Article Summary
Andy Pazstor of the Wall Street Journal reports in his article "Pilots Rely Too Much on Automation, Panel Says" that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) commissioned a study which determined two hazards to airline passengers. The first is that commercial airline pilots have become too dependent on automation, or the so-called autopilot. As a consequence, pilots are said to have "poor manual flying skills" or poor decision-making and are unable to adjust to changes in cockpit technology. The second hazard is "inadequate training" by commercial airliners that the FAA believes impede the pilot's capacity to fully master advanced ...

Introduction

The report from which the extract is derived concerned the September 2006 loss in Afghanistan of RAF Nimrod aircraft XV230 and all 14 personnel aboard. This paper reviews and discusses that extract, and considers implications arising from the findings of the report.

Discussion

Nimrod XV230 was the first example brought into service in 1969, so was circa 37 years old at the time of the accident, which appears to have been caused by ignition of fuel leaked during air-to-air refuelling, a problem that had occurred two years earlier on another Nimrod and – according to the report – should have resulted in safety ...

Article Review: Aviation – Crew Resource Management

Introduction
The reviewed article by David Kaminski-Morrow was published on 16 October 2012 via Flightglobalpro.com, a paid for online aviation news and information service, part of the Reed Business Information group. The article revealed that on delivery of its first Airbus A380 aircraft scheduled for July 2013, BA will initially use it on short-haul routes, to maximize pilot training.

Because flying the A380 on selected European short-haul routes will maximize the numbers of take-offs and landings (those times in the flights when pilots have to do much of their actual controlling of the aircraft) pilot training will be accelerated ...

The author of the article has defined emotions in numerous ways, and he has accepted that emotions can be described as facial expression, subjective and physiology experiences. I strongly agree with this description since emotions are also referred to as feelings and merely a collection of experiences like grief, joy, love, hate, panic, trust, joy and fear. Since emotions are a specific response to a particular occurrence which usual takes a shorter duration, the author can be justified as being right in the description of the emotions as a physiological experience. In this case the emotions results due to persons physiological response, like when ...

The article by Bill Carey looks into matters arising from the lack of proper laws and restrictions by the FAA to curb incidences caused by the illegal flying of drones near airports (Carey 4). Carey acknowledges the increase of drone hobbyists and their desire to capture different scenarios. Moreover, the cost of acquiring a drone is slightly cheaper than they were a few years back. Therefore, the common citizens can afford to enjoy flying these drones in designated places. According to a report published by FAA in May 2016 stated that there were 443,000 registered drones weighing between ...

The importance of aviation safety is hard to overestimate. I am sure that safety should and further in the future will be ensured through an integrated approach that combines legal, technical and organizational measures. These include the functioning of aviation security services, airport security, civil aviation facilities and aircraft security, prevention and suppression of attempts of highjack.
Furthermore, in my opinion, in the future for each airport its individual technical solutions will be developed. The development of the safety concept of a particular airport will be necessarily based on a study of conditions-based features, geography, aircraft operations, the types ...

Prevention and avoidance of risk factors are better than cure. Phillips advocates for accident prevention as the future key to ensuring airline safety. Failure to this, the safety record maintained by the aviation department will decline over the next two decades if they continue to focus on what caused the disasters. The author incorporates ideas from a chief engineer in Boeing, Paul Russell, to provide statistics concerning the causes of the fatal crashes and the methods that can prevent them. Aviation safety seems to decline every time a new aircraft is added to the system. Based on Russell’s ...

The discussions talked about international law and civil aviation. International law is based on agreeable documents or contracts between countries. States can also participate in this contractual agreement as long as they support the representation of the law. The conventional agreements are designed as a treaty that imports the agreed laws between the cooperating countries. These Aviation treaty are designed to put rules in place as to the air navigations between the opposing countries. If these rules and agreements were not discussed and signed then the outcome could cause threat between the aviation’s of the other demographical locations.

