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

American Airlines Flight 1420 tragically crashed on June 1, 1999. The flight crew attempted to land the McDonnell Douglas DC-9-82 in Little Rock, Arkansas during a thunderstorm. The aircraft overran the runway, crashing through several obstacles before coming to rest 800 feet from the end of the runway. Eleven people were killed and over 100 injured. This preventable accident was the result of human error, miscommunication, and poor decision making. After investigating the Flight 1420 crash, the NTSB made several recommendations to the FFA addressing the issues that led to the accident in an attempt to prevent such errors in the future.

At Aircraft Solutions, there are several samples of concerns that could lead to a breach of information or compromised branch of their system. Due to the design of their geographical layout, secure connections that encrypt

Airbus was planning to introduce the A380 in direct competition to Boeing 747 to compete in the large aircraft sector. The rivalry between Airbus and Boeing was already intense. Boeing’s market share reduced from 70% in 1974 to 45% in 1990 while Airbus’s market share had increased from 1% to 34% during the same time (Exhibit 5). Encouraged by this increase in market share, Airbus was contemplating the introduction of A380. Development of new product line is extremely expensive in the Aircraft sector. Following is a quantitative analysis of the project to calculate the risks involved in introducing a new line of Aircrafts.

Flight 1420 was a disaster that taught the aviation community several important lessons. All the Seven Major Elements of Aviation safety can be seen as contributing factors but the greatest factor was human error and the impact of pilot fatigue. With proper preventative measures, the pilots probably would have had the time to arm the MD-82’s spoiler system and the flight would have touched down safely.

The NTSB used every source they had to investigate Alaskan Flight 261, resources that did not even seem applicable. Everything from retrieving the accident to digging into maintenance and company records, also pulling all parts that were left from the wreckage apart and examining them as thorough as possible. Then coming to a conclusion and recreation of what exactly happened prior to and during the accident.

Another author takes a different approach to the effect the military had on the airplane in the military impact school of thought. Christine MacLeod suggests in his article that the military was the main reason for the advancement of the airplane at such a rapid pace. With inventors coming from all corners of the nation to pool their knowledge to advance the airplane during the war, and inventions getting mixed into other inventions, MacLeod figured that without the war to spur them on at such an incredibly rate, the airplane wouldn’t have advanced as far as it had. He analyzes the many lawsuits and compensations the United States had to credit to inventors due to the mixing of inventions and developments individuals had during the war. There

In the middle of 1990’s, Boeing began its plan of acquisitions and in 1996 it paid $3.2 billion for the aerospace and defense holdings of Rockwell International which was responsible for the Space shuttle and International Space Station programs, as well as activities in launch systems, rocket engines, missiles, satellites and military airplanes. Furthermore, in 1997 Boeing completed a $14 billion acquisition of McDonnell Douglas which was the world’s number three maker of commercial aircraft. The acquisition

With 1988 operating income of $801 million on a revenue of $8.55 billion, American Airlines, Inc. (American), principal subsidiary of Dallas/Fort Worth-based AMR Corporation, was the largest airline in the United States. At year-end 1988 American operated 468 aircraft on 2,200 flights daily to 151 destinations in the United States, Bermuda, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, France, Great Britain, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Spain, Switzerland, Venezuela, and West Germany.

To survive a plane crash or a shipwreck it would take miracle . People in situations like these, have survived the terrible occurrence that happen to them by just sticking together. I probably don't know what it take because personally this will probably never happen to me ,but if it did then i would put to use the skills Bear Grylls tought me on tv . I would help my loved ones first then other people. I believe probably helping other would lower my chances at living because others would compete for food and we would probably end up dying.

Classic Airlines needs to be vigilant and take smaller steps to ensure the changes taking place will hold true. At that time, Classic Airlines can be more assertive and aggressive with their endeavors to become the number one airline company.
