Learning from past incidents can become repetitive. The author of this training module wanted to break away from the industrial theme and utilize interesting case studies from other engineering-related fields. Since the first flight of the Wright brothers in 1903, aviation as an engineering accomplishment has captured many imaginations.
The development of aviation over the last 120 years has gone from flying a few feet off the ground to space travel and space stations. Along with this desire to soar with the songbirds came reasonably acceptable and good engineering design and maintenance practices. Additionally, regulations and training evolved. Even with all the attention and control, accidents and incidents resulting in injury and fatalities still occur.
This course will walk you through three separate aviation accidents that killed John Denver, Glenn Miller and Ricky Nelson. When engineering design, poor maintenance, or unsafe acts occur, it does not matter what industry they happen in, there is a learning value. For the Professional Engineer considering this course, the course also includes a brief review of H.W. Heinrich’s behavior-based domino theory, application of a data trending deep dive in musician aviation incidents, regulatory bodies and regulations, and how Professional Engineers can learn from these events.
