Análise documental do meio aero agrícola através do desenvolvimento de novos regulamentos não aeronáuticos e aeronáuticos

Abstract

Agricultural aviation is not only intended to assist crops and equivalents. It is essential for society as a whole, especially for rural citizens, as the plane can even extinguish a fire. However, aero-agricultural operations are not simple and require constant changes and technological advances in both legislation and techniques performed in agricultural activities. Successful use of the aircraft in agriculture is not enough to have an aircraft of adequate quality and structure, but it is necessary to invest in human factors, which are decisive and fundamental in mitigating risks. The general objective of the work was to carry out an analysis of the regulations governing the agricultural air activity. The methodology consisted of literature review and document analysis. The purpose of aeronautical and non-aeronautical regulations is to establish minimum criteria to be followed by industry members in matters such as: accident investigation, operational safety, aeronautical product certification, air operations, training and personnel certification, among other aspects of the business. Eight non-aeronautical and six aeronautical regulations were considered for the work. It has been found that a well-designed and effective operational safety management system that is achievable is critical to contributing to the mitigation of the risks that the airline industry acquires in most of its operations. From research on agricultural aviation standards and regulations, it was found that one of the major risk factors and fatal accidents in agricultural operations is related to the lack of compliance or non-compliance with the regulations and requirements in force therein.
