Abstract(s)
O sector aeronáutico tem protagonizado uma acentuada evolução, com assinalável redução na taxa de acidentes, continuando, ainda assim, a afigurar-se crucial o estudo desta matéria, considerando que grande parte das causas dos acidentes estão relacionadas com falha humana, como seja erro de perceção dos pilotos.
Esta temática reveste-se de extrema importância para a Força Aérea (FA) que, sintónica com a demais indústria aeronáutica, encara esta problemática com grande seriedade, apostando na promoção de uma cultura de segurança e na formação, de excelência, ministrada aos seus pilotos.
Pelo referido, foi objetivo deste estudo analisar a perceção de risco e o comportamento de segurança em voo dos pilotos da FA, numa amostra de 103 oficiais pilotos aviadores (53,7% do universo).
Baseado numa metodologia de raciocínio dedutivo, alicerçada numa estratégia de investigação quantitativa e num desenho de pesquisa de estudo de caso, os dados foram recolhidos através de dois questionários, traduzidos para português e adaptados para o contexto da FA pelo autor.
Os resultados revelaram que, apesar das diferenças de médias verificadas entre grupos com diferentes experiências operacionais, a generalidade dos pilotos da FA avalia o risco de forma homogénea e ajustada, e denota uma positiva (auto)confiança e orientação para a segurança.
The aeronautical industry has witnessed a tremendous evolution, with a remarkable reduction in accident rates. Nevertheless, the study of these subjects has a crucial significance, considering that a large percentage of the accidents are still related to human error, such as pilots’ perception errors. Flight safety is extremely important for the Air Force that, syntonic with the entire aviation industry, has taken this mater very seriously and endeavored both in promoting a safety culture, and in providing world class training to its pilots. Therefore, this study’s objective was to analyze risk perception and flight safety behavior of Air Force pilots, in a sample of 103 officer pilots (53,7% of the universe). Based on a deductive reasoning methodology, quantitative research strategy and a case study design, the data were gathered using two questionnaires, translated to Portuguese and adapted to the Air Force’s context by the author. The results revealed that, in spite of the differences in averages seen between groups with different operational experiences, generally speaking, Air Force pilots assess risk accordingly and evenly, and are positively (self-)confident and safety oriented.
