Analysis Of The Incident Of Aircraft Boeing 737

One of the most controversial and important air crash linked to human error of the modern world happened on the night of February 12, 2009. Colgan air flight 3407, operated by Continental Connection, was on final approach to runway 23 at Buffalo-Niagara International Airport as it disappeared from radar. The aircraft was a Bombardier Dash 8, a popular twin engine medium range turboprop Airliner used by many regional carriers. The aircraft entered an uncontrollable stall crashing into to a neighborhood 5 miles northeast of the airport killing all everyone on souls on board. The Captain, Marvin Resnlow and first officer Rebecca Lynne were behind the controls the night of the accident. The NTSB report determined error by both pilots cause the aircraft to crash. Thus, pilot fatigues, improper recovery form a stall were contributing factors. The victim’s family members pushed for congress to overhaul airline regulations. The NTBS investigation delivery multiple findings that eventually led to a modernization of airline operations and pilot training.

Thomas had just arrived in the Reno-Tahoe international airport. He was with his Aunt Sandy and Uncle Dan. They had just arrived because they were going to see Sandy’s son graduate Top Gun school. Mark, Sandy’s son had been in the Navy and was a Lieutenant. He got chosen to be one of the best 1% of the navy’s fighter pilots. He had gone through the school and was graduating the next day. He was flying a F-18 Super Hornet. When Thomas heard about the trip he knew he had to go. He loved aviation. His mom said he could not go but one day before he left for school he left a note on the counter that changed his mom’s mind. His aunt got him a ticket and they left the next day. Thomas was waiting at the gate to thank the man that had given up his

The SHELL Model has proven to be an useful tool when it comes to using the human factors and aviation safety. On this case study, we will use the details from the NTSB report from the American Airlines Flight 1420 NTSB to study all the factors of the SHELL Model that were contributed to the accident.

Following the investigation of the American Airlines 1420 accident, the NTSB released a detailed and comprehensive list of the overall findings. Using data from the accident craft’s CVR and FDR, along with a thorough investigation of the crash site, the NTSB findings painted a clear understanding of the string events leading up to the crash. In addition, the events gave insight to the causes that prevented flight 1420 from landing safely in Little Rock.

On January 25th, 1998, Air Florida Flight 90 has smashed the head first into a bridge down into the rigid blockings of ice overlaying that Potomac River, located along the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States. This tragedy and inexplicable occurrence has had lots of witnesses and observers have discerned a “hero” in the water.

The attacks on 9/11 changed air travel for the foreseeable future, gone were the days you could park near the doors to the airport terminal and run to get to your flight. Now people fly with apprehension, wondering is there someone on this plane that want to kill me and what will I do if there is. The industry has made security a top priority as has the government to help alleviate those feeling. New government agencies were created, the most visible to the public being the TSA who handle security check points at airports, the FAA made changes to airport security to restrict access to the ramp areas to safeguard aircraft, in flight we now have many more Air Marshals to help combat threat once the plane leaves the ground. Aircraft now have reinforced

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

Indiscriminate of where or when the error occurred, it can result in longer hospitalizations, healthcare-associated infections, disability, and unfortunately even death (Ammouri et al., 2014). Due to the release of IOM’s report and the recent emphasis on reducing preventable errors by regulating agencies, organizations are being much more proactive about reviewing adverse events.

TWA Flight 800 Crash “TWA Flight 800, left New York and was headed to France. The airplane was a Boeing 747-100 and had logged more than 93,000 miles. This was the captain’s first flight as captain. ”[Billings, 46] The flight was delayed a little more than an hour due to a problem with baggage, but eventually took off at 8:18 PM on July 17, 1996 with 230 people on board.

American Airlines Flight 1420 is the aircraft that I will be writing about in this essay. It is classified as a runway overrun accident. The department that investigated the accident was the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Human factors will be the focus in this project by using the Human Factor Analysis and Classification System (HFAC) Model. I will be focusing on two different human factor areas and relate those to the chain of event that caused the aircraft to overrun the runway.

The flight crew had numerous distractions which contributed to the American Airlines Flight 1420 mishap. First, the flight crew was notified of severe weather report which was communicated to be approximately 15 miles away from the landing area (Runway overrun during landing American Airlines, 2001). The first officer communicated to the control tower that Flight 1420 was aware of the weather. Additionally, the captain and first officer perceived the aircraft had time to make the approach (Runway overrun during landing American Airlines, 2001). Second, the flight crew was aware of the crosswind conditions and a short conversation in the cockpit about dry weather conditions as opposed to wet weather conditions for

In February of 2009, Colgan Air flight 3407 crashed while on approach killing forty-nine people on board as well as one on the ground according to the official National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Accident Report (2010). In February of 2008, go! flight 1002 ignored several radio calls after departure and eventually flew past its destination and continued over open water according to the NTSB’s Report (2009). In April of 2007, Pinnacle Airlines flight 4712 overran the runway after landing at its destination airport. According to the NTSB’s official Accident Report (2008), there were no injuries. The incidents and accidents listed above all have one common factor: fatigue. Fatigue was shown to have played some role in Colgan 3407, go! 1002, and Pinnacle 4712.
