First embodiment
As shown in FIG. 1, a first embodiment of the present invention provides a method of airline operational security assessment. The method at least comprises the following three steps of firstly constructing an air line operation safety detection plan, secondly executing air line operation safety detection according to the plan, cleaning and classifying collected air line operation safety detection data, and finally associating a data result after cleaning and classifying with various preset characteristics (such as a flight phase, an airport, an air line, a role and the like, and other characteristics can be included), constructing a behavior evaluation index system, outputting an air line operation safety evaluation result corresponding to an air line operation safety detection theme, and providing decision basis for subsequent flight safety management.
The following describes the specific implementation of these steps in detail:
S10, constructing an airline operation safety detection element library and a detection point library according to the airline operation safety detection theme, and forming an airline operation safety detection plan through structural design.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the method includes steps S1 to S3:
s1, designing a plurality of route operation safety detection elements related to the route operation safety detection subject according to the route operation safety detection subject to construct a route operation safety detection element library.
Specifically, the method further comprises the substeps S11-S17:
s11, designing flights and unit information as first detection elements based on flight detection requirements;
S12, designing unit performances of each flight stage as second detection elements based on flight detection requirements;
S13, designing a threat management mode as a third detection element based on threat management requirements;
s14, designing an error management mode as a fourth detection element based on the error management requirement;
S15, designing a UAS management mode as a fifth detection element based on UAS (Undesired AIRCRAFT STATE) management requirements in an unexpected aviation state;
S16, designing a technical description of the unit as a sixth detection element based on the technical capability assessment requirement of the unit;
S17, constructing a safe detection element library for the course operation according to the first detection element, the second detection element, the third detection element, the fourth detection element, the fifth detection element and the sixth detection element.
S2, designing a plurality of detection points based on each route operation safety detection element to construct a route operation safety detection point library.
Specifically, the method comprises the following substeps S21-S27:
s21, designing a plurality of first detection points based on the first detection elements.
The first detection points at least comprise a departure landing airport, an aircraft model, a flight experience of the unit, a post service life, a familiarity degree of the unit and whether to manage the post.
S22, designing a plurality of second detection points based on the second detection elements.
The second detection points at least comprise whether the safety check is in place before taking off, whether the pilot operation is standard and outstanding or insufficient places for each flight phase of the unit.
In particular, the performance of the unit operation is described and recorded in terms of flight phases by detecting that such performance is recorded as structured data. Such as whether management is being performed for a particular threat or error, who is being managed, whether management is valid, etc. According to the detection gist of each flight phase, the detection elements are disassembled and refined, for example, the flight phase can be divided into a pre-flight preparation phase, a cockpit preparation phase, a push-out and slide-out phase, a take-off phase, a climbing phase, a cruising phase, a descending phase, a near landing phase, a slide-in phase, a closing phase and special condition response treatment. For another example, the detection gist of the cockpit preparation includes the execution time of the inspection sheet, the execution time set fix degree of the inspection sheet, the reading definition of the inspection sheet, the answer definition of the inspection sheet, the confirmation implementation degree of the inspection sheet, and the like.
S23, designing a plurality of third detection points based on the third detection elements.
The third detection points at least comprise threat classification, detailed description of various threat management and description of whether the threat management is caused or not.
And forming detection data through the decomposition of the whole threat management process, so as to provide data support for the security assessment index. For example, the detection element threat management manner may be subdivided into various types of detection gist, where the threat management manner related to an Air Traffic Controller (ATC) is defined as threat management by the ATC, and may be further subdivided into several types of detection gist, such as whether the ATC instruction is managed, how to manage, whether to cause a result, whether the ATC instruction content is managed, how to manage, whether to cause a result, whether the ATC instruction is managed later, how to manage, whether to cause a result, and so on.
