Traffic congestion

2.1 Air Traffic Control Air traffic control is the service provided by the air traffic controllers who are responsible for assisting, dispatching and maintaining a secure, safe and systematic flow of air traffic.[6] According to Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) Malaysia, safety is a principal matter of preventing collision between aircraft with other aircraft, assisting aircraft in avoiding hazardous weather, assuring that aircraft do not operate in airspace where operations are prohibited…

7. LEADERSHIP STYLES USED IN COCKPIT Leadership in aviation is not only important in organizational level but it is also very important in narrower sphere – cockpit. It is because in the cockpit are made main decisions upon which the flight safety depends, so and people on board lives. There captain is a leader, co-pilot is one’s follower. Like in all cases a lot of different leadership styles and combinations of them can be used in the cockpit but there I will analyze three leadership styles…

Search and Rescue in the Florida Everglades Search and Rescue (SAR) in the Florida Everglades provides a unique challenge due to the remote location and operations can often only be attempted by boat or aircraft. A suitable replacement for manned aircraft in these search and rescue operations could be a quad rotor unmanned aerial system (UAS). Manned aircraft, whether fixed wing or helicopters, are expensive to fly and maintain. A fleet of small quad rotor UAS equipped with a SAR specific…

One of my duties was to review and update the DHS air surveillance requirements. The document in question was from 2012 and was general in nature. To accomplish and to understand the complexities of the task, I needed to familiarize myself with how the original DHS air surveillance requirements were generated and were each line item originated. I discussed the origination of the current requirements with the Director of Air and Marine Operations (AMO) Domain Awareness (DA) and members from…

This is a surveillance technology in which an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation and periodically broadcasts it, enabling it to be tracked. The information can be received by air traffic control ground stations as a replacement for secondary radar. It can also be received by other aircraft to provide situational awareness and allow self separation. ADS–B is "automatic" in that it requires no pilot or external input. It is "dependent" in that it depends on data from the…

The Department of Transportation was established in October of 1966. The reason for its adoption was to ensure the safety of every American whilst traveling.

It is not abnormal to see passengers go on a plane frequently because of the reliability and added safety compared to a car on the freeway. When families go on vacation that is not domestic, they trust aviation to reach their destination. The importance of safety that makes these planes so trustworthy is an item that cannot be achieved by anything on the ground. Countless people think planes already have…

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) officially opened on July 3, 1925, with two 1,500-foot dirt strips set at right angles, and has evolved into the busiest airport in the world today. The complexities that surround airside operations enable the airport to support current flight operations. At the same time, modern facility and system upgrades will boost efficiency and preserve its international ranking. First and foremost, in order for Hartsfield-Jackson to sustain the…

challenging if one has not studied for it and impossible one is not familiar with aeronautical knowledge like weather sources and official radio communication procedures that even commercial drone pilots will be required to use in order to call air traffic control…

Duties of Airline Pilot An aircraft pilot is accountable for the Safety and Security of the aircraft, travellers, crew members and cargo under various air traffic circumstances. Roles of an airline pilot are somewhat stimulating which can be accomplished successfully if the pilot is well skilled in all phases. The main role is positively to fly the aircraft securely from the departure airport to the target. Other than the air route there are other concerns as well that the Pilot has to take care…
