After Germanwings: do we need a new human factors paradigm?

Abstract:

After an accident happens the investigators use some models to understand how it is developed and which are its root causes. Most of the interpretations depend upon the paradigm used. Until now different paradigms led to different interpretations and different countermeasures. The Germanwings case, where a pilot intentionally crashed an airplane full of passengers, is a challenge for the safety scholars. Is this event a black swan or is it a symptom of a broader phenomenon affecting flight safety? This paper address the topic, analysing the evolution of the threats to safety, the countermeasures adopted along the years and the methodological approach needed to cope with these new kinds of accidents.
