The Sera Model Explains 90% of Aircraft Accidents #aviation #pilotknowledge

The Swiss Cheese Model, developed by British psychologist James Reason in 1990, is widely used in risk analysis and safety management (e.g., in aviation, medicine, and industry) to explain the causes of accidents in complex systems. The model's key assumptions: Cheese slices as barriers: Each cheese slice represents a separate layer of protection or safeguards within the organization (e.g., procedures, technology, training, supervision). Holes as weaknesses: Holes in the slices represent errors or gaps in the barrier. Under normal circumstances, these holes do not overlap, and the system remains safe. Chain of errors (accident trajectory): An accident only occurs when the holes in all slices align. This allows a hazard to traverse all layers of protection, creating a so-called "trajectory of opportunity." In aviation, a disaster is rarely the result of a single error. Typically, it's a "chain of events" where human factors such as fatigue, operational pressure, or lack of assertiveness combine with malfunctions to create a critical situation. Training emphasizes breaking this chain, increasing situational awareness and improving aviation safety. 🎥 Welcome to PilotForgePro – Your Path to the Skies!
