Abstract

This article discusses the development of safety indicators that allow looking at aviation safety with a smoother metric. Safety is not currently viewed in terms of accidents and loss of human lives. Operators are increasingly focused on the safety of the different processes. This approach allows preventing a smaller operation losses caused by incidents. Smoother metric of safety indicators will allow us to monitor operational processes, their interrelationships and the impact on safety. Development of safety indicators and their implementation is currently as important as a development and wide introduction of the technical indicators of reliability in the past.
