GRADUATE RESEARCH SURVEY

SURVEY FOR UNIVERSITY PROJECT
 
My name is Eleonora Orlandi, I spent the past 12 years in the sky initially as an airline 
pilot and then as a corporate pilot. At the moment I am working on the final project for 
completing a Msc in Aviation Safety Management with City University of London.  

The provisional title for my project is "RISK MITIGATION MANAGEMENT IN THE AVIATION 
INDUSTRY AND THE ANIMAL KINGDOM".

As we all know Risk management is a substantial factor in aviation safety and various 
variants of risk management models exist. The risk model proposed by the university 
during the course of my study has been developedwithout using observations from animal 
behavior related torisk and risk mitigation. Can this model be complemented 
byunderstanding how certain animals manage risk? And if yeshow and to what extend?

As part of the research I have developed a very short survey (it takes max 2 minutes). I 
would love to hear opinions of professional pilots from everywhere in world. If you have 
been flying as an airline, corporate or cargo pilot for more than one year, can you please 
spare two minutes of your time and complete the following survey
