Abstract

This study is focused on an airplane crash case to analyze and identify the accident contributing factors. The accident occurred on 27th of December 1991 in a few minutes after a Scandinavian Airlines System plane departed from Stockholm on a route to Copenhagen, Denmark. It was found that the cause of this accident is a combination of several factors. Errors can result from ambiguously written procedures, inadequate training, unexpected operational situations or individual judgments. Situational awareness, environmental and crew coordination factors, as well as shortcomings in pilot technical knowledge, skills and experience, also can cause incidents. Other mistakes might be the result of improper airspace design or crew coordination.
