... 80 EMERGING HAZARDS IN COMMERCIAL AVIATION -- REPORT 1 and less on engineering and management of the complex systems of safety controls and design and operating assumptions that they are based on, reflecting a form of organization drift. The subtlety of such shifts can also be challenging for the regulator to identify because they would affect organizational management decisions that have direct and indirect consequences on safety that may not manifest for some time.

... EMERGING AVIATION SAFETY HAZARDS AND FUTURE IDENTIFICATION 81 batteries were added to commercial aircraft without fully understanding how different their required quality assurance and failure modes are from the battery types traditionally used in aviation; indeed, concerns continue with the transport of lithium-ion batteries as cargo. As another example, the potential for additive manufacturing will introduce not only new materials, but also structural shapes that were never possible with traditional manufacturing methods.

... 82 EMERGING HAZARDS IN COMMERCIAL AVIATION -- REPORT 1 to tease out and debate additional potential emerging hazards based on expert judgment, as described in more detail in the next section. An additional element of the committee's task is to "draw on the results of FAA's annual internal safety culture assessments and also advise the agency on data and approaches for assessing safety culture to ensure that FAA is identifying emerging risks to commercial aviation and sharing that information throughout the agency and with the public." This task refers specifically to the annual safety culture assessment that Congress required the FAA Aviation Safety office to conduct following the two crashes of Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft in Indonesia and Ethiopia.
