Abstract

Havayolu şirketleri, adayların fiziksel gereksinimlerini karşılamasını sağlamak için kabin ekibi için özel seçim kriterleri kullanır. Bu kriterlerden bazıları adayların boy ve uzanma mesafesidir. Bu seçim kriteri, kabin ekibinin acil durum ekipmanlarına hakim olabilme, üst saklama bölmelerine erişebilme ve engelli veya yaralı yolculara yardımcı olabilme gibi görevleri etkin bir şekilde yerine getirebilmesi için tasarlanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, A380 uçak modeline göre yükseklik ve erişim mesafesi gereksinimlerinin antropometrik olarak incelenmesidir. Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Emirates, All Nippon Airways ve Qantas Airlines'ta yapılan antropometrik çalışmaların incelendiği çalışmada, bu ülkelerdeki kişilerin yükseklik ve erişim mesafesi verilerinin tek çatı altında toplanması sağlanmış ve A380 uçak modelinin durumu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda havayolu şirketlerinin kabin ekibi seçiminde standardize edilmiş antropometrik ölçüm parametrelerini kullanmaları önerilmektedir.

ANTHROPOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF CABIN CREW SELECTION CRITERIA BASED ON A380 AIRCRAFT MODEL

Abstract

Airline companies use specific selection criteria for cabin crew to ensure that candidates meet their physical requirements. Some of these criteria are the height and reach distance of the candidates. This selection criterion is designed so that cabin crew can effectively perform tasks such as being able to master emergency equipment, have access to upper storage compartments and assist disabled or injured passengers. The aim of this study is to examine the height and reach distance requirements, anthropometrically according to the A380 aircraft model. The study examined anthropometric studies conducted in Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Emirates, All Nippon Airways, and Qantas Airlines and provided the collection of height and reach distance data of the people in these countries under a single roof and determined the status of A380 aircraft model. As a result of the research, it is recommended that airline companies use standardized anthropometric measurement parameters in the selection of cabin crews.
