A Year After the Imposition of New Limits on U.S. Flight Operations Conducted in Ground Icing Conditions, International Aviation Industry and Regulatory Officials Continue to Work to Contain Icing Threats. This Special Report, Examining Their Efforts and the Drive to Establish Universal Standards for Such Operations, Was Prepared by Southeast U.S. Bureau Chief James T. McKenna in Cocoa Beach, European Editor Pierre Sparaco in Paris and Engineering Editor Michael A. Dornheim in Los Angeles.
International aviation officials are attempting to forge worldwide standards for improving the safety of flight operations conducted in ground icing conditions.
The fledgling effort by members of international aviation and standards

National Transportation Safety Board, said. "Fatal accidents should not be allowed to be the only catalyst for development" of safer practices.
U.S. regulatory, manufacturing and airline officials have been working more closely with their counterparts in Europe and other regions of the world since the 1992 LaGuardia crash. That accident followed crashes of a Canadian operated Fokker 28 at Dryden, Ontario, in 1989 and a U.S.- built McDonnell Douglas MD- 81 operated by Scandinavian Airlines System in 1991.
Several international meetings over the last year have addressed, among other things, disparities in the regulatory and operational treatment of ground icing threats. International organizations are taking steps to correct them.
European aviation officials are maintaining their long- standing lead in efforts to make operations in ground icing conditions safer. Minimum ground-icing safety practices vary widely from country to country and even from airline to airline throughout the world. Europe 's Joint Airworthiness Authorities are conducting a broad, coordinated review of technical and flight operations in winter conditions. And members of the Assn. of European Airlines are pressing to distill the lessons learned by carriers experienced with ground icing conditions, such as those in northern Europe, Scandinavia and Russia, into guidelines that can be used by airlines worldwide.
As a result of those campaigns and
This paper reviews the tragic mid-air crash of PSA flight 182 and Cessna N7711G a Cessna 172 over San Diego and its resulting FAA rules and regulation changes, and their affect on the U.S. aviation industry. PSA Flight 182’s mid-air resulted in the most sweeping FAA changes to airspace to date. The FAA rules and regulation changes was a success in preventing similar mid-airs of this type.

This paper will discuss the many different processes and procedures that play into the overall safety of the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL). There are countless facets and aspects when it comes to airport operations. The safety aspect is no different. Airports must keep a positive representation in the media and keeping all areas as safe as possible is paramount. The overall safety operations of an airport would simply be too much try convey so instead, this research paper focuses on a large subsection KATL safety known as ramp operations. It follows along and details different aspects of the Ramp Safety Standards Manual created by the Department of Aviation for the city of Atlanta. In doing so, the paper provides a clear view of how ramp operations at KATL relate to system safety.
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.
Unsafe acts, attitudes and errors are addressed in this project by assessing the activities of the people involved in operating aircraft, airports, and other facilities. The operations of such individuals are likely to affect the outcomes differently for travelers and airlines. Varied attitudes towards issues like security and errors occurring in some processes may result in significant challenges to the enhancement of safety. These practices will be assessed in the research with a focus on how improvements
The day of 9/11 sparked the attention of the aviation industry, citing that it will never be the same again. Different sectors
As we all know, safety is fundamental to the aviation industry. There are many factors will cause dangerous to flights, such as human factors, problem of aircraft structures and so on. Flight safety has many challenges. Due to the climate variability and suddenness, meteorology has become a severe problem in aviation. Many air crashes are in the result of bad weather. In generally speaking, there are several weather phenomenon have much influence on flights, like turbulence, including clear air turbulence, thunderstorms, icing, volcanic ash. People have spent a lot of energy in predicting and avoiding these weather problems. According to the NASA Langley Research Center, in the 1970s and 1980s, multiple
Airport safety is one of the Federal Aviation Administration's biggest concerns. They are tasked with tracking over 10,400,000 commercial flights every year, not including military and non-commercial flights (Canavan). Collisions and crashes are the two major causes of injuries and death. Air travel accidents date all of the way back to 1908 (Old). Orville Wright, one of the original inventors of the airplane, was flying a demonstration for the military when a propeller suddenly was ripped off of the airplane. The passenger, Lieutenant Selfridge was killed when the plane hit the ground (Old). The Federal Aviation Administration has come a long way since the 1960’s to improve safety (Mission). They have implemented various systems such as the United States program, NextGen Program, and the Air Transportation
Normal accidents are very closely linked to risk society. As our culture takes on new, more advanced technologies and
During this research paper we will be looking into the definition of flight into known icing as it’s described by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with special emphasis on the word known or forecasted icing as a legal requirement for both pilots and aircraft. We will look at aircraft systems designed for such operations and we will be analyzing the misunderstanding that many pilots have about this issue. One of the biggest misconceptions is that an aircraft equipped with deicing equipment makes it rated for known icing conditions. We will briefly look at the regulations on aircraft certifications and
During the wake of the attacks of 9/11 the United States realized the importance of airline
Studies indicate that manufacturers of commercial passenger vehicles such as motorcoaches and school buses are not doing enough to keep those inside safe in a crash, according to the NTSB. The agency calls for better vehicle body designs that allow passengers to safely evacuate after a crash, and improved restraint systems. Instruction in the appropriate use of seatbelts and evacuation procedures should be a part of each trip, as
Ever since September 11th, 2001 airport security efforts have been under the microscope. Rightfully so, because that day changed a lot on how people viewed safety in terms of flying. On that day, nearly 3,000 people were killed in a series of coordinated terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. It’s long been said that flying is the safest transportation mode amongst the varying models there are. According to www.journalistsresource.org, from 2000-2009 the average annual death of aviation fatalities was 548, compared to 26, 678 in regards to cars and light trucks. “A person who was in a motor vehicle for 30 miles every day for a year faced a fatality risk of about 1 in 12,500. Relative to mainline trains, buses and commercial
Aircraft icing is nothing but trouble and a significant hazard to the aviation community. With the right upper level conditions, our winter season allows icing to occur when least expected and most pilots know very little
