The Civil Aviation Act 1988 (‘the CAA’) provides for merits review in this instance and potentially allows for new evidence heard and, if successful, a fresh decision made. The second decision is Instrument 1355/15 (‘the Instrument’), which prohibits all aero-towing of gliders at the Coorong Private Aerodrome. There is no clause for merits review within the Airspace…

future of global aviation, and making the aviation industry more competitive, increasing profitability and reviewing sustainability.

Training programs must b ongoing, in order to help employees to improve their knowledge. The last, but not the least one, is that cabin crew is not…

The aviation accident investigations concentrate on improving safety. The reviews of the scientific and technical developments that have remained the driving force for the enhancing safety have gone beyond the scale of the present undertaking. Earlier legislations concentrated on aircraft impact on the ground and not safety on board. The first air regulation took place on 23 April 1784 (Bibel 23). The regulation prohibited balloons frying without a special license. The regulation gave the…

Human errors have been present in the production, maintenance and operation of aviation hardware ranging through aircraft, airports and air traffic control facilities and equipment. Human operational errors can come about when workloads exceed work ability, e.g., in stressful situations. In aviation, working capacity primarily…

In 2008, the National Safety Council developed a table illustrating the odds of dying over a lifetime; they determined, a person has a 1 in 98 chance of dying in an automobile accident, while the same person has a 1 in 7,178 chance of dying in an aircraft accident. This means a person is about 73 times more likely to be killed on the road than in the air (Locsin, 2008). The unavoidable problem of perception in aviation is that, unlike auto accidents, air disasters result in a far greater loss of…

reactionary to real world events instead of visionary outlook. The aviation industry would enter into the United States at a relatively slow pace furthermore; there was minor growth from the Wright Brothers first flight in 1903 to mid-1925. The years between World War I and World War II experienced great advances in 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…

Most people who get into the airplane draw in their minds what will happen if the airplane crashed , what will cause the airplane to crash or what safety items this aircraft have in the case of any problem. “Aviation safety is a term encompassing the theory, investigation, and categorization of flight failures, and the prevention of such failures through regulation, education, and training.” (Aviation safety, 2015) If we search in the internet for the aviation safety hazards we will have…
