Just completed your survey and hope it will help.

I think it would help if more of our professional colleagues contributed.

This is an entirely confidential and unique opportunity for us to report our views at a time of great change for our profession. EASA rule making relies on pilot feedback and this is our chance to provide it.

Further reading can be found on the ECA website: https://www.eurocockpit.be/pages/new...ure-for-pilots

The survey closes on Feb 22nd.

Safety culture? What safety culture?

I wrote to four different agencies and to their senior management, detailing a reason why aircraft flight decks burst into flames. And not one of them even replied. And as far as I can see, nothing has been done.

I'm interested in knowing which incidents you refer to where flight decks "burst into flames".

Devil world vs europe !

I canot imagine an exclusive European safety survey! European registration ? European owner ? Inside Europe flight ? European pilots ? Aso.
We already know that European Union wants to destroy UNO and ICAO.
Only a worldwide ICAO survey is able to improve really air safety.

Hi roulishollandais,

The introduction page says that the survey is targeted at commercial pilots who fly and are based in Europe.

It aims to assess the current safety culture for pilots in Europe and to validate a safety culture tool in order to measure it reliably.

This is the first study that attempts to look at pilot safety culture across the whole of Europe. It is by far the largest survey on this topic to date and is quite an undertaking.

It is run by an independent body (The London School of Economics) so it has no ulterior agenda.


Internet forums will only achieve so much. If you're a European pilot take 10 minutes to submit your opinion for scientific judgement and exposure.

This is not a very scientific approach. As per Roul&, there is no control over who or where the contributions come from.
Culture involves what an organisation / pilot does, not something which can be assessed with a survey. How can an open forum study equate procedural statements defining what an organisation will do (likely responses), against what actually happens in operations. The important aspect of culture is what an organisation does when no one is looking.

bazil N.B. ‘… a collaboration of the LSE, the European Commission, and EUROCONTROL” – link #3.

If this survey were to be used by EASA then help; particularly if it anything like other ‘surveys’ used in the justification of regulatory action.

Yeah, but I contacted them last year about safety, and they refused to speak to me. They even returned my email (as if it was paper letter). Like most academic establishments, they are not interested in doing proper research, they are just interested in their promotion, stipends and making sure they get four months off a year. Tick a few boxes, write a nebulous report, and kerrrchingg at the bank.

Anyone else notice that this questionnaire was not designed by pilots or engineers? If you are not asking the right questions, the survey is worse than useless. And this one was pretty useless as useless go - ambiguous questions that will result in misleading answers, and therefore result in the wrong policy proposals being made.

I had a friend once who did an investigation into Metro usage at major cities. And after six months of intensive 'research' she concluded that more people used the Metro between 07:30 and 09:00 and again between 17:00 and 18:00. Kerrrchhingggg.

Don't expect anything from the imbeciles who inhabit academia.

I`m with silvertate here. Academics live in a very narrow, one dimensional world. Aviation is exactly the opposite, multi-dimensional and relies on the safe interaction of scores of individuals to make every flight, a safe flight. Let`s not trivialise our industry by completing a questionaire with skewed, misleading and irrelevant questions.
Unfortunately this is now the modus operandii of Governments and Regulatory Authorities. You were consulted, so we can go ahead and do exactly what we intended to do in the first place. We commisioned a survey!!!!!!
Sorry, academics are overpaid, underworked ego`s on legs.

I totally agree with silver state and attic7.
In appearance the modern method is to fly a sequence of designed FCOM procedures and automation could do it in low cost flights - Wealthy people will pay much to keep human pilots ! -
But in fact the pilot is at the best, drawing the interfaces of these sequences during the whole flight. And we know that we have NEVER flown two similar flights.

Perhaps it was your awful attitude that put them off.
