Analysis of the Crash The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the likely cause of the crash was that both pilots were fatigued (NTSB, 2010). Both the pilot and first officers failed to respond and correct a stall during snowy weather that the airplane could not recover from. Other contributions to the accident were the flight crew’s failure to monitor airspeed in relation to the rising position of the low-speed cue, the flight crew’s failure to obey sterile cockpit procedures,…

In the cockpit, all of the instruments were destroyed and all of the levers were pushed into the cockpit panel even though the throttle quadrant was damaged in the crash. However, rescue and recovery personnel were unsure if they disturbed controls and levers, and between the fire and impact damage it was inconclusive the positions of the actuators. Tracing the flight controls cables showed that the cable had the proper integrity, but burning made actuator positions indistinguishable. In the…

Kingsford officially became recognised as a suburb on 25 June 1936. Prior to becoming its own suburb, it was mostly undeveloped land and was known as South Kensington. The suburb is mainly residential with a population of 14,100. It has a large commercial area where the markets, restaurants, hotels, and bars are found. Kingsford is surrounded by other eastern suburbs, making it close to Sydney, beaches, and other recreational areas. Housing The housing situation in Kingsford consists of…

The experience of a pilot or their confidence in the years can be described as significant factors concerns but not of more weight than aviation safety when it comes to flying. It is important that the industry player, stake holders and concerned parties have an understanding and the application of aviation safety policies and practices which is key to the safety of the passengers, civilian and the plane itself. There can be a significant decrease in accidents, injuries and deaths from aero…

Inclement weather induced stress on the crew of flight 1420 causing them to expedite the landing. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) mentioned in their accident report that flight crews operating under stressful conditions have demonstrated a resistance to changing their original plan until overwhelming data is present justifying another course of action…

Both physiological and psychological human related factors have contributed to either an accident or incident within the aviation industry. The classification includes the factors that affect the mental and physical ability of a pilot to operate an aircraft. The specific contributors include workload, situational awareness, familiarity, training and experience, fatigue and memory. Situational Awareness The term describes the ability of an individual which in the case is a pilot to beware of…

2.3.2 Human and Risk Aviation Milan (2000) studied the human risk Aviation in his paper, most accidents can be attributed to human error combined with other factors. 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…

On August 17, 1970, Air France Flight 030 departed from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport at 1820 with a final destination of Orly Airport, Paris, France (Aircraft incident report, 1970). Flight 030 performed a scheduled stop in Montreal, P.Q., Canada. Upon departure of Montreal at 2226, flight 030 had no issues to report; however, at 2235 flight 030 experienced a number three engine malfunction, which had a fire warning associated with it, at 5,600 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL) (Aircraft…

Amelia Earhart- Where Did She Go In this essay I will be talking about theories on where Amelia Earhart disappeared. Amelia Earhart is famous because she was the first lady to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. But the sad thing is she and her flying partner Noonan disappeared while flying her "Lockhead Model 10 Electra" on July 2, 1937. She was born on July 24, 1897 in Atchison, Kansas and disappeared near the Howland Island. They never found the plane or anyone's body. But if you see her look for…

The most important factor that caused the derailment of the train is, when Lac-Megantic was testing its mandatory hand brakes test, the hand brakes and air brakes were left together, so during the test, the freight train were held by the hand brakes and air brakes, which gave the impression that the train was held only by the hand brakes, so the engineer and the rail traffic controller thought that the train was secure. Before the accident, the locomotive was reviewed by MMA’s repair shop eight…
