It is therefore vital that work schedule and planning should consider these changes in performance and adjust accordingly.
Scientifically related, on 24 hours time the body maintains normal functioning condition by interacting different amplitudes and phases of multitude variables of circadian rhythms of emotional and physiological with each other. For example, when body temperature levels increased during the day, sympathetic nervous-system is highly activated, metabolic rate is rich, alertness is increased, performance is efficient, and physical body is fit; whereas body temperature levels decreases at night, parasympathetic activity is increased, metabolic rate is poor, sleepiness is increased , and performance is inefficiency.
As a result, consideration to the circadian rhythm of a body is a significant function for people working in aviation industry. In fact, Maintenance personnel, who do rotating shift, have to be encounter with social and biological rhythms with regard to their exact working environment (Wise, Hopkin, and Garland 2010, p, 245). “In 2008, an FAA Conference on fatigue revealed that: scientists, regulators, company management, and labor representatives all agree that personnel fatigue is a recognized safety hazard in the aviation maintenance industry, and we

Stress can be defined in a number of ways and is experienced differently by each individual. Stress is natural, a physiological response involving a complex interaction between the mind, body, and environment. Stress is not fundamentally negative, people need a certain amount in their everyday lives to maintain function. An optimal level of stress stimulates an individual to stay alert and perform at a desired level. Ideally, stress enables us to take action by stimulating our sympathetic nervous
The aviation industry has emerged to be one of the more efficient and safest way to travel across the world. Taking in consideration that there are thousands of people that have car accidents across the United States daily and sadly some of them end up being fatal. When an aircraft accident happens, it is normally that followed and investigated by several government and federal agencies in order to take all the details, human factors and determing factors that contributed to the accident. Given that
feed pipe which developed over a period of time due to fatigue. The crack grew to a size which allowed the oil in the pipe to be released in the HP/IP buffer space, during the occurrence flight. There was severe damage caused to the flight. However, the robust design and structural strength of the jet sustained the damage which might have destroyed the airlines of the past decade.
The crew members of Qantas displayed excellent skills in managing the incident and the high standards of piloting culture
Our olfactory system allows us to detect chemical in the air that begin to dissolve once they are inhaled through our nose and processed through our limbic system. What is fascinating for such a matter of fact sense, is memory. Through our sense of smell, exists a powerful gateway to past experiences. A particular smell can trigger an immediate recall of situations that are within the deepest reaches of our memory. Smell is a worthwhile sense to command. Since we know if its ability to connect

It is my responsibility to communicate and ensure that every individual wears the personal protective equipment provided by the company when working with hazardous and toxic products. Due to the investment in aviation maintenance, the majority of projects have to be completed in a short time even with the involvement of heavy workloads. In these situations motivation and passion of each and every individual tends to drop, and there is a tendency to cut corners. For

TRAINING AND LEADER DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
The Army provides combatant commanders with trained and ready units, leaders, and individuals. Army expeditionary forces are prepared to conduct unified land operations in support of unified action. The Army accomplishes this by conducting tough, realistic, standards-based, performance-oriented training, which is based on eleven principles of training and seven principles of leader development.
As a leader you must understand these principles. Understanding
ABSTRACT (Isabelle Aultman and Ben Cvek)
In any business service quality is going to “make or break” the company in the long run. JetBlue has great ideas on how to compete and how to be lower priced while still gaining profit. Customer and provider gaps are all about what a customer expects, what a customer perceives, what a customer is willing to accept, what a company understands about those expectations, a company’s communication both internal and external, and the company systems and processes
