Importance Of Communication In Aviation

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.

“This theory is easily shown to have no validity as none of the aircraft used on that day bore the designation of ‘Q33’. It is often suggested that ‘Q33’ was a reference to a bus route, typically alleged to be

Contributing to the cause of the accident was the Cherokee pilot’s interrupted radio transmission, which led to the Beech 1900C pilots’ misunderstanding of the transmission as an indication from the King Air that it would not take off until after flight 5925 had cleared the runway. Contributing to the severity of the accident and the loss of life was the

The fact that some airplanes collide is evidence that there is too little air traffic control. Evaluate.

On September 19, 2008 at 11:53 pm eastern standard daylight time, a chartered Bombardier Learjet Model 60, N999LJ, owned by Inter Travel and Services, Inc., and operated by Global Exec Aviation, overran runway 11 during a RTO at Columbia Metropolitan Airport, Columbia, South Carolina. The aircraft crashed and burned after the crew was unable to stop the aircraft before departing the runway. The captain, the first officer, and two passengers were killed; two other passengers were seriously injured. The chartered passenger flight was headed to Van Nuys, California. The flight was ready for departure just prior to midnight. After analysis of the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) transcript, it was revealed that the flight crew received clearance instructions from the CAE ground controller to taxi from the northeast fixed-base operator’s (FBO) parking ramp to runway 11. After a short conversation with the first officer about which way to turn, the captain, who was the pilot flying, turned the aircraft left onto taxiway U. The controller provided a corrected taxi clearance after detecting

7:00 a.m. - Opana Point Radar station picked up a signal indicating a flight of planes approaching. It was thought to be an anticipated flight of B-17s so no action was taken.

The terrorist attacks on September 11 2001 will have a permanent affect on the global culture. Nearly every decision, process, design in the aviation community will be affected from these attacks. The masterminds behind these attaches could not have envisioned how much the world would change from these acts.

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 unit being re-supplied had moved into the town and set up a landing zone. The landing zone was in the middle of very tall trees that required a steep approach and confined take off area. This required a high angle with max power to take-off; once they cleared the trees, they could nose over to build airspeed. The crew landed and left three different times with great success and returned to the firebase awaiting further instructions.

Then on the next page, Carl Hoffman talks about aviation's disaster, including Air Flight KI-574, which was disappeared with 102 passengers. I have heard about that incident, and this was the huge problem for the people who was in

Approximately thirty minutes into the flight, the hijackers forcibly breached the cockpit and overpowered the pilot and first officer, allowing lead hijacker and trained pilot Marwan al-Shehhi to take over the controls. Unlike Flight 11, which turned its transponder off, the aircraft's transponder

On June 1st, 1999 American Airlines flight 1420 experienced a tragic accident that claimed many lives and made an impact on aviation worldwide. The event and it subsequent investigation shed

At dusk, the pilot and passengers load the aircraft and departed the airport. The flight departed under visual flight rules and visual meteorological conditions. The weather was reported at

In an attempt to find the lost flight, a Martin Mariner PBM-5 flying boat was sent to search for the mission squadron. The flying boat left Fort Lauderdale Airport at 7:27 p.m. (Cusack, 16). At 7:30 p.m. the plane's radio failed, and flight disappeared forever.

This assignment will be discuss, analyse and critical evaluate on the incident of aircraft Boeing 737-400 with flight registration number G-OBMM near Daventry on 23 February 1995. This assignment will be base on the report of Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB), Department of Transport with report number 3/96 (EW/C95/2/3). This aircraft incident has been choose because of the report provided by AAIB was clear with the sequences of incident, information of the aircraft operator and the Authority, complete with clear finding and factors that lead to incident also provide with 15 safety recommendations to prevent this type of incident occur again in the future.
