Despite recent improvements in air transport safety, the types of incidents that were considered suppressed by previous corrective measures continue to recur in commercial aircraft operations. The question therefore arises whether enhanced data procession could be the next step forward. Today's commonly used approach to safety management relies primarily on the identification and mitigation of the so-called root cause, the suppression of which is intended to prevent the occurrence of negative phenomena. However, in accordance with the latest safety methods, it can be assumed that it is not enough to deal with negative data alone to understand the occurrence causality and implement meaningful mitigation measures. This research therefore builds on the principles of Safety II and aims to design and present an event classification scheme based on neutral taxonomy that deals with factors influencing events in both positive and negative contexts. This could then enable an easier comparison of events that are often investigated individually and thus bring greater insight into flight operations. The presented approach aims to name not only the weaknesses but also the strengths of airline's system. These could later serve as a basis when setting internal processes, simulator trainings or designing both normal and abnormal operating procedures.

The aim of this paper is to propose a structured approach to define the occurrence reporting form in an international airline. For this purpose, the System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) was used. The method serves for analyzing the flight operations of the air carrier and subsequently for the prediction of causal factors relevant for the operations. The result is a sample reporting form for events during taxiing and take-off, which are subject to mandatory reporting under the European legislation. The form was tested by commercial aircraft pilots. The obtained data were analyzed, evaluated and placed in the context of operating conditions. Based on the results obtained, it can be said that the proposed reporting forms provide safety department staff with enhanced insight into reported occurrences and can be used to apply targeted safety measures.

Global air transport was experiencing a steady growth for decades despite various economic or political crises. However, the worldwide spread of Covid-19 and its associated travel restrictions led to an unprecedented 60 % drop in global air traffic volume according to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This has had a dramatic impact on airline companies and their pilots who were suddenly unable to practice their profession. In order to return to service, they had to go through a simulator scenario aimed at restoring crucial pilot competencies. The following paper describes an experiment conducted with the goal to verify whether a simulator scenario proposed by IATA and adopted by airline companies can restore such competencies. The tailored experiment scenario involved specific flight maneuvers and precision approaches together with theoretical knowledge test. It was completed on a flight simulator with 34 pilots holding a valid type rating for Boeing 737NG. One of the results of the experiment show that the accuracy of a pilot's manual flight may not always correspond with the workload they are subjectively experiencing.
