Abstract
Aviation safety is paramount in flight training organizations (FTOs) worldwide, and India is no exception. This systematic review aims to analyze and synthesize existing literature on accidents and incidents within FTOs in India over a specified period. The review utilizes a systematic search strategy to identify relevant studies, focusing on incident types, causal factors, and mitigation strategies reported in peer-reviewed journals, government reports, and industry publications. Findings suggest a recurring pattern of contributing factors such as human error, operational challenges, and regulatory issues. The synthesis highlights the need for enhanced safety protocols, improved training methodologies, and regulatory reforms to mitigate risks and enhance aviation safety within South Indian FTOs. The consistent focus on corrective training, thorough audits, and increased oversight provides a valuable roadmap for Flight Training Organizations (FTOs) to proactively address challenges and cultivate a strong safety culture within the aviation industry. Future research directions are proposed to further understand and address the complex dynamics of aviation safety in training environments. This review paper contributes to the literature on the role of human factors in implementing aviation safety norms to trainee pilots by providing a comprehensive synthesis of existing literature on the topic. The review paper will also provide practical implications for organizations, policymakers, and other stakeholders to promote and ensure safety to pilots and other employees at flight training organizations in South India.
