The crash of Asiana Flight 214 on July 6, 2013 was one of the most widely publicized crashes up to that point that dealt primarily with automation. Of the 307 people on board the B-777 aircraft, 3 were killed and 187 injured, of which 49 were serious injuries. The weather was clear and perfect for the visual approach the pilots elected to fly that day. But what should have been a routine approach and landing for these highly experienced pilots took a dramatic turn. So, what went wrong? Let’s see what can we learn using systems safety techniques about this crash? Based on the videos and anything else you researched, use one of the techniques you learned about in this module to conduct an analysis of one of the system malfunctions that happened and led to this crash. Take this analysis and draft a one to two-page report to show your boss the findings and how to correct this problem before it happens again.

This assignment has three requirements that must be completed. The first is a chart presenting the data you selected to analyze in your chosen technique (examples are found in the Ericson text). The second is a short narrative to the boss telling them why the items you show in your chart are important and need to be addressed. The third is which method you selected to complete your assessment. Include why you decided this was the most applicable method for the malfunction and your primary recommendation for correcting this malfunction.
