Abstract
In equipment and systems design a process of design stages is normally undertaken, through which options and alternatives are reviewed and narrowed down. This often begins with pen and paper design and moves, utilising a variety of rapid prototyping tools, through desk top trials to simulation, where the fidelity and functional of the simulator can vary significantly. It is assumed that results at the early stages of this process are a valid predictor of the results at the later stages. Thus enabling the production of an optimised design solution from this process

Abstract
This paper presents the findings of research relating to the specification of a new human factors report, conducted as part of the work requirements for the Human Integration into the Lifecycle of Aviation Systems (HILAS) project, sponsored by the European Commission. Specifically, it describes the proposed concept for a Unique Report, which will form the basis for all operational and safety reports, completed by Flight Crew. This includes all mandatory and optional reports. Critically, this form is central to the advancement of improved processes and technology tools, supporting airline performance management, safety management, organisational learning and knowledge integration/information sharing activities. Specifically, this paper describes the background to the development of this reporting form, the logic and contents of this form, and how reporting data will be made use of by airline personnel. This includes a description of the proposed intelligent flight plan concept, which exploits the output of airline safety analysis information. Primarily, this new reporting form has been developed in collaboration with a major Spanish Airline. In addition, it has involved research with five other airlines. Overall, this has involved extensive field research, collaborative prototyping and evaluation of new reports/flight plan concepts and a number of evaluation activities. Participants have included both operational and management personnel, across different airline flight operations processes.

Study of safety performance indicators and contributory factors as part of an airline strategic safety risk data model

Every airline would like to anticipate potential future risks allowing the organisation to be predictive and proactive in its safety work. This is also mandated by regulators, such as ICAO, in the form of requirements for a safety management system. In order to successfully achieve this, a systemic view of the organization and relationships between incident outcomes and contributory factors is required. This would involve the classification of risk data, contributory factors for risk, data handling from multiple risk data sources and the prudent use of safety performance indicators given the availability of existing tools to date. One of the key issues here is to define the logic behind data management of existing current and historical data and particularly how data can be combined to provide a prospective view of future risk. Without a clear strategy on how to do this airlines may lose focus and revert to simply measuring what is readily available, but potentially less meaningful.
