Abstract
In order to avoid helicopters accidents, maintainability engineers seek to identify, evaluate and solve what they called “the risks of maintenance errors” done by maintenance mechanics, and sometimes pilots performing simple pre-flight maintenance tasks. Here we will argue that beyond trying to avoid errors by following procedures, acting safely involves trade-offs between safety and performance within the engineers’ and mechanics’ activity. This papers show the relations between the mechanics’ and engineers’ work using the Critical Incident interview technique.
