116th Air Control Wing

This is a much too common occurrence for passengers when a bird hits the fans, wings, or even the cockpit of an airplane, 15% of the time it is fatal. Weather is also blamed on the way it affects the controls, it caused 12 percent of all accidents, since the 1950s. It has been complained by pilots and companies countless times to the FAA, but the only action they take is give a “sorry” message…

that uses Equivalent Lateral Spacing Operations (ELSO). This improvement allows reduced separation between successive departures due to the availability of new Standard Instrument Departure (SID) procedures, which provide more precise guidance and control for departing aircraft. Lastly, ATL has developed four weather conditions, modeled due to distinct operational differences between Instrument and Low Instrument conditions. Visual, marginal, instrument, and low instrument conditions divided…

challenging if one has not studied for it and impossible one is not familiar with aeronautical knowledge like weather sources and official radio communication procedures that even commercial drone pilots will be required to use in order to call air traffic control…

pilot is accountable for the Safety and Security of the aircraft, travellers, crew members and cargo under various air traffic circumstances. Roles of an airline pilot are somewhat stimulating which can be accomplished successfully if the pilot is well skilled in all phases. The main role is positively to fly the aircraft securely from the departure airport to the target. Other than the air route there are other concerns as well that the Pilot has to take care of it. Some of the main concerns…

terms of operation and safety as internal safety of the aircraft is an inherent function of management. Modifications and improvement in safety is a continual process however there are much safety kept in the form clothing, noise control, temperature and electrical control. For the aircraft there are fabrics for fire safety and precaution like Nomex, Kevlar and PBI. For fire safety and protection at high temperature PBI is the most preferred as it is the engineered blend of Nomex and Kevlar…

National Transportation Safety Board found the carburetor’s main metering jet was loose. This allowed too much fuel to flow, which led to the loss of power. This vital piece is necessary for the plane to run as it mixes the proper amounts of gas and air of the engines operating speeds. They believe the part loosened over the years stemming from the time when the plane was rebuilt and restored 17 year ago. The National Transportation Safety Board believes that because there was no manual of…

case is about what really happened in Air France 447 and what were causes of it. After analyzing the only data available, which were cryptic set of communications, experts found out that mostly the crash happened because of human factors. The weather conditions were bad and after AF447 passed into clouds associated with a large system of thunderstorms, its speed sensors became iced over, and the autopilot disengaged. In the ensuing confusion, the pilots lost control of the airplane because they…

the trend of how mechanical errors and human errors cause aircraft accidents. It has been mentioned that human error has been implicated in 70 to 80% of all civil and military aviation accidents. Errors and violations are two main unsafe factors in air transportation. It contains three different errors: decision errors, skill-based errors, and perceptual errors. The systemic analysis about the human errors in aviation accident provides evidences that aircraft crashed can be avoided by correct…

(maintenance, labor). Considering that all the variables in play are influenced by the technological aspects and human management, it is quite explainable. Additionally, it is evident that tangible elements, for instance, the technology used in Air traffic control, maintenance pattern, and design have a significant role to play in matters concerned with aviation safety. This, therefore, poses that up to a certain level, it is possible to understand and implement safety procedures in an…

The next-gen air traffic control system has many different components. However, one of them stands out from the rest. That will be the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast also known as ADS-B. The Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast system will help improve the tracking of aircraft and also help increase the efficiency of the entire air traffic system. The reasoning behind this is because it will allow tracking over areas without radar coverage, it will improve tracking of aircraft,…
