Abstract
This chapter aims to showcase the knowledge transfer from research into practice taking aviation as the case study. Aviation is well-known for its matured safety management systems and it is frequently used as the exemplar of the successful application of safety management across aviation activities. The application of the research is presented with respect to the enhancement of investigation and monitoring of safety incidents, the support of evidence-based safety risk assessment and the mitigation actions. These applications follow on the research in on a persistent safety issue in air traffic management that of the unauthorised entry of aircraft into controlled and restricted airspace.
