The Factor of Age in Aviation Accidents David Heinrich Embry Riddle Aeronautical University RSCH 665, Research Statistics Dr. Ori Sargsyan April 16, 2016 Abstract As we get older, cognitive ability diminishes. Accidents happen with among ages but there are ways that pilots can mitigate the effects of ageing. This paper looks if age is significant in aviation accidents or if flight experience makes up for what age lacks. Four scholarly articles will be dissected and using fundamentals

Career and College Research Paper The work space for an aviationist is wide open and increasing. There is a lot of jobs for an aviationist such as an engineer mechanic, serve technicians, avionics technicians, aircraft mechanics, aerospace engineering, and airline and commercial pilots. The reason I chose this career is because I have some family that went to college to learn about aviation and after researching about aviation and all it has to offer I realized that the job is wide open and increasing

Fatigue is a growing concern and issue in the aviation industry. Although it has been for some time, recently mounting workloads and stress have factored into creating an escalating problem with real casualties and repercussions. “Pilot fatigue, heavy workloads… may have contributed to an air ambulance crashing into the sea at night during a medical mission…” (Crash Blamed 2006 p.31). Fatigue is an “insidious” condition that affects a pilot in a way that might make him feel justified in his decisions

PERSONAL STATEMENT. Aviation is my number one career choice. In many ways it also reflect my second, third and fourth career choices. I believe make me well suited for a career of aviation. Teachers teach and lead young people to develop their skills, In my case I want to be a master the skills their profession, as a pilot. My goal with this career is will be one of the most good pilots in America and then maybe the world, help to other coworkers and someday teach and lead my own team. Normally

An Aviation Technician is a mechanic that works on planes. They orient there education and skills into that field. Specifically a engine mechanic and come in many varieties. A jet engine mechanic is the field that most money is made. It largely interests me because I am very fond of mechanical engineering. I also have a huge interest in flight. I attend air shows often and always wonder about the abilities and the technology of some of the aircrafts. Typically the larger planes and engines you work

The Writing Life by Annie Dillard is about the beauty in life and when work becomes art. She talks about Dave Rahm, a fearless pilot and how he maneuvers his plane and the beauty in the moves he executes. Dillard first saw the pilot in an air show and she was enchanted by how the plane moved in the air, almost like music, and how that impacted her and the audience. She later flew with the same pilot, Dave Rahm, and experiences being inside the cockpit of the plane. Dillard uses a lot of details and

Amelia Earhart’s last words were heard 8:43 a.m.; these are the last documented moments of her life (“Earhart Project”). Any signs or clues as to where Earhart and her plane were located vanished the second these words had been received, leaving the public stumped and constantly inquiring about what exactly had become of Amelia Earhart on that day. At long last, due to new discoveries, some light now shines upon Earhart’s whereabouts. Despite popular belief, Amelia Earhart wasn’t captured by the

Are you the type of person who gets annoyed of being in the same place all the time? Who also likes making a comfortable living and traveling, then become a pilot! Airline pilots fly all over the world and unlike when a normal person does it, instead of having to pay 1000’s of dollars, the pilot is the one who gets paid. Pilots are in charge of their own schedules so let’s say they make a stop in Rome, they can choose to stay for a weeks and savor the sights and schedule to fly the next flight home

The article I found this week was interesting. I never knew this until I was looking for an article. There is a woman named, Shaesta Waiz, she is the first female certified pilot from Afghanistan. According to one article in Flying Mag, she will be traveling through 20 countries to encourage girls to achieve their dreams through education. She is part of an organization called Dreams Soar her organization was founded to “inspire women and girls to reach for the stars,” according to Waiz. In the article
