Freedom Airlines Flight 11: Seraphine

Imagine being greeted by monstrous crowds, them all cheering your name, celebrating your many accomplishments, aspiring to be YOU. Amelia Earhart lived out that scene. Affectionately called “Lady Lindy”, she accomplished many things, destroyed stereotypes, inspired many, all done before mysteriously disappearing over the Pacific Ocean. Amelia’s life was full of inspiration, hard work and courage, but her disappearance still remains a mystery, which is active, along with the legacy she left behind.

September 11, 2001: “Um, yeah, she’s kind of cute, but I don’t think she needs to come home with us. When are we going to give her back?” This was the day my mother broke the news that my sister Sarah was coming home with us forever—my world was changed. For months I had known that my mom was pregnant, and I was excited. I told my kindergarten teacher, principal, and guidance counselor that I would be delighted to have “one-thousand sisters!” However, for a year after my sister’s birth, I continued to ask when we would be returning Sarah to the hospital.

Advantages: Allowing to let the pilots choose when to use automation equipment would result in them being more vigilant and aware of what the aircraft is doing instead of assuming its right.

Have you ever wondered what was WWII? Do you ever wonder what vehicles they used? Have you ever been interested in learning some of the model types of aircrafts they used? The most popular and preferably the most efficient was the TBM Avenger Torpedo aircraft.Some possible theories of what happened to Flight 19 have been focused on communications, the weather, and the Bermuda Triangle.

This shocking tale recounts the experiences of Jillian Stevens-Stern, a senior flight attendant for the struggling

I agree with the point outlined in the discussion board what… the runway is closed? In middle school I was able to learn some basic Latin language, and it still in my mind the word: “Errae humanum est”, to err is human! As long humans remain actor in any system, there will be errors, and in aviation these errors can certainly have a catastrophic result. Sometimes, pilots due to negligence, rush and may miss some critical information such as notams, describing for example a taxi or runway closure. Many of you, unfortunately, remember the Comair flight 5191, as one the most tragic accidents in recent years. The airplane, according to the NTSB mistakenly took off on a short runway and crashed into a woody field in Lexington, Kentucky

Flight 457 heading to England from Boston went down on January 22, 2005. There were no survivors, or so they thought so until one man emerged from the wrecked site of the Boeing 747. He only had a few things with him, a will to survive, and basic survival knowledge.

It’s 7:45 am in New York City. The alarm woke Mia and I up early because we had a very big interview to go to. This kind of interview only came once in a lifetime, And Mia wasn’t playing around when it came to her job. So we wasted no time and jumped right into the shower. When we got all ready it was 8:15 and the interview was at 8:30, Mia took forever to get ready. By the time she was ready it was 8:30, So we started walking to the World Trade Center, thats where the interview was located. We got there at 8:45 and as soon as we arrived, a plane struck one of the Twin Towers! Mia didn’t hesitate to take pictures of the crash site, as well as the hysteria that was taking place. No one knew whether this was an act of terrorism or simply mistake.

Pilots and non pilots. We will explore three different aviation accidents that could have been prevented if the aircraft was maintained properly. And why pilots should make sure to do a thorough walk around of their aircraft. This is not to say that faulty maintenance was the cause of each of these accidents. There was pilot error reported in these accident investigations.

An awe struck twelve year old girl named Aleka Yiorpalidis was traveling alone around 9,219 miles away from her home in Johannesburg, Africa. There she was on March 1984 or 1985, she was wearing her beige and brown skirt dress with her ¨little lady heels¨. ¨I hated those heels my toes were swollen¨ she stated. As Aleka was seating herself in the plane, she was not frightened at all, but it was very different. She thought that America was not so far away, but little did she know that her flight was approximately 30 hours long. Alexa had to leave africa for the reason being that her parents got into a divorce, then her mother got custody and had to move to America with her step-dad. Her step-dad worked for the Martin Marietta company. That is

Madeleine McCann, a helpless three year old girl, taken from her family’s holiday apartment in Portugal on May 3rd, 2007. It was late that evening, around 10:15, when Kate McCann, Madeleine’s mother, left a dinner with friends to go check on her sleeping children. Kate checked on Madeleine’s twin brothers first and found them fast asleep in their beds, but when she entered Madeleine’s room in was eerily quiet. She didn’t hear the steady breathing of her child or see a small little bump in the bed where Madeleine's small body should have been laying, instead she found jumbled blankets and a little dent from the child’s head in the pillow. Kate frantically rushed back to her husband and the others at the dinner party to inform them of Madeleine’s

     While rummaging through my pocket I discover a familiar object. My metallic zippo lighter. I stroke the smooth metal with my thumb. I wish I had a cigarette. I was angered to find my lighter was out of fluid when I went to light one just before take off. I needed that cigarette. Something was wrong, I could sense it. I could sense it then, hours before the crash and still now I wish I hadn’t boarded flight 579, non stop to Victoria, Canada. I despised the name. Why I went I still couldn’t say. It was on a flight just as this one that my grandfather had been killed.

The following information is based on the findings of the BEA (Bureau d’Enquêtes et d’Analyses) (2012); On May 31, 2009, Air France flight 447, an Airbus A330, took off from Rio de Janeiro enroute to Paris, France. After a normal departure the crew climbed to their cruising altitude of FL350. The captain was designated as the pilot monitoring (not flying) and the first officer was the pilot flying. About 3 hours into the flight the crew noticed some weather ahead and began to encounter slight turbulence. Due to performance limitation on the aircraft the crew was unable to climb above the weather. The turbulence increased slightly as the flight continued, but less than 10 minutes later the turbulence stopped. Once clear of the turbulence the captain woke the second first officer to take his place. The captain stayed while the first officer briefed the second officer, then exited the cockpit. The first officer (pilot flying) occupied the left seat, while the second officer (pilot monitoring) occupied the right seat.
