It can be assumed that since World War 1 aircrafts have been a major, progressing, factor in not only the U.S. but all over the world. Over the century, aircrafts have helped transport anything from mail, people, animals, and even food, to different places all over the world. Flying has made transportation faster, easier, and all around better. Of course there has been a few mishaps along the evolution of flying but modern technology, a better understanding, and better training have brought the…
This Engineering Authorization (EA) is issued to incorporate______. Currently, the Boeing 777’s rubstrips, located where the fairing meets the strut, do not have any wear limits. These rubstrips have been found to be very worn when they have been inspected, in some instances up to almost 80%. This EA is being created to establish a set of guidelines for when it is necessary replace these rubstrips. By creating this EA, it will allow us to also start creating wear limits on these rubstrips. This…
(United States. National Transportation Safety Board, 2010). In the wake of the accident loved ones of the deceased, in an unprecedented effort after a plane crash, successfully lobbied Congress to create new regulation requiring the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to craft new laws that required better training record keeping, improved rest rules, and set minimum piloting experience required to be an airline pilot. This new legislation required a complete, industry-wide restructuring in…
Lisa Phan Professor Gary Jason Philosophy 312 17 April 17, 2016 Delivery Drones Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as “drones,” are a military technology that is being developed for civilian and commercial use in the United States (2). The popularity of drones has risen in the past five years around the world. Drones are vastly being used for delivering medical aide, surveillance, search and rescue, etc (Daly 1). The commercial use of drones are also in the process of developing.…
Reflective Essay This past summer -- 2016 – was beautiful, amazing, fantastic, and I completely loved every second of it. I say this because I did a lot of things in this long vacation like, buy shoes and wallets. Speaking of shoes, I wore yellow Adidas originals when I rode the airplane to do a parachuting activity. Meaning I jumped off a plane, which was really scary. We didn’t even plan to go parachuting, it just happened so suddenly. I hadn’t wanted to go, but I am glad that I did it…
Test #2 Correction Question 2. Diagnosis Phase: When I first read the question, it reminded me of my multivariable calculus first class session where my professor used an example of a plane being landed in windy weather, to teach us a concept of vectors. Initially, I began to picture the scenario of a plane flying under consideration of wind being involved instead of looking at the numbers. Afterward, I drew the free body diagram of how the problem looked as using numbers and direction. Since…
Chapter 19: The exploration at The Navigator’s room and cockpit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the way, I was concerned about whether the Navigator may have something to show me or even if he has, would he allow me to have a look? Does Authorization also mean unrestricted access to all the data they have on the ship? Anyway, I have the right to know and I will insist that they give it to me. As I reached The Navigator’s room, I saw…
Transportation is more about than just moving from point A to point B. It is also a system which can limit or expand opportunities available to people based on where they live. America, in spite of being rich and powerful country, often seems falling apart for public transportation. It’s a nation with the huge highways and high dependence on the cars due to the shortage of alternative forms of transportation. The country is spending more on building the airports but has inadequate rail…
The Coast Guard’s Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron (HITRON) has a unique mission using specialized airborne use of force tactics for drug interdiction due to these mission complexities challenges arise. There is a shortage of experienced mechanics at HITRON due to the Precision Marksman Aviator (PM-A) Program. The Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMT) and Aviation Electrical Technicians (AET) rates suffer at the unit due to the fact that the PM-A program does not limit the number of…
In today’s aviation world, aircraft are designed with multiple systems to aid aircrew with all aspects of flight; however, the only factor that aircraft manufacturers can’t eliminate is the integration of human error. “Human errors represent the mental or physical activities of individuals that fail to achieve their intended outcome”*. In order to properly predict human error factors we must first understand some factors that make up human error, such as “fatigue” and “situational stress”.…
