Human factors were mapped and classified in terms of causes that contributed and led to a harmful occurrence. It is worth highlighting that the purpose is to identify flaws in the work process, equipment or other existing practices, as possible causes of human failure, based on systemic thinking.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Patient safety; Human factors; Risk management.</p> Márcia Regina Cordeiro Souza Thaís Russomano Copyright (c) 2017 Aviation in Focus - Journal of Aeronautical Sciences 2017-10-31 2017-10-31 8 1 14 18 10.15448/2179-703X.2017.1.27186 https://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/aviation/article/view/22812 <p>Desde os engenheiros que constroem as aeronaves até os pilotos que as operam, a segurança vem, ou pelo menos deveria vir, em primeiro lugar, sendo de inegável importância para a aviação. Contudo, acidentes continuam acontecendo. Assumindo a premissa de diversas causas, e nunca causas isoladas, uma delas pode ser o erro de comunicações. O tema a ser abordado tem como base os problemas de linguagem em inglês aeronáutico, caracterizando uma análise de comunicação técnica sob diferentes ramos linguísticos e possíveis acidentes decorrentes destes problemas. Os resultados foram obtidos por meio da organização sistêmica dos dados coletados, os quais foram alcançados através de pesquisas bibliográficas. Os acidentes, ou exemplos de possíveis miscommunications, foram categorizados de maneira a identificar a área da linguística envolvida neste processo. Em caráter geral, o objetivo proposto é analisar os problemas de linguagem em comunicação técnica aeronáutica em inglês, sob diferentes ramos linguísticos.</p><p><span>********************************************************************</span></p><p><strong>Language problems in aeronautical English: a technical communication</strong><br /><strong>analysis under different linguistic areas</strong></p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong> From the engineers who build up the aircraft, to the pilots who make them fly, safety needs to be the first gold rule, or at least, it had to be so, once it’s strictly important for the aviation industry. Nevertheless, accidents still occur. Believing there are always several causes for any accident, it is quite reasonable to think communication errors could be involved in this. The theme of this monography is entirely sustained on language problems in technical aeronautical English, which may unroll into an accident, and how to analyze this under linguistics optical methodology, given by different linguistic levels. The results have been gained by organizing specific bibliographic data, which encompasses examples of possible miscommunication and accidents. These accidents and examples had been linked with the different linguistic levels. Generally, the main goal is to analyze and organize the potential problems that may occur on technical aeronautical communication in English.</p><p><br /><strong>Keywords:</strong> Linguistic levels; Analysis; Organizational; Accidents; Miscommunication.</p> Aline Pacheco Gabriel Masid Gonçalves Copyright (c) 2017 Aviation in Focus - Journal of Aeronautical Sciences 2017-10-31 2017-10-31 8 1 3 13 10.15448/2179-703X.2017.1.22812
