Aircraft

This is a surveillance technology in which an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation and periodically broadcasts it, enabling it to be tracked. The information can be received by air traffic control ground stations as a replacement for secondary radar. It can also be received by other aircraft to provide situational awareness and allow self separation. ADS–B is "automatic" in that it requires no pilot or external input. It is "dependent" in that it depends on data from the…

However, as air traffic increases, the controller workload becomes the primary determinant of airspace capacity. Therefore, factors affecting workload such as number of aircraft per hour, average flight time per sector, number of potential conflicts, number and quality of coordination units, number of level changes are taken into account to calculate airspace capacity. Real-time and fast-time simulations are often used in…

using a single model of aircraft (the Boeing 737-800) which may help to reduce training cost, maintenance cost, purchase and storage of the spare part of the aircraft. Since these types of aircraft models are widely used the schedule of flight crews become more flexible. Thus, Ryanair can easily recruit the flight crew especially the pilot as most of them are familiar with handling these types of aircraft model. Other than that, Ryanair is purchasing a large number of aircraft from Boeing which…

EasyJet Network (detailed data shown in the appendix 2) The business is boasted over 200 aircraft, over 600 routes, operating from over 130 airports, over 30 countries and 23 bases. There are 55 million passengers and oversea the safe arrival of over 1200 daily departures annually through EasyJet. Making travel easy and affordable for their customers is EasyJet's passionate. Customer experience is at the heart of everything EasyJet do, every customer is committed to making the travel experience…

Everglades Search and Rescue (SAR) in the Florida Everglades provides a unique challenge due to the remote location and operations can often only be attempted by boat or aircraft. A suitable replacement for manned aircraft in these search and rescue operations could be a quad rotor unmanned aerial system (UAS). Manned aircraft, whether fixed wing or helicopters, are expensive to fly and maintain. A fleet of small quad rotor UAS equipped with a SAR specific sensor loadout, could be carried on…

Duties of Airline Pilot An aircraft 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…

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…

volume of world trade shipments, it is over 35% by value – meaning that goods shipped by air are very high value commodities, often times perishable or time sensitive 6. Jet aircraft in service today are over70% more fuel efficient per seat kilometer than the first jets in the 1960s. Globally, the average occupancy of aircraft is around 80%, greater than other forms of transport. 7. Around 80% of aviation CO2 emissions are emitted from flights of over 1,500 kilometres, for which there is no…

the mass production of aircrafts, managing the air traffic becomes harder and eventually the current managing system will fail against the enormous number of airplanes navigation the sky. Unless the whole system is upgraded, the task will be impossible in the near future. Some agencies across the world like FAA and EUROCONTROL, have possessed the power to change the aviation reality by developing modules that will give…

Aviation (DCA) Malaysia, safety is a principal matter of preventing collision between aircraft with other aircraft, assisting aircraft in avoiding hazardous weather, assuring that aircraft do not operate in airspace where operations are prohibited such as in military training airspace, and assisting aircraft in distress. Orderly and smooth flow directed by the air traffic controllers will assure the efficiency of aircraft operations along the routes selected during the flight time. It is…
