Air Accident Bureau Incident Reports - Case Study Review
Purpose: The purpose of the work reviewed in this short paper was to evaluate some of the common aspects highlighted in bureau of air safety investigations related to aircraft air supply fume events. --- Methodology: An aircraft incident investigation report by the UK based Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) was examined, involving fume events reported on the A320 group of aircraft. The aim was to align the report with the current understanding of the aircraft contaminated air supply issue. A brief review of a recent French Bureau d’ Enquêtes et d’Analyses (BEA) report as well as a collation of key recommendations and findings by bureaus of air safety was also undertaken. --- Findings: Fume events associated with the aircraft air supply are not uncommon. A review of 6 A320 family aircraft reporting fumes at various transient phases of flight, commonly described as a dirty sock type odour, reported that no fault could be found. While there are a number of common features identified with these events as well as fume events in general, the report identified a reluctance to directly address air supplies contaminated with oil leakage and an incomplete appreciation of the wider implications of such exposures. --- Limitations: This review has not been afforded access to the complete files used in the investigations. --- Practical Implications: This brief review has wide implications for all aircraft using bleed air for ventilation purposes. --- Social Implications: The findings outlined in this brief review are relevant to all aircrew, passengers and the aviation industry. --- Value and Originality: The value of this review has the potential to change the way the aviation industry supplies air to aircraft crew and passengers globally. ; This is a publication from the International Aircraft Cabin Air Conference 2021 (Online, 15-18 March 2021)
