Technical progress is rapid in aviation and automotive engineering. Even if these branches are different in many ways, they also have similarities, especially in the technical and service sectors. Quite a few technological innovations were first used in aircraft, and, after a few years, those innovations received their own applications in automotive engineering. Because of rapid technical development, it is important to determine what knowledge and skills will be needed in the future. This information also predicts the main directions for the education of future mechanics. The main focus of our study was to get respondents (N=81) – experts in the field – to consider their professional competencies from various views and in different time periods, according to the Janus Cones method. Our survey describes future professional competencies that will be necessary for successful working in aircraft technology and automotive engineering. The result of the study is that skills and knowledge need to be used widely, creatively and combined with thinking to produce a new type of knowledge for competence in a certain context. A thematic content analysis led to the components of professional competencies for aircraft technology and automotive engineering being subsumed under five common categories: vehicle technology and proficiency, quality and environment, safety and security, general skills and knowledge, and customer service. Four of these competencies are clearly context bound to aviation and automotive engineering; however, they might also be usable in other technological branches and various study programmes. General skills and knowledge were the only components that referred to general competencies. The results of this study are intended to help with planning curricula that will meet the needs of the next generation of aviation and automotive engineers.

“…. Accordin toObadimu et al (2020) Minimum Equipment List (MEL) is important, because of increasing complexity of aircraft systems and the diversity of operational requirements, environmental conditions, fleet configuration. MEL is not only related to aircraft, it has also role in service operated by humans within a specific environment.…”

A method of risk assessment of an aircraft on-board information system is being considered, which allows ensuring reliability and safety of such a complex system in operation. This technique implies application of combined mathematical tools to estimate the risks that complex systems/items are being exposed to. The existing risk assessment methods are not flexible enough to solve the complex task of enhancing comprehensive safety of an aircraft information system (AIS) due to difficulty in unifying the criteria for estimating the degree of hazard in reference to all safety concepts. Currently, risks severity and mechanism for the development of one undesirable event (risk event) into more complex forms during technical operation of an aircraft items/system are not being considered. However, the method proposed in this article intends to become a catalyst for generation of new criteria on a unified basis for estimating safety of such a technical complex system such as AIS, since it contains three-component risk parameters. I.e. the risk for threats from violators (cases of unlawful interference (UI)), vulnerabilities (functional hazards that contribute to UI and its development in a system) and loss (set of criteria that evaluates consequences of UI). As a result, these criteria and parameters of threecomponent safety will allow us to find a new approach to determining the complex risk to which important aircraft systems, such as on-board aircraft information systems, are exposed. This article presents a method for determining risk that takes into account the three-component safety concept. Together, these components will make it possible to evaluate technical systems hazard degree, taking into account their sophistication. The information provided in this paper by the authors is a scientific hypothesis designed to draw attention of the scientific community to the problem of lack of methods for evaluating multicomponent risks in such a system as AIS. The article presents the basic criteria for evaluating a complex three-component risk; they are not sufficient for the full formation of new criteria for evaluating the safety of a complex aircraft system/item and requires clarification of their parameters. Thus, this work is not absolute as a complete solution to the complex problem of enhancing comprehensive safety of AIS, but only offers a methodology for unifying the three safety components to evaluate complex risk.

“…This Special Issue is focused on safety themes with implications on airworthiness management. It offers a diverse set of analyses on aircraft maintenance accidents [1][2][3][4], empirical and systematic investigations on important continuing airworthiness matters [5][6][7] and research studies on methodologies for risk and safety assessment in continuing and initial airworthiness [8][9][10]. Overall, this collection of papers is a valuable addition to the published literature, and I am confident that the readers of Aerospace will find that useful.…”
