Vette's findings on the crash of Flight TE-901 were highly influential in advancing air safety and accident prevention in general. In an interview on the "Impact Erebus Two" videotape, Peter Mahon said, "An overseas expert in jet training and jet operations has said that this report has made the world a safer place to fly in. Well if that is so, that is due to the persistence of Gordon Vette and the evidence he produced which directed me and counsel of the Royal Commission onto the right path." In particular, Vette introduced the concepts of "human factors" and "organizational accidents" into the language of accident analysis and prevention. These terms still remain in use today as important considerations in airline safety. The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) used Vette's report as an example of how a combination of organizational failures could cause an accident, calling it "10 years ahead of its time" and adding that if its lessons had been heeded, "Chernobyl, Bhopal, Clapham Junction, King’s Cross and certainly the Dryden Report would not have existed".
