There are number of risk involved in the aviation especially in the terms of operation and safety as internal safety of the aircraft is an inherent function of management. Modifications and improvement in safety is a continual process however there are much safety kept in the form clothing, noise control, temperature and electrical control. For the aircraft there are fabrics for fire safety and precaution like Nomex, Kevlar and PBI. For fire safety and protection at high temperature PBI is the…

The reason why Harrison Ford’s plane crashed has been determined, according to Radar Online, August 5, 2015. The National Transportation Safety Board found the carburetor’s main metering jet was loose. This allowed too much fuel to flow, which led to the loss of power. This vital piece is necessary for the plane to run as it mixes the proper amounts of gas and air of the engines operating speeds. They believe the part loosened over the years stemming from the time when the plane was rebuilt and…

This case is about what really happened in Air France 447 and what were causes of it. After analyzing the only data available, which were cryptic set of communications, experts found out that mostly the crash happened because of human factors. The weather conditions were bad and after AF447 passed into clouds associated with a large system of thunderstorms, its speed sensors became iced over, and the autopilot disengaged. In the ensuing confusion, the pilots lost control of the airplane because…

The next-gen air traffic control system has many different components. However, one of them stands out from the rest. That will be the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast also known as ADS-B. The Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast system will help improve the tracking of aircraft and also help increase the efficiency of the entire air traffic system. The reasoning behind this is because it will allow tracking over areas without radar coverage, it will improve tracking of aircraft,…

job. There are numerous articles based on this topic, such as “Hypertension; Air traffic controllers ' stress affects later hypertension”, “Measures of Stress/Strain on Air Traffic Controllers in Simulated Air Traffic Control”, and “Critical Incident Stress Management in Aviation”, which emphasis the idea that air traffic controlling is a severely stressful job. The title, “Predictors of Psychopathology in Air Traffic Controllers”, indicates that the article is going to address that there are…

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…

Exercise 4: Gesture and Gaze in Conversational Storytelling In order to make their narrative more plausible and detailed, many will use more than just a verbal account to illustrate their stories. Instead, they use gazes and gestures. In conversational storytelling, which is a collaborative event, gestures have meaningful functions that are tied to the description of the story. Simply defined, a gesture is the movement of the body that expresses a thought or feeling. In the video-recorded…

Have you ever heard the term “situational awareness”? I simply describe this as being able to see the big picture and understanding what is going on all around you. When I flew an F-14 Tomcat for the Navy, I had to understand both what was happening inside my airplane and outside of it. To lose focus on situation could mean loss of life. On the inside, I had to keep an eye on radar displays and gauges. I also had to listen to the radio and process information. I also needed to be aware of…

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 depends on the ability to receive, select, process and distribute information on an on-line and basis in the control of individual aircraft or air traffic. In the same study Fedja and Milan (2008), it is defined as an incorrect…
