Procedures for the Replacement of a Windscreen on an Aircraft

Assessing a community is an integral part of Community Health Nursing because it leads to an understanding of a community’s overall health status, including its strengths and weaknesses. In turn, the assessment findings can be used to influence positive change in the community and improve the population’s health. One strategy used to assess a population’s health needs is performing a windshield survey. A windshield survey is typically conducted from a moving vehicle and includes a systematic observation of the general community. This paper includes the findings of a windshield survey I completed of Heber, AZ as well as my overall impression of the survey, and personal biases that I need to consider.

The plane then reportedly filled with thick smoke with flames shooting from the rear of the plane. The passengers struggled to get though either the emergency exits or through holes in fuselage that were torn open due to the crash. The rescue effort was also slowed due to power outages on the field. The bay doors for the rescue vehicles needed to be open manually slowing the rescue crews from getting to the plane. Overall a total of 11 people died including Captain Richard W. Bushmann, a 20-year veteran with American Airlines. 83 of the 143 passengers were injured.

According to Stanhope and Lancaster, a windshield survey is a "community assessment, the motorized equivalent of a physical assessment for an individual; windshield refers to looking through the car windshield as a nurse in community health drives through the community collecting data.” (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2010, p. 217). These types of surveys are a form of information gathering means, making direct visual observations to assess the social environment of a community while driving, they can even be conducted on foot in the event that a vehicle is not available or possible. The reason of the windshield survey is to gain a better perceptive of the city social environment in terms of its boundaries, housing conditions,

The town I chose to do my windshield survey on was Jamestown, NC, 27282. I chose Jamestown because this is where I grew up and this is where my grandparents live. Performing this windshield survey will allow me to observe all the things the town of Jamestown have to offer and to see what barriers may exist for a community health nurse trying to work with the residents of Jamestown. In my opinion a windshield observation is one of the most important tasks that a community nurse has to perform since this will allow them to know what is available for their patients.

Communication and observations, when arriving on shift I will ask if there are any new or recent adjustments to any risk assessments in place. While on shift I follow policies and procedures and ensure that others are also aware of their roles and responsibilities regarding health and safety issues.

Does your windshield need to be replaced, or will a simple repair better serve your needs? Windshields are specially designed to provide structural support to the vehicle. Because of this, they have to be very strong and are made up of two layers of glass sandwiching a thinner layer of automotive safety glass. This strength means many damages to windshields are actually capable of being repaired.

NTSB ruled that the main causes of the accident were the decision to land in a thunderstorm and that the crew did not arm the spoilers (NTSB, 2001).

Accident investigators found that a replacement windscreen had been installed 27 hours before the flight, and that the procedure had been approved by the Shift Maintenance Manager. “84 of the 90 windscreen retention bolts were 0.026 inches too small in diameter, while the remaining six were 0.1 inches too short” ("British airways flight 5390," ). The investigation revealed that the previous windscreen had been fitted with incorrect bolts, which had been replaced on a "like for like" basis by the Shift Maintenance Manager without reference to the maintenance documentation. The air pressure difference between the cabin and the outside during the flight proved to be too much, leading to the failure of the windscreen. The incident also brought to attention a design flaw in the aircraft of the windscreen being secured from the outside of the aircraft, putting a greater stress on the bolts than if they were secured from the inside.
