primary, basic, advanced and transition. Pilots began with primary training at Tuskegee Institute’s Moton Field, where they flew PT-17 and PT-19 training aircrafts. Basic, advanced and transition training were all conducted at Tuskegee Army Air Field.2 During basic flying training, pilots participated in both ground school and training on military aircrafts.3 In this phase of flight training the pilots learned meteorology and radio communication, along with flight instruction on BT-13…

agency in 2012 to create laws related to small civilian drones. Despite the issue raising significant concerns, it did not adversely affect the FAA operations. The 1958 formulated body possess a broad range of requirements that guide the operations of aircraft. Title 14 of the FAR act contains all the regulations by FAA that enhance the efficient and safe use of the US airspace. The paper provides a comprehensive analysis of…

International Airport at 1820 with a final destination of Orly Airport, Paris, France (Aircraft incident report, 1970). Flight 030 performed a scheduled stop in Montreal, P.Q., Canada. Upon departure of Montreal at 2226, flight 030 had no issues to report; however, at 2235 flight 030 experienced a number three engine malfunction, which had a fire warning associated with it, at 5,600 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL) (Aircraft incident report, 1970). The flight crew discharged the fire extinguishing…

Management Strategy at Qantas Airlines Qantas Airlines was started in 1919 by two former Australian Corps Officers, Paul McGinness and W. Hudson Fysh with two aircraft that they had obtained from Mascot Aerodrome in Sydney. The two officers were inspired by the assignment they had been given by the Australian Defense Department to survey an air race from Longreach in Queensland to Katherine in the Northern Territory (Guthrie, 2013). The duo used a Model-T Ford to travel through the stretch of…

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…

had arisen. CONSEQUENCES Days after the crash, all Concordes were grounded and resume service in November 2001 until the remaining aircrafts retired on 24th October, 2003 due to a lack of profit [5]. Although the Concorde accident had brought the supersonic travel era to an end, it had raised the attention to the safety of future flight regulations [4] and aircraft development [6]. ETHICAL…

riddled one with repeated bursts. The FW. flew steadily on its course in a gentle glide and crossed the French coast at 2,000 feet. The Spitfire pilot, flying close alongside, could see the German airman slumped over his controls, apparently dead: the aircraft had become a flying coffin carrying the body of its pilot back to France. Meanwhile Reesor had shot down the second FW., whose pilot baled out and came down in the Channel. Neptune was more merciful than Vulcan, for naval launches were…

flight attendant fall into two categories, primary roles ( safety, emergency and first aid) and the secondary roles (the comfort of the passenger). The crew is responsible for the overall safety and security of the aircraft and passengers. Flight attendants have to constantly check the aircraft before, during and after departure. The checks include the seats, the lavatory, the cabin and storage, among others. They also have to constantly check on the passengers, in case there is any emergency,…

they were on the right track. Information that the flight is in alternate mode is limited which presumably led the pilots to think that the aircraft cannot be stalled. Operational limitations: Air France was alerted to the problem of misbehaving pitot tubes by other crews and procedures were in place to repair or replace the pitot tubes on all its aircrafts. However this flight was allowed to fly without any modification, assuming there would not be any problem in the face of delay and money…

time were bi and tri planes. When using the planes as a weapon during World War I, the pilots would carry grenades and bombs to simply throw them out of the plane as they fly over the enemy lines. The development of aircraft was inspired by the requirements of the war because aircraft was mostly used for the…
