Segurança operacional da aviação leve esportiva

Abstract

Experimental aviation has contributed massively to the development of aeronautical technology, but the operation of these aircraft is often evaluated as unsafe, due to failures in regulation and inspection, the absence of efficient quality control in the construction and maintenance of aircraft and the deficiency in the training of pilots of these aircraft. The purpose of this article was to investigate the current regulation to identify gaps and suggest effective solutions to ensure the operational safety of experimental aircraft. As main results, we have worrying accident statistics involving experimental aircraft, with a significantly high accident rate in relation to the number of aircraft in the category, due to factors such as the lack of stricter regulation, lack of quality control in the construction and maintenance of aircraft, as well as the deficiency in pilot training In addition, a long term in the validity of the Experimental Flight Authorization Certificate (CAVE), added to a lack of regular supervision of the current condition of the aircraft are factors that maximize unsafety.
