Aviation safety management addresses the prevention and mitigation of accidents and incidents across crewed and uncrewed aircraft operations. It integrates air traffic management, safety assessment tools, and data-driven monitoring of technical systems, including flight controls, radar, and communication networks. The domain encompasses human factors, training, organizational governance, and safety culture, as well as integration of drones and high‑altitude vehicles into shared airspace. Environmental and space-weather influences on operations and system reliability are also evaluated to support risk-informed decision making.
