Research Topic - Analysis of Aircraft Maintenance accidents in Commercial Air Transport

Research Objective/Purpose

The goal of this study is to determine how the distribution of accidents resulting from maintenance-related problems with aircraft differs from all other accidents in the aviation sector. The fundamental objective of this study is to improve aviation safety by understanding the distinctive traits of occurrences involving aircraft maintenance as compared to other aviation mishaps, as well as how these traits have evolved through time.

Research Questions

1. How are accidents caused by maintenance-related problems distributed differently from incidents in the entire aviation sector?

Variables

1. Accidents Caused by Maintenance-Related Problems (ACM): This is the independent variable since it is the element that researchers want to change or test to see how it affects other factors.

• System/Component failure
• Maintenance Factor

1. Incidents in the aviation sector (IAS) : This additional independent variable represents all aviation-related incidents, regardless of their origin.
2. Distribution (D): This is the dependent variable because it is reliant on the occurrences or degrees of both ACM and IAS. It represents the distribution of these occurrences or accidents among the aviation industry.

Null and Alternate Hypothesis

Null Hypothesis (H0):

There is no difference in the distribution of accidents caused by maintenance-related problems (ACM) and incidents in the entire aviation sector (IAS).

Alternate Hypothesis (H1):

The distribution of accidents caused by maintenance-related problems (ACM) is different from incidents in the entire aviation sector (IAS).
