Abstract
This article describes a new methodology allowing a combined exploration of experience feedback databases. Based on a small set of data provided by an airline, the study demonstrates the feasibility and the benefit for safety management of this new approach, which highlights links between human-factor components revealed by crew reports and operational deviations detected through digital flight data. Such a new understanding of the insight of the operations could have a major impact on safety management and should contribute to the proactive safety management culture that many airlines try to promote.
