until a serious error has been made” (“FAA AIM”, 2015, p. 8-1-2). The issue with fatigue is that it reduces the pilot’s ability to preform and is known to have impacts on memory which can cause a pilot to forget items and some limitations of the aircraft. This is especially concerning for student pilots who have little flight time and therefore are more susceptible to forget limitations and memory items increasing the possibility…

approximately 200 to 300 feet—in order to navigate themselves via railways and roads; furthermore, landing aircraft at night required the use of bonfires on landing strips (Gibbs-Smith, 2013). As a result, aircraft accidents were fatal and routine. According to Van der Linden (2015), the Air Mail Act of 1925 ignited the commercial airline industry, giving birth to such commercial passenger service companies as Pan American Airways, Ford Air Transport Service, and Western Air Express.

When it comes to formulating new policy in regards to public policy, a numerous amount of effort is needed to be able to take a stance and establish a solution.

Many, if not all people, engage themselves in some form of stakeholdership throughout their lifetime. The opinion of…

The Vikings were raiders, farmers, and inventors. They had excellent hygiene. They had combs, razors, and enjoyed the hot springs more often than most era pens at the time.

Leonardo da Vinci created masterpieces of art and sculpture. Equally remarkable, his aggregate achievements in engineering, mathematics, anatomy, geology, physics, music, military technology, aeronautics, and a wide range of other fields, not only stood without peer in his own time, but were strikingly prescient for the distant future. He recorded his forward-looking ideas in thousands of notebook pages, known as codices. He produced one codex entirely on flight in 1505-1506, the Codex on the…

I did a post almost 3 years ago "Air Travel With Your Toddler" that I still use most of the tips for and Madison at the time was only a year old. As you know, I recently took my pre-schooler to London. It was not her first flight but it surely was one of the longest in quite some time. We have traveled to the Caribbean quite a few times, where we have had long layovers and our entire journey took over 9hrs. Now while we've been traveling since she was 3 months old, it seems like the older she…
