Safety Risk Management of Human Factors in Flight Operations with The Royal Thai Air Force Vertical Take-off and Landing Solar Power UAV According to The Standards of The International Civil Aviation Organization
Keywords:
safety risk management, UAV, human factorAbstract
This research is action research. The objectives are (1) to assess the safety risk management of human factors in flight operations with the Royal Thai Air Force Vertical Take-off and Landing Solar Power UAV according to the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization and (2) to design best practices for human factors in the safety risk management of the Royal Thai Air Force Vertical Take-off and Landing Solar Power UAV. This research employed methods of conducting research in conjunction with research and development projects of the Vertical Take-off and Landing Solar Power UAV of Navaminda Kasatriyadhiraj
Royal Air Force Academy according to the NATO Standard AEP-83 Light Unmanned Aircraft Systems Airworthiness Requirements in the topic of safety risk management by studying concepts, theories, and related research and conducting analysis, evaluation, and designing best practices. The results of this research provide pilots with good risk mitigation best practices for controlling and preventing human error in various fields and conducting operational audits, including a preliminary preparation checklist for pilots and a minimum equipment list for pilots. The researcher took the Preliminary Preparation Checklist for Pilot and the Minimum Equipment List for Pilot to teach pilots and to have pilots test the use of 10 times and found that the Royal Thai Air Force Vertical Take-off and Landing Solar Power UAV can operate safely 10 times (100%).
