Robert M. Carton Principles of Accident Causation March 12, 2017 APT #10  1. How do airspeed indicators and altimeters work? Both airspeed indicators and altimeters are relatively similar to one another. The airspeed indicator utilizes and receives data from the pitot tube and the static port on an aircraft. In short the air pressure is collected by the pitot tube is compared to the static air pressure to give the pilot an accurate indication of how fast the aircraft is moving. The pitot

The Accident On November 12, 1995, an American Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-83 type passenger aircraft, which was operating as Flight 1572, departed from Chicago O’Hare International (ORD); however, the aircraft got substantially damaged due to impact to the top of oak trees on Peak Mountain Ridge in East Granby, Connecticut. The aircraft also hit the Instrument Landing System (ILS) localizer antenna, which was on its way to Runway 15 of Bradley International Airport (BDL). The aircraft, lastly

Future of sensors Trends A study conducted by Intechno Consulting [ ] shows that the non-military, open market for sensors grew from EUR 81.6 billion in 2006 to EUR 119.4 billion in 2011 and can be expected to grow to EUR 184.1 billion until 2016. This equates to an annual average growth of 8.5%. Of the EUR 184.4 billion EUR global market for sensors in 2016, 9.7% will go to the machinery industries, 8.9% to the process industries, and 22.8% to the vehicle industries including airplanes, ships and

height by calculating the change in pressure. The pressure can vary due to temperature and other variables, so it may not be exact. The probability of it being uncalibrated is unlikely, though not impossible, though it is much more likely that the altimeter was damaged on the several rough landings that it experienced. This is, however, unlikely, due to the fact that this device was designed to perform under the stresses and impacts of model rocket launches and their subsequent landings, rough or not

have a great product. This great product was better than their competitors and they also were able to address customer’s needs. They are known for a product that is durable and has multiple features such as an integrated compass and a barometric altimeter. Precise navigation is the area that TerraCog stands out in. Their proprietary firmware allows this to happen. TerraCog has been working on a new product aimed toward the cycling and fitness market they have yet to tap into. If it weren’t for Posthaste

LiDAR is a remote sensing survey method that improved upon the advances of laser altimeter data by being able to model fuel parameters. Models depicting forest fire behavior are invaluable to resource managers. There are several forest canopy structures that are particularly effective at modeling fire behavior (Peterson, 2013). These canopy metrics include height, fuel weight, base height and bulk density (Andersen et al, 2005). High resolution LiDAR technology enabled large areas of forest to be

For this week’s discussion, I chose to listen to KLAX Dep/West App, live ATC. While listening, I found many similar and simple words and phrases being said. There was only a two-way conversation with the pilot and ATC. Directions from the ATC were given to the pilot. Repeated directions and confirmation of hearing the message was repeated by the pilot. Call signs of pilots such as “American 34” was said from the pilot identifying themselves upon request of departure or arrival. Altitudes such as

Google 's Car In a project that have started a long ago, Google thought that driverless car is the revolutionary next step. Inside of the whole idea of those kind of car there are a lot of information and developing that have been happen. According to Google, the main idea was and still is make everything safer, and their focus is develop a product 100% safe. When they say safe, they are not talking just about the passenger on the car but for all population. After developing a software that is

crashes at last is due to being hijacked by terrorists; however, in Charlie Victor Romeo six planes have different reasons for their accidents. The crew of the first plane American Airlines Flight 1572 in Charlie Victor Romeo incorrectly set the altimeter making the plane fly lower than they expect. This lead to them crashing into trees. The third plane Aeroperú Airlines Flight 603 fails to remove the tape which the maintenance crew have taped over the static ports. This results in the flight instruments

14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates 14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a)(1) Section 91.203 requires all civil aircraft to have a certificate of airworthiness. Part 21, Subpart H, entitled Air-worthiness Certificates, establishes the procedural requirements for the issuance of airworthiness certificates as required by FAR§ 91.203(a). Given the size of the 3DR Solo, its very light weight (the maximum take-off weight is less than 5 pounds) and the limited operating area associated with its utilization
