Introduction:
The extremely low accident rate for U.S air carriers relative to that of general aviation (∼1 and ∼60/million flight hours respectively) partly reflects advanced airman certification, more demanding recurrency training and stringent operational regulations. However, whether such skillset/training/regulations translate into improved s...

... The study explores various features of TOKAI and suggests integrating with a common language and taxonomy for utilization as a safety management support tool based on past safety occurrences and near misses on day-to-day processes. Cross (2022) argues for reporting positive human performance, especially in challenging circumstances (process surprises). The study conducted in a flying training setting suggests recording the certified flight instructor's (CFI) behavior for resilient performance is related to two stages; 'reporting' and 'investigation.' ...
... Still, the accident record is poor compared to airline operations [2]. While air carriers have improved the accident safety record in the last decades, GA, despite a modest decrease in the accident rate in the previous few years, is still >60 times higher than the accident rate [3]. Prior research has highlighted poor preflight planning routines and a deficient understanding of aviation meteorological conditions as critical elements contributing to the disproportionately high accident and fatality rates observed among beginner private pilots [4]. ...
... Fortunately, the gap in knowledge concerning routine pilot performance is beginning to be addressed with the development of new models, data sources, and observation techniques (Broderick, 2021;Holbrook et al., 2019;Kiernan, 2019;Kiernan, Cross, & Scharf, 2020). The intent of this paper is to continue that trend and open a discussion about how best to study positive human contributions to aviation safety. ...
