It wouldn't take long for me to find out. I would have never thought that my vacation to Thailand in June of 2017 would change my life. It…

Chapter Seven “The Ethnic Theory of Plane Crashes” #14. Gladwell uses plane crashes as an example for why communication is so important. On page 184, Gladwell says, “The kinds of errors that cause plane crashes are invariably errors of teamwork and communication.” This philosophy applies not only to plane crashes, but also to school projects, or relationships, or even something as small as playing a board game with a group of friends. In situations where people are expected to work together and…

Many people are drawn to the thrill seeking risk of skydiving, and some people become overconfident in their next jump and forget to pull their parachute (as seen in Star Trek The Future Begins). In Into the Wild, Krakauer displayed many themes. The importance of risk taking, one of the main themes, is constantly brought up throughout the book. Through into the wild, krakauer demonstrates the importance of slight risk taking to develop confidence and happiness, while being wary of taking…

programs as “…a means to measure an organization in a proactive way, independent of a specific event that would trigger an investigation”. An audit is typically comprised of inspections of the check-in and gate areas and processes, as well as the aircraft turnaround procedure. Arguably, the most accurate method of appraisal of a ground handling agent’s competency is by using the ‘mystery shopper’ method, since it does not allow for them to prepare, and as such, provides airlines with authentic…

In mechanical error, systems may fail beyond the capability of the crew. Some of the mechanical errors have been as a result of poor plane design. Bad weather is responsible for 12% of plane crashes…

proposed its Sikorsky S-97 Raider. Four years later, the company finally unveiled the first full production model of the groundbreaking scout and attack helicopter in the company’s facility in West Palm Beach, Florida. The objective set for the new aircraft is to replace the army’s OH-58D Kiowa Warrior. However, specialists think that if the manufacturer’s claims about the Sikorsky S-97 Raider capabilities are true, it is almost certain that its reach will grow to cover a much wider audience.…

Chapter 4: Dynamics of aircraft degradation The dynamics of the number of failures is accumulated to help predications of mechanical failures especially basing on last repairs or periodic inspections. Factors are related to procedures and the time as well as extent of maintenance being the variable under control as the methodology is applied. The aircraft system is designed with an intended or expected life period, where period refers to time units (hours) of being used. Failed state, is reached…
