Essays on Pilot

Unidentified flying objects (UFO) refer to an apparent anomaly in the sky that is described as unknown phenomenon/phenomena. The observed phenomena are later described and explained removing the doubts surrounding it. However, some remain a mystery. There are scientific evidences that support the UFOs. Other Scientists tend to disagree with these evidences and dismiss the whole issue of UFOs as hoaxes and conspiracy theories. This paper describes the scientific support for and against the UFOs.
The evolution of the UFOs began with some mysterious observations and reporting. Some of the aerial observations could have been entirely astronomical in nature. Continue reading...

Amelia Earhart
Amelia Earhart was born July 24, 1897, to a lawyer's family. Her love for aircraft came during the World War I. Amelia was a nurse in the hospital next to the airfield. Not long before the round the world flight Earhart wrote that her two biggest desires were: to be the first woman in transatlantic flight (at least as a passenger) and the first woman-pilot to cross the Atlantic. Both her wishes came true. In June 1928, she flew from the U.S. to England, as passenger. And then four years later, May 20, 1932, she has repeated Continue reading...

Everybody has a dream. Some dreams are little, like, buying shoes or a getting a cat, and some dreams are big, like becoming a president. Some people take step to step in order to achieve their dreams. Other people prefer to sit and dream making nothing to achieve their wish. It is better for them to wait for luck or mystery. Moreover, this is uncertainty and hope that make a dream “dream”. So for many people dream is something they will not even try to achieve since they find it better only to believe in it and hope for Continue reading...

Article Summary and Reflection

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 Continue reading...

Inside myself, I have always known that one day I will be a pilot. So far, life revealed to me other sides, which I fully embraced while working as a technician, a transportation operator, a nurse or a managerial postal clerk. An Eastern philosophy states that the universe responds to people’s desires and wishes, but in its own time. While I took everything life had to offer me so far, I know that this is my moment to follow my dream. Because I had to support myself and my family, I could not dedicate financial resources to my Continue reading...

Augustine (354–430 AD) and Thomas Aquinas (1225 – 1274 AD) were both Christian philosophers who focused on God and what God expected of humanity. An application of their philosophies to decisions made in modern times reveal how much more rigid the lives of people were during the Roman Empire and the medieval period. However, there are still arguments to be made using these philosophical concepts of ethics. In the case of the newspaper columnist who signed a contract and then decided to break the contract because she wanted to accept a better job Augustine’s ethical principles, though rigid, Continue reading...

Introduction

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or “drones” as they are more commonly known have seen an amazing rise in popularity over the last few years. Everyone from the military and national spy agencies to Internet retailers such as Amazon.com and even individual hobbyists have increasingly made use of UAVs for a variety of reasons and purposes. Today, a future of UAV ubiquity is closer to reality than science fiction.
Historically, the largest user of UAVs have been the armed forces and although UAVs have been used by army units dating back to the Civil War; since 2001they have gradually become Continue reading...

Introduction

Spoilers may be defined as control surfaces that may be raised or lowered to interrupt the smooth airflow over the airfoil. This causes the separation of flow behind the spoiler. Flow separation causes a reduction in the lift of the airfoil, increasing its drag. When applied properly, these effects may be useful and may improve the flying qualities and controllability of the airplane (Mohammad, Ferdous, and Ome 1). Spoilers area hinged; plate-like structures installed to flush with the upper surface of an aircraft wing. The spoilers are hinged at one end to allow for a pivoted movement. When in Continue reading...

A flying aircraft requires some control. The control can be delivered by a human or a computer. In this case, a computer is much safer, faster and reliable in controlling a flying an aircraft than a human being. A Stability Augmentation System manages the control surfaces of an aircraft and alters their movement as necessary to make the aircraft more stable at all times. SAS is used to eliminate unfavorable effects such as short period oscillations, Phugoid oscillations, Dutch rolls and spiral modes. Stability Augmentation system together with a rate control system constitutes a flight management system. Rate control Continue reading...

According to Selye (1955) stress is defined as a condition which propels a unique body response in a manner that causes changes in physiological or structural aspects of our body. Another view proposed by (Lazarus, 1966) is that stress is a condition which compels an individual to feel exhausted when the demands of that person exceed the physical and social resources accessible to him.

Stress in Aviation

Pilots are really conscious at the time of their flights because accidents can happen with tragic repercussions. These accidents are a cause of series of mistakes committed at the time. Although the executor of mistake Continue reading...

English is a standard language used for communication between air traffic controllers and pilots of international flights. There are two forms of using English language, Standard phraseology and plain language. Standard phraseology employs standard structure, terminology and pronunciation to promote efficiency and accuracy. On occasions when the standard phraseology is not efficient, plain language is used to deliver vital information.
Communication error has been cited has the biggest causal factor in both level bursts and runway incursions into Europe. This replicated in other parts of the world where aviation accident statistics have been documented. In a bid to standardize Continue reading...

The industry has also embarked in massive airline partnerships in their sale of tickets to enable easier provision of services to over wide distances as they collaborate with various other airlines to cover more travelling distances. This makes it easier for the constantly increasing number of travelers to have their needs catered for.

Introduction

Pilots and their passengers experience physiological challenges when they are subjected to environment and the stresses of the flight. Thus, these physiological challenges are the ones that lead to the occurrence of aircraft accidents. It is interesting to note that human physiology is actually evolutionarily modified to be efficient up to roughly 12,000 feet above the sea level. In real sense, this is essentially the limit of physiological efficiency zone. For that reason, outside this zone, the physiological compensatory mechanisms might fail to cope with stresses of altitude. The objective of this paper is to scrutinize an aircraft Continue reading...

Technical Applied Science: Using the Scientific Method

Problem Statement

In general commercial and non-commercial flights are the two main categories of aviation. Pilot age became a particularly controversial issue in 1959 when the Age-60 Rule was made by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Age Rule has been lifted to 65 years so pilot’s can continue to fly through their early 60s. All factors causing air accidents are seriously investigated. If age is not a factor then time could be better spent resolving the problems that are factors in air accidents. This proposal seeks to evaluate the literature in order to determine whether or not Continue reading...

The dream of flying was born more than two thousand years before anyone ever made attempts realizing that dream. The kite was the first invention by human beings to know the skies. The first ever record of kite flying was in China where a Chinese general flew a distance of around two hundred meters in order to survey their enemy's territory. The ideas in flight went on advancing and from the kite the hang gliders arose. It is crucial for one to note that the Wright brothers were responsible for the first ever air borne structure that could carry Continue reading...
