Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The final investigation report for the 1998 Swissair Flight 111 collision was released by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada in March 2003. This paper analyzes the human factors of the accident involving the captain's and first officer's use of checklists and their cockpit communication. A case study is presented that analyzes the use of checklists of Swissair 111 and their use in the aviation industry at that time. After reviewing and discussing past research on cockpit communication, publicly available information from the Swissair 111 cockpit voice recorder (CVR) is analyzed. The flight crew's communication is placed into some broad categories of linguistically-oriented aviation communications research. The author recommends the full Swissair 111 CVR transcript be released to leaders in the field of aviation psycholinguistics for further research. This transcript could be used for study of real-time aircraft emergency cockpit communication, possibly resulting in improved safety recommendations and pilot training. Findings suggest that although checklists did not play a role in the outcome of Swissair 111, conflicts did arise between two of the checklists. This suggests that the aviation industry should standardize and rationalize checklists and checklist procedures.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
