situations to reflect current industry knowledge based on research and lessons learned from past relevant accidents Require Boeing to establish an appropriate replacement interval for air turbine starter valve-air filters installed on all MD-80 series aircraft. American Airlines was recommended to evaluate their CASS program to determine why it failed to identify deficiencies in its maintenance program associated with the MD-80 engine no-start failure and to also discover the lack of compliance…

So we went back to our hotel, showered and got dressed for work. It was eleven forty-five when our squadron started for the base. We did not have a car, so we had to walk. It was only about a five minute walk though. On the way to work the rest of our squadron informed us that they had seen us trying to surf and thought in was the funniest thing they had every seen. Mike and I were quite embarrassed and quickly tried to change the subject, but they could not get over how entertaining we had been…

the status, background and issues faced by the program. The Department of Defense (DoD) recognized, that now more than ever, the services need to consolidate resources and jointly tackle the shared issues of high acquisition and operational cost of aircraft. From its conception the F-35 emerged as a result of defense contractor competition. The U.S. government for the first time in history witnesses a direct engineering battle between Lockheed Martin and Boeing, a well-known commercial airline…

Can you imagine sitting in an airplane that’s been stripped of every non-essential part to reduce its weight? Extra fuel tanks added to extend its range to absolute maximum, sitting on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, which It’s never taken off from before. General James Doolittle not only volunteered but also led a Group of 80 airmen on this very dangerous mission that changed the course of the Pacific theater of World War 2 called the “Doolittle Raid” (Nelson, C, 2002). The purpose…

percent of all non-fixed totals (p. 1). FAA (2013) documented cost are either direct or indirect, variable or fixed. Some of the expenditures fall into more than one category. Aircraft operating cost is a direct expense (p 4-3). Indirect operating expense encompass a variety of expense such as advertising, aircraft servicing, administrative fees, passenger services, traffic servicing, reservations, and sales (FAA, 2013, p. 4-3). Variable cost include fuel, oil, maintenance, and crew…

25, 1979, American Airlines Flight 191 took off from Chicago-O’Hare International Airport on a routine trip to Los Angeles International Airport. Just 30 seconds into flight, the airplane, a McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 aircraft, began to stall, which resulted in a nose dive and the aircraft crashed into an open field just 4600 feet northwest of the end of the runway. Weather conditions on the day of the flight were clear, with visibility reported up to 15 miles. The investigation into the failure…

EGLINAFBI11-201. The memorandum states, “All military aircraft operating in airspace delegated to the Eglin Radar Control Facility (ERCF) shall adhere to the following procedures to the maximum extent possible unless established on a published approach/departure procedure or deviations are dictated by Air Traffic Control (ATC), safety, or mission constraints/ requirements… Turbojet, Propeller, and Tiltrotor Aircraft. All turbojet, propeller, and tiltrotor aircraft shall maintain at or above…

aviation in the types of aircraft and the materials used to build them. When World War I concluded, the United States had a surplus of military airplanes and pilots who were eager to demonstrate…

airplane that crashed in this accident was a Bombardier Aerospace Q400. The Q400 is a twin-engine airliner designed and manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace in Canada. The operator of the crashed aircraft was Colgan Air. In 2009, Colgan Air was a small carrier operating regional flights for the major carriers. The Flight 3407 was a code-shared flight operated…

accomplishment. Just over a century ago the act of flight was something humans only conceptualized, moreover imagined what soaring through the air by way of a mechanical invention felt like. Technologies both hard and soft evolved with the invention of aircraft flight. Rapid expansion in the world’s technologies allowed for the act of flight to be possible in a relatively short time span of human history. Hard and soft technologies alike have fostered this development of growth for companies…
