Implementing risk assessment is of great significance to aviation safety. At present, with the gradual assembly of large transport aircraft with troops, it has become an urgent matter to carry out reloading airdrop to achieve the desired combat purpose and effect. In this paper, the task process of reloading airdrop is described in detail, the risk evaluation index system is established by using the questionnaire, and the probability and severity of the evaluation index are scored, and the risk grade is determined according to the risk matrix. Finally, the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process is used for risk assessment, and the corresponding preventive measures are put forward. The evaluation results show that in the process of heavy load airdrop, attention should be paid to the possibility of aircraft instability during the process of equipment and materials delivery.

Aviation safety has been an eternal theme, and safety assessment is taken as the important method to assess the aircraft safety, but it is difficult to assess the safety of a heavy equipment airdrop from a transport aircraft due to mission complexity and strong coupling. This study uses an improved STPA-BN methodology to assess the safety of transport aircraft heavy equipment airdrop. To this purpose, qualitative safety analysis is performed by STPA, and then quantitative safety assessment is performed by BN. In contrast to the-state-of-the-art, the distinguishing feature of the proposed design lies in the introduction of DS evidence theory, which makes the probability of nodes in BN a priori. More precisely, best-worst multicriteria decision-making method (BWM) is skillfully incorporated into the DS evidence theory so as to tackle the conflict issue that exists in most existing designs. Importance analysis is utilized to determine the importance of the different risk nodes. A case of transport aircraft heavy equipment airdrop mission is used to test the effectiveness of the proposed method.INDEX TERMS Heavy equipment airdrop, STPA-BN, BWM, Safety assessment.
