Air traffic control

take control of the plane and you be the one who decides what direction the plane flies in and where it ultimately lands? Fly Like Sully In my book, I talk about Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger and the split second decision he had to make when he landed that A320 on the Hudson River. This is no easy thing to do. As a fighter pilot, I’ve faced a similar situation when my engine went out over water. You better believe you don’t survive a moment like that by throwing your hands up in the air…

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…

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…

ANALYTICAL REPORT ON AIR FRANCE FLIGHT 4950 CRASH INTRODUCTION As thousands of flights, carrying millions of passengers, fly over the globe each day, concerns on aviation safety has always been an important topic. This is particularly illustrated during of the happening of the 2000 Air France flight 4950 crash accident. This report will analyse the causes of this devastating incident, as well as the ethical implications therein, in aspects of the aircraft’s structural flaws, regulatory oversight…

wildlife authorities simply by flipping the wings of the geese (53).” Worth noting are two sections of the book namely: “Fly by Wire” and “Survival.” These sections are interrelated. The former details uncertainties associated with an automated flight control system and its intervention capabilities in the event of a disaster. On the other hand, the former explores alternative human options to safe…

This report is an analysis of crew fatigue and its adverse affects’ on the safety of a flight. The purpose of this report is to shed led light on the critical issue of pilot fatigue. In addition, to mitigate the number of incidents or accidents that come as a result of crew exhaustion. The aptness of each flight crew entangles both cargo and passengers operators alike, the Board members of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the pilots it regulates. A secondary audience would include the…

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…
