Internationale Sommerschule zur Luftfahrtpsychologie bringt ExpertInnen aus aller Welt nach Graz

Ein Flugzeugabsturz in Taiwan sorgte kürzlich wieder für Schlagzeilen: Der Pilot hatte den falschen Hebel betätigt und statt dem defekten das funktionierende Triebwerk ausgeschaltet. Dieser fatale Fehler ließe sich durch ausreichendes Training in einem guten Flugsimulator vermeiden, sind sich ExpertInnen einig. Solche sind diese Woche an der Uni Graz, um im Rahmen der International Summer School on Aviation Psychology ISAP die Flugsicherheit zu erhöhen.

Gefahrloser Flugverkehr ist ohne den Einsatz von Psychologie undenkbar. WissenschafterInnen der Karl-Franzens-Universität entwickeln in Kooperation mit der TU Graz und der FH Joanneum die Sicherheitskultur in der Luftfahrt ständig weiter – und das weltweit federführend. Im Zentrum stehen PilotInnen, FluglotsInnen und Wartungspersonal. „Der zivile Flugbetrieb ist besser vor Ausfällen geschützt als jedes andere System, da alles doppelt ausgelegt ist“, weiß der Psychologe Univ.-Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Kallus.
In Graz wurden unter anderem spezielle Trainings für Sport- und MilitärpilotInnen entwickelt, mit deren Hilfe es gelang, Desorientierung als Unfallursache zu minimieren. Viele große Linien machen mit ihrem gesamten fliegenden Personal kontinuierlich „Crew-Resource-Management-Programme“. Dadurch soll der optimale Umgang des Teams miteinander erprobt und auf Probleme in der Kommunikation hingewiesen werden.

Cosmetics in the environment: University of Graz proves danger to ants

Titanium dioxide, which is found in cosmetics, for example, is increasingly entering the environment in the form of nanoparticles. This could also put insects at risk. If ants ingest the substance in combination with the pesticide glyphosate, it disturbs the development of their offspring. Scientists at the University of Graz are drawing attention to the negative consequences of this toxic cocktail.
