Weather Conditions The accident report stated that the current and former relief pilots obtained weather briefings by calling the flight service station (FSS) when they had concerns about the weather (NTSB 911AA Eurocopter, 2014). There is no record of the accident pilot receiving a weather briefing from the FSS or by accessing the user terminal (NTSB 911AA Eurocopter, 2014). The sources the pilot used to check the weather prior to the mission are unknown. The current relief pilot uses the National Weather Service, and Alaska Aviation Weather Unit (AAWU) websites (NTSB 911AA Eurocopter, 2014). The AAWU displays weather information for pilots, including area forecasts, meteorological aerodrome reports, and terminal aerodrome forecasts. The forecasted weather for the search area at the time the pilot was contacted for the mission showed calm wind, visibility greater than 6 miles, and light showers (NTSB 911AA Eurocopter, 2014). The mission call was received at 2019, the observed weather conditions in Talkeetna at 1953 METAR were light rain, calm wind, visibility 10 miles (NTSB 911AA Eurocopter, 2014). At the same time the radar showed scattered showers in the Palmer, Alaska area moving toward the Talkeetna area (NTSB 911AA Eurocopter, 2014). Palmer is about 50 miles south/southeast of the accident site.
The following is from the NTSB investigation report (2014) and gives a statement of the weather from a witness 3 miles west of the accident site. 2020 – Clouds

The growth in air travel threatens to overwhelm the presently inadequate air traffic control system, which has not kept pace with available technology in navigation, communications, and flight surveillance. Much of the equipment used for air traffic control today is based on fifty-year-old technology; for example, analog simplex voice links for

On the 25th of September 1999, Big Island Air Flight 58 Piper Chieftain, crashed on a slope of the Mauna Loa Volcano in Hawaii at approximately 5:30pm. All nine of the passengers on board and the pilot were killed in the crash. The impact sustained by the airplane and the fire that followed the impact completely destroyed the airplane. Big Island Air Flight 58 was operating under CFR Part 135 air taxi operations providing sight seeing tours to tourists and locals. The Piper Chieftain had departed

Reason I Chose Air Traffic Controller
I chose to do my paper on being a Air Traffic Controller, and what Air Traffic Control because it seems like a job in aviation that I would be interested in. The pay is good and overall it seems like a good job and field to go into.
Air Traffic Controller
Air traffic controllers direct the movement of air traffic, to make sure that aircraft stay safe distances apart. Air traffic controllers have many duties such as, issuing landing and takeoff instructions to
collection and dissemination of weather information for civil aviation. The twenty-seven countries of the European Union (EU), Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein but also other countries in the region cooperate in various multinational organizations with different formations.
This paper briefly outlines the complex regulatory and organizational landscape in Europe, including the global,
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
energy intensive, labor intensive, capital intensive, technology intensive, highly regulated, heavily taxed, and extremely competitive (Southwest, 2016). Thus, to maintain a competitive advantage, on July 1st, 2014, they began offering international flights to Aruba, Jamaica, and the Bahamas (Jones, 2014).
Currently, they have 11 international destinations (Trevis Team, 2015).
According to Southwest’s proxy their main competitors are Delta, Alaska, United Continental, and Jet Blue (Southwest, 2016)
and structures, including a large maintenance hangar, the first fire station, workshops and administrative offices, an airfreight complex, two cargo agents buildings, in-flight catering kitchen and a 285ft control tower. Construction for the second phase would commence immediately after the completion of Phase 1 and include the second runway, 50 new aircraft parking bays in addition to the existing 70 bays, a second fire station and a third cargo agent building.
The third phase included construction
