Aircraft ground handling

Analysis of the Crash The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the likely cause of the crash was that both pilots were fatigued (NTSB, 2010). Both the pilot and first officers failed to respond and correct a stall during snowy weather that the airplane could not recover from. Other contributions to the accident were the flight crew’s failure to monitor airspeed in relation to the rising position of the low-speed cue, the flight crew’s failure to obey sterile cockpit procedures,…

For my research project I picked the Tuskegee Aviator. They will alway be the most powerful air squadron amid WWII. I think this in light of the fact that there where a considerable measure bigot individuals that did not need them to succeed, however they accomplished more than simply succeed. They turned into the first dark Airforce pilots. It began when President Roosevelt orchestrated a meeting in September 1940 with three African-American pioneers and individuals of the Armed…

Continental Airlines flight 1065 from New York to Mexico City. “Excuse me, Mrs. Flight-Attendant Lady, I do not think that I am able to sit in the Emergency Exit Row of this airplane.” They had told us to go ahead and speak up. She looks at me like I have to be crazy, like she’d never heard this before, she looks for missing arms and says “Why are you not able?” and I say, “Because I don’t really want that responsibility. I seriously believe that in the highly unlikely event that I, or anyone…

In the recent year, United States airlines having been outsourcing their planes to becoming regional airlines. They are using cheaper tactics to get people to ride on their planes but are using crew members with lesser qualifications and want less pay to create a profit to their airlines, making the their passengers feel in danger and not safe what so ever. The Continental flight 3407 that crashed in 2010, happened because the pilot that they hired wasn't even owned by the Continental company…

sea. The Pacific Ocean’s “...bottom was littered with downed warplanes and ghosts of lost airmen. Every day of this long and ferocious war, more would join them.” (pg.70) When airmen is flying into a battle, they are putting their life at risk. An aircraft could be shot from land and its wing could be torn off or it could be shot in the gasoline tanks and explode. Weather also made flying difficult. Foggy and stormy days “...reduced visibility to zero...” (pg.85) This was a safety hazard for…

Due to the major hit airlines took, the had to be some changes. People became scared to fly, which scared companies because they didn’t want their business to go under. Although they were receiving federal loans from the government, their initial request was cut by over half. Since the attack happened on an airplane, airlines knew people were going to be terrified to fly again. They knew 9/11 was going to take a major toll on the industry but they had no other choice but to push through. They…

Crew Resource Management (CRM), what is it and why is it necessary to have it in place? The CRM was designed and implemented after two tragic incidents in aviation, that resulted in death and the destruction of two United Airlines aircraft. Incidents and crashes happen, weather and time do not always dictate when they are going to happen, but some could have possibly been avoided or may be handled more effectively and safely if the CRM was in use at that time. Unfortunately, at times it takes…

It all started with me in the car heading to the Chicago airport. My stomach is quessy and feels like I have millions of butterflies in my stomach from excitement. The car ride felt like we were driving to Florida. Once we got to the airport, I got out of my car with my family. I look around and there are thousands of people. It felt like we were if the safari with a herd of wildebeest. Everyone running from there terminal to the baggage claim. We get to our termmial and over a big intercom I…

When Jack and Lance figured out what was going on they gathered some other navy soldiers they got in a vehicle and sped to the nearest airstrip. They got in and got weapons ammunition and everything they could carry and got in a aircraft and flew as fast as possible to the Japanese navy base. They tried to sneak attack them but sadly the Japanese were prepared or them and when they tried to sneak up on the base the Japanese had soldiers in the field were they where and they fought…
