The nature and rate of altitude deviations are briefly discussed. The development and implementation of the USAir Altitude Awareness Program, which was established to decrease the number of altitude deviations at USAir, is presented. This paper primarily describes two aspects of USAir's Altitude Awareness Program. The first aspect involves the program's emphasis on the cockpit procedural changes instituted at USAir to lower the rate of altitude “busts.” The second aspect concerns a study involving pilots which seeks to understand the nature of individual altitude deviation incidents and provide a basis for understanding the common human error components of altitude deviations in general. The emphasis in this paper is on showing the extent of the data collection effort and in presenting some preliminary results from that data collection effort. |
