The quote, "[The pilot’s] plane is moments from disaster. But he cannot escape the dynamic dictated to him by his culture in which subordinates must respect the dictates of their superiors." represents a major idea of how cultural PDI plays a vital role in plane crashes. In the second sentence of the quote, it says “that he can't escape the dynamic dictated to him by his culture”. This is the idea of cultural PDI and this causes mitigation and other various harmful things that can lead to a…

Test #2 Correction Question 2. Diagnosis Phase: When I first read the question, it reminded me of my multivariable calculus first class session where my professor used an example of a plane being landed in windy weather, to teach us a concept of vectors. Initially, I began to picture the scenario of a plane flying under consideration of wind being involved instead of looking at the numbers. Afterward, I drew the free body diagram of how the problem looked as using numbers and direction. Since…

Reflection Writing this reflection about the experience of doing the professional project with a team has made me realize that communication is the most vital part in the project not only with clients but also with group members. My group has an important client, which is the Brisbane Airport Corporation. As we all know that Brisbane airport has a strict security system, which means we should accept security check when we enter the inside airport and their staff will follow us wherever we go in…

Helios Airways “Ghost” Flight 522 Abstract : Helios airways flight 522 carrying people to their holiday destination took a tragic dive into the mountains when the whole crew and passengers became unconscious. No one in air or on ground could determine in time what was happening. Investigation revealed that a pilot’s negligence on a routine check proved to be deadly for all 121 on board. Depressurization was the determined caused which happened when the pressurization was left on manual after a…

temperature, and the height at which is flown on, counting on 15 to 20 minutes. Can be flown with rain? A few drops of rain, our drone to it, is the drone is too wet and unfortunately we can not fly a real downpour. Remember that if the drone in the air, we can not wipe the drops of the lens, making the recording may possibly…

SUDDENLY A NOISE in the distance. Gabriel woke up in fright, trying to wake up Jonas. “Wake up wake up Jonas,” Gabriel yelled. “It’s a plane, don’t worry” Jonas exclaimed. “My memories they are not working” Jonas said in fear. The plane then came and it was hovering them. Jonas and Gabriel didn’t know what was going on. The plain piercingly said, “Don’t worry you are not in trouble you are being rewarded for your bravery.” The ship scooped them up and they went back to the community. Jonas…

watching a documentary series called Air Crash Investigation. Many of the flights described in this chapter had an episode dedicated to their study that I watched several times. After reading the chapter and watching the series, I know that pilots have to be extremely alert when flying an airplane, especially in regard to their word choices. One of the flights described in Outliers, Avianca flight 52, ran out fuel because the flight crew failed to notify the air traffic controllers that they…

mental health: Germanwings Flight 9525, LAM Mozambique Airlines Flight 470 and missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 possibly being one of them. Although an intentional crashing of an aircraft in rare and uncommon— according to National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) data base from 2003-2012 there were 2,758 fatal aviation accidents out of which only 8 were aircraft-assisted suicides (1) — it is impossible to ignore them. Therefore, in the next five years CRM will have to address the issue of…

The Ethnic Theory of Plane Crashes Rhetorical Analysis “Tell them we are in an emergency!” (Gladwell 193). Failure to communicate with Air Traffic Control is one of the leading causes of plane crashes worldwide. This quote explains how a Colombian co-pilot’s inherent politeness was the cause of a major airplane crash. Korean and Colombian air pilots are far more likely to cause a plane crash than Americans because of their high power-distance index rating; which means that their culture…

Planes and rockets are both a unique part of engineering that have many aspects that are important in design. Aerospace engineers often tackle challenges in the office utilizing data and overseeing operations on daily basis. There have been failures and successes that make this field one of the most rigorous fields. Aerospace engineering can be considered one of the least forgiving forms of engineering, but it is worth the effort and achievements that come with it. There are many different…