The unit is difficult to monitor and evaluate in the safety management methods such as flight quality monitoring, four-dimensional track monitoring, safety inspection and the like according to the performance conditions of the threats, but can be used as an explicit detection key point for detection and data recording during the safe detection of the operation of the airlines. For each detection point, corresponding detection data needs to be recorded, and the specific form of the detection data needs to be determined according to the content of the detection point. For example, as mentioned above, the frequently changing ATC instructions are managed, how managed, and result in a result, corresponding to a series of test data records, including the number of times the ATC issues instructions for critical flight phases (including take-off, approach, and landing) N ATC, the minimum time interval of the two ATC instructions for the critical phase I ATC, whether the threat is managed T ATC, who manages the threat (captain, co-driver, crew, etc.), the literal description of the management mode, the classification of the result (no result, UAS, event, symptom, accident) parameters (e.g., may be assigned 0,1,2,3,4, respectively), the literal description of the result.
In addition, threat management brought by ATC also comprises threat management modes such as more instruction content, later change instruction and the like, the management conditions of threat classification are all included in a detection key point library, and detection data corresponding to each threat are collected through the safety detection of the operation of the air route.
And S24, designing a plurality of fourth detection points based on the fourth detection elements.
The fourth detection points at least comprise classification of errors, detailed description of various error management and description of whether the errors result.
Specifically, the errors possibly exhibited by the unit are classified in a structured manner, and a inspector describes and explains the management mode and whether the errors are caused or not when each flight is detected. The errors here may occur either by the captain or by the co-pilot, or by the crew, and the crew-common errors provide data preparation for the evaluation indicators associated with the subsequent character features.
And S25, designing a plurality of fifth detection points based on the fifth detection elements.
The plurality of fifth detection points at least comprise classification of UAS, detailed description of various UAS management and description of whether the UAS management results are caused or not.
S26, designing a plurality of sixth detection points based on the sixth detection elements.
The sixth detection points at least comprise whether the manipulation of each flight phase meets the standards of an airline company, recording and evaluating the resource management behavior capability of a unit, and suggesting improvement of safety, training and flight.
And S27, constructing and forming an airline operation safety detection point library according to the plurality of first detection points, the plurality of second detection points, the plurality of third detection points, the plurality of fourth detection points, the plurality of fifth detection points and the plurality of sixth detection points.
And S3, carrying out structural design based on the route operation safety detection element library and the route operation safety detection essential point library to form a route operation safety detection plan.
In one embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIG. 2, a standard library of test elements and a library of test points are created by disassembling the components of the line operation safety test elements and test points. The function of the detection element library is to define the composition, classification and data format of the detection elements by establishing the classification specification of the detection elements, and the detection elements are independently managed, independently expanded and independently used. The standard detection element specification can normalize and standardize the detection data corresponding to the detection element when constructing an evaluation index scene. By constructing a detection key point library, the key points of the detection elements are thinned and split, and basic detection key points are defined and normalized to construct a complete detection plan.
And S20, performing route operation safety detection based on the route operation safety detection plan, and cleaning and classifying the collected route operation safety detection data.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the method includes steps S4 to S6:
And S4, implementing the route operation safety detection based on the route operation safety detection plan, and collecting route operation safety detection data.
It can be understood that in the embodiment of the invention, through fine classification and structured data acquisition, the man-hour of personnel is reduced by 6-10 times, and the analysis processing task of all the airline operation safety detection data of the company can be completed by only 1-2 people, so that the data quality is ensured to completely meet the requirements of subsequent analysis and utilization.
For example, according to a traditional route operation safety detection mode, according to a 2000 pilot's flight, the number of flight segments detected by an inspector is 200, the analysis and processing of detection data need 300 hours of personnel man-hours, the subsequent pilot flight capacity analysis needs about 200 hours of personnel man-hours, and the two working links can be completed only in a total of about 3 persons for 1 month. The data acquisition mode of the embodiment of the invention can complete the analysis processing of the route operation safety detection data and the flight capability analysis of the pilot only by 1 person for 2 weeks.
