116th Air Control Wing

Introduction This literature review is looking at the problem with the future of global aviation, and making the aviation industry more competitive, increasing profitability and reviewing sustainability. It is important because the aviation industry has seemed to have times of success, but also times of struggle. The problem is best summarized by “Mr Bisignani said that the time had come to chart a long-term strategy for the industry to break out of its constant cycle of 'feast and famine '…

include managing Air Traffic Control duties, employees, and facilities into an independent corporation (Halsey, 2015a). Paul Rinaldi, President of the Air Traffic controllers ' union and Doug Parker, CEO of American Airlines, are among those who support privatization. (Subcommittee on Aviation, 2015). A…

“Forthcoming drone rules might require all operators to have a license and limit flights to daylight hours, requiring dozens of hours in the cockpit of a manned aircraft, and limit flights to under 400 feet and within sight of the person at the controls.” In 2014 The FAA said, “As it stands now, drone usage is in a state of legal limbo, leading to confusing and potentially dangerous uncertainty in appropriate use.” The FAA has faced delays in implementing new rules they said because of federal…

complete replacement of the mechanical linkages between the pilot's stick and the control surface actuators by electrical signal wires, which offers a convenient and logical solution to many of the control system problems associated with modern high performance aircraft and aerospace vehicles. However, there exists a strong reluctance on the part of both pilots and flight control system designers to remove all flight control cables and mechanical linkages and rely solely on electrical signals…

failure, 2015), many reasons cause the engine failure, some of it primary causes (mechanical engine failure) and the other are secondary causes such as the unpredictable weather, pilot lack of knowledge and the amount of time that have been spent in the air, the time for this failure to occur is not predictable, it takes the pilot 4 seconds to realize that he has engine failure. Mechanical engine failure is losing the engine’s oil pressure without increase in the temperature of it because there…

executive secretary of the Ethiopian Air Traffic Controllers Association, I was able to communicate with the company management the benefits of cockpit flight familiarization. The familiarization experience allows Air Traffic Controllers to ride in an aircraft cockpit with commercial pilots as part of an educational program (recommended by the FAA). I worked tirelessly to get a budget approval from the Civil Aviation Authority. This program gave a chance to the Air Traffic Controllers to see and…

airlines. Air travel continued to expand, and airport operators became concerned for its safety. They developed traffic control visual signals aimed at promoting aviation safety. Additionally, aviation leaders believed that the airplane industry required regulations intended to maintain and improve the security standards before realizing maximum potential. The aviation leaders concern led to the formulation of Acts regarding the safety of air travel. Key among these regulations was the 1926 Air…

Gwen A. Bennington, Esq. (a.k.a. Dr. G.) was the founder and President of the The Real Angels Network (TRAN) and she coined the phrase that real angels fly under the radar. In other words, it is better to be a good person helping others from the place of unconditional love, as opposed to seeking notoriety (Matthew 6:1-8). Dr. G was a sociologist and practiced law specializing in civil liberties and family law. The Real Angels Network was a small, but not an insignificant organization. Dr.…

conditions like turbulence or flight control inputs , in another meaning , stability is the ability to keep the aircrafts in the chosen altitude and for aircraft, there are two types of general stability: static and dynamic. In civil aircrafts , we only care about performance not stability but that does not mean that stability of a civil aircrafts is not important especially in case of extreme conditions like weather conditions and bird strike The pilot has direct control only of the…

the-fence access), or via truck dock through air cargo sort/staging facilities (Air Cargo 2013). There is currently over 500,000 square feet of cargo warehouse space, with aircraft parking available for up to 27 all-cargo wide body aircraft parked in two rows (Air Cargo 2013). In total, the Airport has 14 cargo buildings with 253 truck docks, providing access to 630,440 square feet of building space and 237,450 square yards of dedicated air cargo ramp (Air Cargo 2013). The airport has 2 fixed…