Introduction

A DC –9, twin-engine plane belonging to ValuJet, a fast rising Airline Company crashes into a swamp and kills everybody on board. This includes the pilots, 105 passengers, and the flight attendants. It is a terrible scene to witness such a scenario especially considering that flights are the safest mode of transport. The term safety is, however, relative when it comes to an accident where almost everybody in the plane is killed thus making it tragic (Langewiesche, 1998). Despite the tragedies that come with plane crashes, the amount of seriousness given to it at the time of occurrence is ...

During that day, Fansler told people that the Airport line would be a sign of great activity. In addition, Fansler asserted that the things that were impossible yesterday would be the accomplishments of today. The rickety seaplane struck many people yet it was only powered by 75-horsepower ...

Aircraft safety has always been in the centre of attention and the reasons for that are obvious – if an airplane crashes, it usually takes away the lives of all its passengers. Traditional methods of preventing accidents in the air include special focus on aircraft design and maintenance, pilots’ professionalism, air traffic control quality, etc. However, the events of September 11th have shifted the focus from traditional preventive measures to aviation security both on the plane and before boarding it.
The analysis of 9-11 events showed that aviation was the weakest spot. Therefore, special commissions and agencies, e.g. the Transportation ...

The expansion foam propels itself upwards to extinguish fire at the ...

The article “Transportation Security Issues for the 114th Congress” the authors suggest that all transportation systems are widely designed for efficiency and accessibility. They concede that safeguarding the transportation system from terrorist attacks is challenging, but relevant strategies can be employed to deter terrorist attacks. Policy makers face the dilemma of constructing and financing an elaborate system of protection, deterrence, and response that considerably lowers the chances and effects of terrorist attacks without constraining commerce, travel, and civil liberties.
On the other hand, the article “Aviation Security” outlines some of the laws and regulations that legislators have implemented to ...

Article 1

Business strategies can be of many natures including mergers and acquisition. Acquisitions assist in attaining total control of the market and cost of production which is the main objective of Delta Air Lines.

The brain is a highly complex organ, with a network of nerve cells that serve as a starting point for everything an individual senses, thinks, and ultimately the actions carried out. There are two responses that the brain is responsible for carrying out: conscious responses and autonomic responses, with fear being an example of the latter due to it usually being triggered unconsciously, leaving the individual to realize that the fear reaction has been triggered only after a myriad of physical responses have occurred (Debiec & LeDoux, 2004).
While the experience of fear is rather autonomic, ...

The American hospital system is in a state of crisis. On the one hand there is competition to increase the profits that hospitals generate. On the other hand there is a concerted effort to improve the quality of care that is delivered by them. In some sense, these are competing values insofar as quality healthcare is an expensive proposition. Medical error accounts for a large portion of the failure in quality as well as the perceived lack of quality in care. In some respects, medical error is unavoidable. Physicians are humans and they will make mistakes. Furthermore, many hospitals are also teaching ...

Question 1

Etic and emic play a significant role in the negotiation process. For this case, French culture is selected. As such, in terms of emic, power distance, uncertainty avoidance and individualism are common in the French culture. These are things that an individual focusing on conducting a negotiation in this culture has to embrace and use them throughout the negotiation process. In contrast, the power distance, uncertainty, individualism and masculinity are very low in South Korea. An emic factor for the South Korea is the low individualism of an index of 18. Therefore, an individual from South Korea has to know that ...

Introduction

In the beginning, the aviation promoters wanted to find a way in which they can make good use of the airplane. In 1910, one of them came up with the idea that they can transport packages, thus the air freight business began. According to the records, the first shipment began with the transportation of a bolt of silk in Ohio from Dayton to Columbus. The other shipment was in 1919, from Washington DC to Chicago where they were moving the convertible bomber. The equipment was heavy, therefore the transportation had to be delayed and the plane landed in Ohio. This however ...