And S5, data cleaning is carried out on the route operation safety detection data so as to remove invalid data.
In one embodiment of the invention, the inspector first performs a data self-inspection and the other inspectors perform cross-inspection to complete the data self-inspection process.
The collected line operation safety inspection data is then cleaned and normalized by an auxiliary analyst to clean data that is significantly devoid of element descriptions and threat error signatures.
And finally, rechecking the quality of the route operation safety detection data by an auditor.
Therefore, the effectiveness of the safety detection data of the washed route operation is ensured through the processes of data self-checking, data washing and data rechecking.
S6, acquiring threat information and error information according to the cleaned route operation safety detection data.
Specifically, after the data is washed, the washed data needs to be classified according to the detection key points, so that information which has threat (namely threat information) and information which has errors (namely error information) are obtained.
It will be appreciated that threat information and error information in embodiments of the invention may originate from a variety of aspects, including, but not limited to, the following:
threat information
(1) Severe weather, such as strong wind, storm, lightning, hail, haze, etc., may pose a direct threat to flight safety. In particular, this type of threat information requires the acquisition of weather data, such as wind speed, air humidity, visibility, etc.
(2) Topography factors, such as complex terrain, e.g., mountains, canyons, lakes, etc., may affect the flight path and altitude, increasing the difficulty and risk of flight. In particular, this type of threat information requires the acquisition of terrain data, such as current flight level, mountain height, canyon width, etc.
(3) Air traffic, air or ground traffic congestion, may result in flight collisions and dangerous approaching events. In particular, this type of threat information requires the acquisition of data on the flight path of other aircraft, the number of aircraft in the vicinity, the distance to neighboring aircraft, etc.
(4) The failure of the aircraft, namely the failure of the key components such as the engine, the navigation equipment, the communication equipment and the like, can affect the flight performance and the safety. Specifically, threat information of this type needs to be collected as data of the aircraft itself, such as data of the rotation speed, power, communication failure point, and the like of the engine.
(5) External objects such as 'low slow small' lift-off objects like Kongming lights, unmanned aerial vehicles, kites and the like, and organisms like birds and the like can pose a threat to flight safety. Specifically, this type of threat information requires data to be collected such as the size of the external object, the speed of flight, the distance to the machine body, etc.
Error information
(1) Procedural errors-deviations in the execution regulations or flight procedures, intended to be correct, but defective. For example misplacing the angle of the flap, or forgetting to perform some important inspection step.
(2) Communication errors-communication errors, interpretation errors or no related information are communicated between the crewmembers or with external institutions. In particular, this type of error information requires that specific communication content be collected.
(3) Proficiency errors due to knowledge or mental movement (rudder technique) skill defects. In particular, this type of error information requires the acquisition of specific execution steps, for example, the pilot cannot execute the emergency procedure correctly in case of an emergency, requiring the acquisition of specific execution procedures.
(4) Run-decision errors-errors that are not standardized in the conditions or carrier program and that are unnecessary critical to safety. This usually involves a decision error of the crew in complex situations. In particular, this type of error information requires collection of specific decision-making descriptive content that needs to be provided by a decision maker.
(5) Human errors, such as damage to aircraft and parts, ground equipment, facilities, etc., cause economic losses or potential safety hazards. This may be due to carelessness, mishandling or violation of regulations. In particular, this type of error information needs to be collected for the specific description of the error, which is provided by the error personnel.
And S30, designing an evaluation index, and associating threat information and error information with a plurality of preset characteristics to form an evaluation index system, so as to provide decision basis for subsequent safety management.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the method includes steps S7 to S9:
And S7, associating threat information and error information with a plurality of preset features to obtain evaluation indexes of the preset features and form an evaluation index system.
In particular, in one embodiment of the invention, the plurality of predetermined characteristics includes at least a flight phase characteristic, an airport characteristic, an airline characteristic, and a character characteristic. The flight phase characteristics, the airport characteristics and the route characteristics are corresponding to threat information, so that a flight phase threat index, an airport threat index and a route threat index are obtained based on the threat information, and the character characteristics are corresponding to error information, so that character error indexes are obtained based on the error information.
