Evolution of Human Factors in Crew Resource Management

Executive Summary

Most aspects of aviation have radically changed since the advent of the first aircrafts in the late 19th century. With increasing technology in flight development, crew management protocols have also been changing ever since (Helmreich, Merritt, & Wilhelm, 1999. pp23-24). However, the last 50 years has witnessed the greatest improvement in the way crew management is carried out in various aviation settings. This paper shall determine the evolution of crew resource management considering all the factors that have changed in one way or the other, culminating into the modern aviation management protocols. Validation of the crew resource ...

Abstract
The successful flight of an aircraft is often attributed to the finesse of its pilots as well as the dispatcher. It is a common practice in air crash investigations to put the blame of such a mishap on the shoulders of its pilots and the air traffic control unit. Most often, the other factors that are inclusive in any successful flight, is omitted. This paper tries to analyze these causes from the perspective of National Transport Safety Board, to generate an independent view about the crash of UPS Flight 1354. After thorough inspection of NTSB reports three main ...

Introduction
A gear up landing takes place when the aircraft makes a landing without the ecompletrel extension of the landing gear. The term gear- up details that the underside of the aircraft is applied in order to land. Conventionally, there are occurrences where gear up is referenced by the events where a mechanical error deters the pilot from extending the landing gear. In the event of a gear- up landing, there is normally substantial damage that is incurred to the ...

Mechanism of hydraulic systems in aircrafts

Hydraulic system in aircrafts consists of a system in which liquid under pressure is utilized to transmit energy. The power from the engine is converted by the hydraulic systems to hydraulic power. Several hydraulic systems existing in an aircraft include the landing gear, brakes doors and control boosters. According to Roskam (2000), some of the components that are part of the hydraulic system include hydraulic fluid reservoir, accumulators, hydraulic pumps, valves, and lines for distribution and controls located in the cockpit to operate the different functions of the hydraulic system.
The hydraulic system has an actuating cylinder that functions ...
