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…

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…

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…

Reliability Centered Maintenance started when a preventative maintenance plan were developed for the Boeing 747 airplane in the 1960’s by the maintenance steering group. In the RCM process in maintenance not only ‘what can be done’ is considered but also ‘why should it be done’. To facilitate the RCM process seven questions should be asked to complete the process. • What are the functions and performance standards of the asset in the operating environment? • How does the asset fail to perform…

from the air conditioning system. A flight attendant closed down the air conditioning vent on orders from the captain. However, four minutes later, the odor returned with visible smoke .The captains decided to divert the flight to a nearby airport for a quick landing and the crew put on the oxygen masks to begin descent. Following directions of the Swissair checklist titled "In case of smoke of unknown origin" the captain decided to turn off the power supply in the cabin. This caused the…

As a Journeyman my main focus was to build my skills into becoming a competent craftsman. I was skilled in removing, installing, preforming operational checks, and repairs on avionics systems and line replaceable units with minimal to no supervision. I could diagnose malfunctions using technical orders, schematics, wiring diagrams, integrated test systems and other test equipment. With my advance knowledge and capabilities I was able to maintain 24 hour alert readiness status on 10 assigned…

An Aerospatiale AS 355 Helicopter went down Oct 17 in Erwinna, PA killing pilot. The helicopter went down after the Doug Brigham, the pilot, lost control of the flight. According to a final accident report by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Brigham intended to depart on a scheduled repositioning flight from a Helipad behind Brigham’s home to an airport located 25 nautical miles southwest. A handheld GPS device recovered from inside the helicopter shows that Brigham flew only…

A method used for Airfield Seizure is Forcible-Entry. One of Forcible-Entry task is Rapid Runway Repair by using Light Airfield Repair Package (LARP). In order to conduct airfield repair and use LARP efficiently, the Army will call on Airborne and Air Assault engineer units for their capabilities, during forcible entry operations by inserting a heavy drop from the aircraft or external…

The Coast Guard’s Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron (HITRON) has a unique mission using specialized airborne use of force tactics for drug interdiction due to these mission complexities challenges arise. There is a shortage of experienced mechanics at HITRON due to the Precision Marksman Aviator (PM-A) Program. The Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMT) and Aviation Electrical Technicians (AET) rates suffer at the unit due to the fact that the PM-A program does not limit the number of…
