Management: What Must be Improved?

At the present time, the use of Global Positioning System or GPS, is becoming significant in various applications. Through the use of satellite systems, this technology is able to pinpoint the location of a certain object or person (Wickens, Mavor, Parasuraman, & McGee 90). The accuracy was proven to be high, making it suitable for communication and surveillance. Moreover, it can also be used for navigation. When using a set of satellites, GPS can determine a certain way to reach the other locations, as long as the satellites are within the range of the distance of the designated places (Wickens, ...

Introduction

Safety Management System is a tool of management for the oversight of safety by an organization that is carried out following an approach that is both organized and orderly. Additionally, the Safety Management System approach represents a formal, top-down approach that is adopted by businesses and organizations for the management of safety risks. It includes an approach that is systematic regarding the management of security and considers the necessary structures of the organization, accountabilities, policies as well as procedures. According to Russel (2016), the notion that the implementation of a Safety Management System is complicated, time-consuming, and expensive is ...

ABSTRACT

Pilot uniforms, particularly in the commercial airline industry, conveys professionalism, competence, and experience. However, historically, uniforms started as a component of safety in aviation, which relied not just in their protective functions but as well in their capability to protect combat pilots from the natural elements of extreme heat and cold, particularly during the era of open cockpits. Protective flight clothing has evolved significantly through decades and even centuries. The sophisticated development in protected flight clothing, however, failed to influence adaption in the civil air transport industry. Using grounded theory through archival literature analysis, the Capstone Project revealed advantages ...

Q1: The Public Authority of Civil Aviation (PACA) of Oman is the government institution that is the responsible for the air commercial and private air transport of the Oman Sultanate. The PACA does not have any responsibility for the military air transport which is the responsibility of the Ministry of Defense and the Military Forces of Oman . The PACA has created thanks to a Royal Decree of the Sultanate since 2013 with the intention to regulate all the civil aviation activities of the country and be aligned with the security and control requirements of the most important aviation and ...

ABSTRACT

Safety in aviation relied historically not just in the protective features of the airplane itself but as well in the capability of flight clothing to protect pilots from the natural elements of extreme heat and cold, particularly during the era of open cockpits. Protective flight clothing has evolved significantly through decades and even centuries. The sophisticated development in protected flight clothing, however, failed to influence adaption in the civil air transport industry. Using grounded theory and archival literature analysis, the Capstone Project revealed advantages and disadvantages of protective flight clothing, its evolution through history primarily from the British military ...

Introduction

The aviation industry is currently under rigorous public scrutiny due to its detrimental impact on the environment. The adverse environmental impact of air travel begins even prior to take off. The severity of damages to the environment caused by construction of airports is tremendous, such as cutting down massive number of trees to make way for the construction of runways. In addition, air travel consumes an enormous amount of carbon dioxide-based fuel that further contributes to air pollution and climate change. All of these detrimental environmental effects of air travel justify significant government intervention and active involvement of policymakers ...
