Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Royal Malaysian Air Force Institute of Aviation Medicine Kuala Lumpur (RMAF AIM) is currently the only Institution in Malaysia that caters for all aircrew medical needs in the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) and civilian agencies. RMAF IAM is also a permanent member for any air mishap in Malaysia as a Human Performance Subject Matter Expert (SME). In the wake of the disappearance of MH370 and unfortunate events involving MH17 over Ukraine Air Space, Ministry of Transport of Malaysia (MOTM) have decided to establish a team of Aviation Expert to be a part of a Malaysian Air Accident and Investigation Board (MAAIB) and where RMAIF AIM is part of it. METHODS: RMAF IAM provide expertise on Human Performance, Aviation Pathology and Human Factors performance shaping factors consisting of physiology, psychology, ergonomics, anthropometry, design, engineering, biomechanics and medicine. RESULTS: Study shows that 80% of most of the Air Mishap findings are due to Human Factors aspect while another 20% are due mechanical problems and yet the rate of accidents will never reach the pinnacle 0% as targeted due to an increasing rate of human travelling, rate of flying and sprouting new budget airlines. DISCUSSION: Effect of urbanisation will definitely have an influence on the health of the aircrew through the performance shaping factors that contribute to human factors and decrement of human performance in the cockpit. Developing correlations between public health issues and Aircraft Accident Investigation never the less still a challenge to the investigators.
