Introduction
In order to prevent risks and hazards to better increase flight safety, an observable event on October 25, 1999, an airplane crash that resulted the death of professional golfer Payne Stewart became one of the most well-known aircraft accidents that could be accredited to hypoxic factors. Investigating the causes of hypoxic factors that lead to human error in the environment of the cockpit which leads to crashes, and most likely resulting in fatalities of those who are on board will be assessed closely. The main causes of Hypoxia will be discussed to convey understanding of the severity of effects to the human body in relation to effects on the aviation industry. In addition to causes, preventive hypoxia detection systems will be discussed as well as preventive methods.
Scope
When presented with the task of a conceptual research paper, as a researcher I was left with the decision of choosing a problem in relation to the aviation industry that I wanted to go in depth on. My investigation and case study will focus centrally on Hypoxia and how it effects the central nervous system of the human body while in the aviation environment during phases of flight. The factors contributing to hypoxia are the air pressure of the environment at various altitudes and the maintaining safety levels in the aircraft cockpit cabins. Due to the fact that there is a danger caused by hypoxic factors, there will be a motion to examine first and foremost the cause and lastly what
is the air resistance on any given object that is moving in the presence of air. In the
There are many aircraft accident factors in which investigators need to pursue in order to come to a good conclusion on what the cause or causes of an aircraft accident were. A portion of what the investigator looks into is the human factors surrounding the accident. This highly diverse and expansive area needs to be systematically looked into to figure out if any human factors were causation of an aircraft accident. One model that investigators utilize in order to sift through the human factors that may be attributable to an accident is the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) Model. This Model breaks down human factors into four different sections, organizational influences, unsafe supervision, preconditions for unsafe acts, and unsafe acts of operators. Throughout this case study, the accident of American Airlines flight 1420 will be dissected utilizing the HFACS Model to uncover human factors issues with the aircraft operator organization, aircraft flight crew, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The student will investigate, compare, contrast, analyze and form conclusions to current aviation, aerospace, and industry-related topics in safety systems, including systems safety, industrial safety, accident investigation and analysis, transportation security, airport safety and certification, safety program management, and aviation psychology.
○ Important details include the duration of the anoxic episode prior to initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the duration of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (longer imparts poorer prognosis); as well as the cognitive state of the victim prior to the event
The safety protocol on a plane states, in case of a drop-in air pressure, each individual should place their oxygen masks on first before assisting any other individual. This is to ensure that if you are with someone who needs assistance you are able to effectively add aid. You are useless passed out and unresponsive, which would ultimately put other’s well-being at risk
While the NTSB was investigating the crash or American Airlines Flight 1420 the HFAC proved to be a very useful tool in finding the human factors involved and ultimately finding the causes of the crash. By using the HFAC Model the NTSB showed how things
It was discussed previously that in the TSA model both individual SA (ISA) and team communication form the basis for effective situation awareness. In the IDT model the patient is also considered a part of the team and has been added to the discussion of the cases. Each case will have a brief description of how the fall occurred followed by a discussion of the elements according to the TSA model.

Aircraft maintenance is very important for aviation industry and Aircraft are required to be maintained after a period of calendar time or flight hours or flight cycles. Aircraft maintenance is the inspection, repair, overhaul, modification of aircraft or aircraft component. Aircraft maintenance generally includes such tasks those tasks required to restore or maintain an aircraft’s systems, components, and structures with Airworthiness Directives or Service Bulletins and this is highly regulated, in order to ensure safe and correct functioning during flight. Aircraft maintenance requirements vary for different size and types of aircraft, experience which most aircraft need various type of preventive maintenance every 25 hours or less of flying time, and minor maintenance at least every 100 hours. Maintenance is influenced by some kind of operation, climatic conditions, storage facilities, age, and construction of the airplane. The profession of Aircraft maintenance requires extreme knowledge and adept expertise in performing the ingrained tasks. The aircraft maintenance engineer who is on duty he has a great responsibility to work professionally to ensure the safety of aircraft, customers and maintain the reputation of the team or company. The aircraft maintenance engineer normally works in an aircraft hangar and line maintenance and The aircraft maintenance engineer will undertake a number of processes including They may specialize by working on particular aeronautical
This essay is about sustainable aviation which is going to clarify the meaning of sustainability and arguing that in some cases the idea of sustainability is unachievable and in some cases is achievable. Sustainability is about environmentally friendly, corporate responsibility. Aviation is an increasingly important form of transport, providing very important mode of connections to both passenger and cargos.(Tony2005)aviation is part of sustainable transport but these are all linked together, with most of the companies trying to change them, sustainability’’ has arisen from ecology and the study of ecosystem’’ . Flying got may benefits and also supports the economy and jobs, taking people on holiday to see different people and different cultures . however it also has got lots of problems for those people living around airports and it is a beg and also growing contribution to climate change . it also explains how sustainable aviation has an effect on the environment, the economy an social factors.
