Structural Failures in Aviation

Lessons Learned from the Chapecoense and 737 MAX Aircraft Crashes

Structural Failures in Aviation Lessons Learned from the Chapecoense and 737MAX Aircraft Disasters Crashes is essential reading for ergonomics and human factors practitioners, aviation professionals, safety managers, regulatory personnel, and organizational leaders in high-risk industries.

In November 2016, the flight Lamia Flight 2933 crashed, claiming nearly all members of the Brazilian Chapecoense soccer team. This book provides a comprehensive analysis that goes beyond simplistic explanations. It does not accept the initial narrative of pilot imprudence but instead investigates organizational failures, regulatory oversights, and systemic pressures that created the conditions for disaster. Through parallel analysis of the Boeing 737 MAX crashes, the book challenges the complacent assumption that such tragedies only occur in developing nations with supposedly inferior aviation standards.

This title looks at how organizational environments influence critical decision-making, particularly under stress, and exposes the dangerous issues that can occur between documented safety protocols and actual practices. The book analyzes how regulatory bodies can fail in their supervisory roles, how financial pressures compromise safety decisions, and how whistle-blowers are silenced when they attempt to highlight dangerous practices. By understanding these complex interactions between individuals, organizations, and regulatory systems, readers will gain crucial insights into preventing "accidents waiting to happen" across all high-risk industries.

Structural Failures in Aviation Lessons Learned from the Chapecoense and 737MAX Aircraft Crashes is essential reading for ergonomics and human factors practitioners, aviation professionals, safety managers, regulatory personnel, and organizational leaders in high-risk industries. It will prove invaluable to accident investigators seeking to understand the complex interplay of factors that lead to disasters.
