüde artış göstermiştir. Bu çalışmada, sıcak hava balonu kazalarına sebep veren faktörlerin sınıflandırılması amaçlanmıştır. İnsan faktörleri analizi ve sınıflandırma yöntemi kullanılarak Ulusal Ulaşım Güvenlik Kurumu tarafından hazırlanmış 103 adet sıcak hava balonu kazası raporu analizi yapılmıştır ve bu kazalara sebep veren faktörler sınıflandırılmıştır. Bu kazalara sebep veren faktörlerin önem dereceleri elde edilmiştir. Kazalara sebep veren faktörler içerisinde en yüksek oranda çevresel faktörler ve ikinci olarak yetenek hataları bulunmuştur. Bu çalışmada elde ettiğimiz sonuçlar, sıcak hava balonu kaza ve kırımlarının gelecekte tekrar meydana gelmesini engelleyecek önlemlere katkıda bulunacaktır ve kazaların ağır sonuçlarıyla bağlantılı önemli etkenlerin iç yüzünün anlaşılmasını sağlayabilir.