The following describes in detail how to obtain the evaluation index of each preset feature:
(1) For flight phase characteristics
The flight phases are divided into a pre-flight preparation, cockpit preparation, push-out and slide-out phases, a take-off phase, a climb phase, a cruise phase, a descent phase, a near landing phase, a slide-in phase, a shut-down phase and special condition response handling. Based on threat information, threat severity index and threat management index of any one flight stage are calculated to obtain safety performance level of the flight stage based on the difference value of the threat severity index and the threat management index. Thus, the safety performance levels of the various flight phases together constitute a flight phase threat indicator.
For example, for the take-off phase, the number of times of ATC instruction issue N ATC and the minimum time interval I ATC of every two ATC instructions are acquired, the threat severity index St 1 is calculated by means of weighted summation,Wherein, the method comprises the steps of,,The weight coefficients are all, and the greater the value of the threat severity index St 1 is, the greater the security risk generated by the threat is;
The threat management level index Mt 1 is calculated by weighting whether the threat is managed T ATC and the classification parameter R ATC causing the outcome in the departure phase, Wherein, the method comprises the steps of,,The weight coefficients are all, and the greater the value of the threat management degree Mt 1 is, the better the threat management is;
Calculating the corresponding safety performance level in the take-off stage ,-Wherein the safety performance indexThe greater the number of (c), the less security risk.
Also, it will be appreciated that thereafter other types of ATCs may be employed to provide threat-related safety performance levels, such as the safety performance indicators corresponding to threats such as multiple ATC directives, late change directives, etcAndCan be combined withThreat-related safety performance metrics from ATC are collectively described.
(2) For airport features
Dividing the airports into a take-off airport and a landing airport, acquiring the threat number of the take-off airport and calculating the average threat level of the take-off airport based on threat data, and acquiring the threat number of the landing airport and calculating the average threat level of the landing airport based on threat data. Thus, the average threat level of the departure airport and the average threat level of the landing airport together form an airport threat indicator.
(3) For airline characteristics
And respectively calculating the threat rate, the management threat rate and the invalid management threat rate of the airlines based on threat data to threats related to the airlines so as to jointly form an airlines threat index.
Wherein, the airline threat rate = the total number of the airline threats/(the total number of the airline flights; the management threat rate = the total number of the threats managed/(the total number of the airline flights; the invalid management threat rate = the total number of the threats invalid management/(the total number of the airline flights).
(4) For character features
Dividing pilots into pilot pilots and pilot pilots;
The error caused by the captain as the pilot, the error caused by the captain as the monitor pilot, the error caused by the co-pilot as the monitor pilot, the error caused by the crew together, the error found by the captain as the pilot, the error found by the captain as the monitor pilot, the error found by the co-pilot as the pilot, and the error found by the crew together are acquired respectively;
and giving different weights based on different error types so as to respectively calculate error indexes corresponding to various error information.
For the same role, error information directly caused by the role and error information discovered by the role are respectively acquired. Then, the error index corresponding to the error information directly caused by the role is obtained as a first error index, and the error index corresponding to the error information found by the role is obtained as a second error index. And finally, taking the difference value of the first error index and the second error index as a role error index corresponding to the role.
And S8, evaluating the multiple core competency of the pilot based on the evaluation index system to output the current level of the multiple core competency of the pilot.
The above description of the "security assessment index" is merely exemplary. The method and the system show the core logic of designing the evaluation index in the embodiment of the invention, namely, the evaluation index of main characteristics is designed by establishing a data classification rule with the route operation safety detection database, so that an evaluation index system capable of reflecting the flight capability level of a pilot is constructed.
