The Federal Aviation and Voluntary Regulatory Partnership Program Background Throughout the years there have been an influx of regulatory failures referenced to the government as “Regulation Dilemma’s” (Mills, 2010, p.8). The U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minerals Management Service (MMS) are two companies that have a high volume of regulatory violations. The SEC’s financial crisis and the MMS’ oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico have caused the government agencies to address the issues
The results of airline deregulation speak for themselves. Since the government got out of the airline business, not only has there been a drop in prices and an increase in routes, there has also been a remarkable increase in airline service and safety. Airline deregulation should be seen as the crowning jewel of a federal de-regulatory emphasis. Prices are down: Airline
Projects Intern Projects Below I have compiled a quick list of all the projects that I worked on while I was at Garmin AT and my role in the project. All the proprietary information has been removed so some details may be intentionally vague. Major Projects • Flight Data Logging – Gathered flight data from many parts of the system in 1 second intervals. Built a page that would allow exporting of this data to an SD card by the end user. • WAAS Data Logging – Gathered WAAS data as it was being
UASs, Congress has identified the need for evaluating civil UAS aviation-dedicated spectrum. Spectrum offers the potential of command and control capabilities at higher altitudes, increased protection from hacking of a UAS, the deployment of sense and avoid technology and the transmission of payload data – all necessary to ensure safe UAS operations. The House bill would require the FAA Administrator to research the use of civil aviation dedicated spectrum for all UAS platforms. The Senate has instructed
Just the other day, the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) released a report which explained in totality, how best this equipment could be used to propel economic growth. In 2012, the United States of America's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was directed to integrate the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) with the National Airspace System (NAS). This was after a report indicated that there was a lot of opportunity which had remained unexploited by prohibiting
The operations department makes sure to maintain aircraft safety as efficiently as possible. Operations department, also include the dispatchers who release flights after making sure it is safe to fly. According to AVjobs, “Maintenance accounts for approximately 11 percent of an airline’s employees and 10-15 percent
National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for over four decades (Federal Aviation Administration, 2012). After years of recognizing the physical and cognitive decrements associated with fatigue, as well as numerous improvements in available countermeasures, fatigue remains one of the primary contributing factors implicated in around 20% of aviation incidents (Petrie et al., 2004). Brown defines fatigue as the decreased
Running head: MID-AIR OF PSA FLIGHT 182 OVER SAN DIEGO Mid-Air of PSA Flight 182 and its Impacts on U.S. Aviation Lance Paston Utah Valley University Abstract 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
of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 has caused the current state of rapid increase of drones all across the United States. The Modernization and Reform Act modernize the nation's aviation system and opened up the skies for unmanned drones by the later part of 2015. Consequently, the Federal Aviation Administration had to find ways of implementing these drones into our modern society smoothly. The numerous instances of nearby collisions between drones and airline pilots have received many
crashes occur largely due to a combination of human error and mechanical failure. In much of aviations accidents mechanical failure has been a contributing factor. It is impossible however to blame plane crashes on one reason since events leading up to an accident are so varied. Reasoning for plane crashes can be placed in a broad number of categories. Environmental conditions play a vital part in aviation as a whole. Much planning goes into a flight based on the current and forecast weather conditions
