The purpose of the report is to assist Aircraft Solutions (AS) in indentifying the most significant Information Technology (IT) security vulnerabilities. AS products and services are at the forefront of the industry and the protection of such is very important as they are an industry leader. The vulnerabilities that will be discussed are the firewall configuration, virtualization of their

Automation describes the company’s reliance on robotic control systems rather than human capital. In other words, as automation increases, Andrews will use more machinery to produce its products. Therefore, labor hours will decrease, and, in turn, the lower labor costs will reduce expenses. There are different approaches that Andrews will take for automation in the low and high-tech markets.

Weaknesses are a symptom that is prevalent in today’s information technology realm, indicating vulnerabilities and risks that come hand and hand with shared networks like Aircraft Solutions. With enterprises exchanging an unprecedented level of information over open networks, the vulnerabilities and possibility of compromised security by unwanted intruders is swelling up into a new type of beast.

This report is prepared to assist the aircraft solutions (AS), a well-known company for equipment and component fabrication in Southern California, in identifying the most important security vulnerabilities. This report also discusses possible threats, the likelihood of the threats occurring

Nicholas Carr, the author of “All Can be Lost: The Risk of Putting Our Knowledge in the Heads of Machines”, expresses the major concerns towards technology. In this story many crashes and devastating accidents are presented. These accidents could have easily been avoided through the proper knowledge of the air staff members. As a result of technology, pilots are trained less expensively and therefore are unable to react in urgent situations. For example, they now rely on auto-pilot to do more of the directing than they rely on themselves for. This idea is expressed throughout many other stories, demonstrating the lack of knowledge due to the increasing use of technology. One main point that Carr makes is that individuals are constantly starting

An assessment of Aircraft Solutions (AS) as to what Security Vulnerabilities that might be found, two areas discussed are Hardware & Policy weakness and impact.

The express companies delivered tremendous amount of packages. The big three players, Federal Express, UPS, and Airborne Express, collectively delivered more than five million

The airline needs to find innovative ways of improving its technology by keeping up to date with the current trends, online chats to assists consumers, permitting consumers to utilise data whilst on air. A proper marker research needs to be conducted to establish the preferences of the consumers. Employees need to be trained on technology upgrades.

The purpose of this study is to examine the performance of pilots flying multiple types of aircraft in an experimental setting. Pilot performance will be assessed by written tests and simulator sessions. This study will build on a previous field study, Pilots Flying Multiple Aircraft Types or Multiple Flightdeck Layouts, which was conducted for AVS 4504 Aviation Safety Analysis. The results of that study showed a need for a simulator study to further identify if pilots have issues maintaining currency in multiple types of aircraft.

The science of human factors in aviation has a come along way since the days of the Wright brothers in 1913 but it did not actually start with them. According to Dr. Bill Johnson, Chief Scientist at the Federal Aviation Administration, human factors “dates back to the 1600s when Leonardo da Vinci drew the Vitruvian Man, with all the anthropometric measures, [when] he was trying to decide if a human was strong enough to propel an aircraft” (FAA, 2012). Long after the work of da Vinci, human factors has brought advancements to aircraft design while creating a greater understanding of the human role in mishaps.

Flight management system (FMS) is a complex navigation system primarily used for in-flight management of the flight plan. The system has evolved to a level of sophistication that helps flight crews fly commercial airplanes more safely and efficiently. Functions performed by FMS can be varied with manufacturers and models, with the primary function of facilitating navigation. Four components are usually made for typical flight management systems, which are a data loader, control display unit (CDU), flight management and navigation computer, and global position sensor (Flight Management Systems, 2016).

This new product, not only allows passengers to move freely, but also serves twenty-one passengers, due to its wider build and length (Subordination). Airhostesses can fit an average of three trays or drawers, in each of the seven runners, making it more convenient for themselves and their passengers. This original and inventive idea supports and accomplishes any airlines’ future goals of being up to date with the latest technologies and innovations (Doublet).

The established major airlines, with the exception of those that were failing, shared in the traffic growth, but the new entrants made substantial inroads into market share. Between 1978 and 1986, the share of total traffic of incumbent trunk airlines declined from 94 percent to 77 percent.