For example, the safety performance indicators described above, such as the occurrence of a series of threats such as frequent command changes by the controllers, too late command changes, busyness of the area, etc., which may be caused by changes in weather conditions at a near stage, will be related to the multiple flight performance of the crew. Specifically, the first, the unit starts communication against the discovered threats, which shows whether the Communication (COM) capability in the core competence of the pilot is wrong, whether the internal communication is wrong or not, whether the external communication is wrong or not, and the combination of the management of the unit on the communication errors can reflect the performance of the unit communication capability, the second, the process of establishing situational awareness in communication is the reflection of the situational awareness and information management (SAW) capability state of the unit, the third, the situational awareness of the unit still possibly can be improved or reduced in the process during communication, meanwhile, the difference of knowledge application capability (KNO) capability, resource coordination capability and workload management (WLM) capability among the units is shown in the construction, the fourth, the basic workload of the unit is increased, the available cognitive resources are insufficient, so that the simplified or insufficient simplified order appears, the implementation of the simplified order is that the situational information management capability of the unit is established and the problem resolution and decision (PSD) process are most intensively reflected, and the fifth, the situational awareness of the unit is not fully performed after the recognition threat is still possible, the situation awareness of the unit is still possibly improved or reduced in the process during communication, and finally the situation of causing the bad interaction between the automatic interaction conditions is completely known, and the automatic interaction conditions are well-known, and the error of the automatic navigation control conditions are controlled by the unit is under the condition of the control of the FPM, and the control of the FPM is not observed.
In one embodiment of the invention, the pilot's core competency may include technical competency and non-technical competency. Among these, technical competence includes application of flight knowledge, application of programs (correct maneuvering of aircraft systems), management of flight lines, etc., and non-technical competence includes communication capacity, compression resistance, perceptibility, decision-making and leadership, etc. It will be appreciated that based on the various points of detection, information such as the classification of the threat, the specific manner of management of the threat, and the number of threats can be determined, thereby correlating threat data with technical competency to assess pilot competency from the technical layer. And, based on a detailed description of various threat management, a description of whether the outcome is caused, the threat data is correlated with non-technical competency to evaluate pilot competency from a cognitive level.
Based on the method, comprehensive judgment of each core competence of the pilot can be realized through multi-azimuth evaluation of the technical level and the cognitive level.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the assessment of the pilot's core competency may be quantified by a numerical value (e.g., percentile data) to output the pilot's core competency assessment results, and then, based on the pilot's core competency assessment results, output a composite assessment result (also percentile data) corresponding to the pilot as the current level of the pilot's core competency after synthesis.
And S9, comprehensively outputting the route operation safety assessment result corresponding to the route operation safety detection theme based on the current level of each core competence of the pilot.
In one embodiment of the invention, it can be determined whether the airline is safe to operate and whether there is a safety hazard, which aspects can be improved and optimized, etc., based on the current level of pilot core competence. And, combining the threat information and the error information acquired in the step S6, thereby comprehensively outputting the route operation safety evaluation result corresponding to the route operation safety detection subject.
Moreover, it can be appreciated that in one embodiment of the present invention, a correspondence between the current level of the core competence and the route operation safety evaluation result may be pre-constructed, for example, the current level of the core competence is 60% or less, the corresponding route operation safety evaluation result is a high risk, the current level of the core competence is 60% -80%, the corresponding route operation safety evaluation result is a medium risk, the current level of the core competence is 80% or more, and the corresponding route operation safety evaluation result is a low risk. In addition, the risk grade can be further refined aiming at the risks of the high, medium and low grades, and particularly the risk grade can be adaptively adjusted according to the needs.
Therefore, after the current level (namely, percentage system data) of the integrated core competence of the pilot is obtained based on the step S8, the route operation safety assessment result corresponding to the route operation safety detection subject can be directly output according to the corresponding relation.
In addition, it can be appreciated that based on the airline operational safety assessment results, which cores of the pilot are inadequate, thereby providing data support for training course scene development for later development of pilot training.
