An approach of AHP for human factors analysis in the aircraft icing accident

The reasons that icing of aircraft leads to an accident are diverse. Ensuring the aircraft to take off clearly is the important factor of giving support to flying safety. Human factor is one of the important factors which have caused the accidents. In this paper, because of the complexity and uncertainty of human factors, we introduce Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to create weight model of human factors by analyzing and deciding importance of all kinds of human factors. Based on this basis, further study on assessment of human factors in aircraft icing accidents is developed, and the arrangement in importance order of human factors in aircraft icing has been given according to the given weight distribution of human factors. This paper provides reliable basis for equipment improvement and personnel management.
