Abstract Most aviation accidents occur during the landing phase, and accidents are analysed using traditional methods, where individual system components are analysed and, as a solution, the failed component is fixed or removed from the system. This paper aims to analyse the system safety risks in the aircraft landing process by applying the System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) method. STPA enabled a comprehensive analysis of the interactions between system components. The findings revealed 140 unsafe control actions, 142 loss scenarios and 67 safety recommendations for improving the landing process. This study provides an example of STPA application in aviation and valuable insights into accident prevention in the landing phase. |
