Aviation accidents mostly occur due to more than one reason. In other words, aviation accidents occur as a result of a combination of many effects. Examples of these effects include production processes, maintenance activities, human factors, meteorological conditions, certification controls, and runway condition. On the other hand, consecutive crashes of the same aircraft type are naturally conspicuous. The B-737 Max commercial passenger aircraft crashes that occurred in Indonesia on October 29, 2018, and Ethiopia on March 10, 2019, are examples of these consecutive accidents. In this study, these accidents are discussed from the pilotage and engineering perspective, in terms of certification processes.

Havacılıkta Organizasyonel Kazalar: B-737 Max Uçak Kazalarının Mühendislik Perspektifinden İncelenmesi

Öz

Havacılık kazalarının oluşumu çoğunlukla birden fazla nedenden kaynaklanmaktadır. Diğer bir ifade ile havacılık kazaları birçok etkinin birleşiminin bir sonucu olarak meydana gelmektedir. Bu etkilere, üretim süreçleri, bakım faaliyetleri, beşeri unsurlar, meteorolojik şartlar, sertifikasyon kontrolleri ve pist durumu gibi hususlar örnek olarak verilebilir. Diğer taraftan aynı uçak tipindeki ardışık kazalar, doğal olarak dikkat çekicidir. 29 Ekim 2018’de Endonezya’da ve 10 Mart 2019’da Etiyopya’da meydana gelen B-737 Max ticari yolcu uçağı kazaları bu ardışık kazalara örnektir. Bu çalışmada söz konusu kazalar pilotaj ve mühendislik perspektifinden, sertifikasyon süreçleri açısından ele alınmaktadır.
