- Feasibility Study of a Hazard Identification Process on Daily Operations of a National Airline OperatorPublication . Duarte, Elisa Bahamonde Alves; Silva, Jorge Miguel dos Reis; Saúde, José Manuel Mota Lourenço da; Santos, Jorge Esteves Pereira Nunes dosSince its beginning has a commercial activity, the aviation industry has experienced a lot of changes in terms of safety. Nowadays it is recognized that aviation is a complex mosaic of interrelated human, technical, environmental, and organizational factors that affect safety and system performance. For this reason, air operators need to identify all the hazards that may affect their operations. This work develops the feasibility study of the implementation of a hazard identification list enabling operational decision-making in the national airline operator – euroAtlantic Airways (EAA). In 2017, EAA Safety Department consulted various regulators and other air operators and compiled a list of 142 operational hazards of the company. With the continuity of the operation, there was a need to organize and complete this list in order to improve the assistance of decision making in the daily operations of the operator. In order to do so, bibliographic research on hazard identification processes, safety risk system and safety risk management was performed. Later, using the information available in the company's internal occurrence reporting system, an analysis of the reports was made in order to identify which hazards the company had been subjected to in the last 5 years. The information obtained was then cross-checked with the information contained in the hazard list held in 2017, creating a new Hazard Identification Log divided into 5 categories: organization, human factors, environment, technical and operation. The results were validated at two different levels: at the company's internal level, by EAA Safety Manager, and at an external level, under IOSA external audit.
