Instrument flight rules

Fatigue In February of 2009, Colgan Air flight 3407 crashed while on approach killing forty-nine people on board as well as one on the ground according to the official National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Accident Report (2010). In February of 2008, go! flight 1002 ignored several radio calls after departure and eventually flew past its destination and continued over open water according to the NTSB’s Report (2009). In April of 2007, Pinnacle Airlines flight 4712 overran the runway after landing

Abstract During this research paper we will be looking into the definition of flight into known icing as it’s described by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with special emphasis on the word known or forecasted icing as a legal requirement for both pilots and aircraft. We will look at aircraft systems designed for such operations and we will be analyzing the misunderstanding that many pilots have about this issue. One of the biggest misconceptions is that an aircraft equipped with deicing

while flying. Once pilots become familiar with a certain aircraft or flight deck layout their hands will reach for controls without needing to look for them. Pilots will also develop certain cognitive biases in aircraft to help reduce their workload and increase mental capacity. The fact that both muscle memory and cognitive bias are handled in one’s subconscious a pilot will not always be aware they are even occurring. Under FAA rules there is no limit on how many different aircraft a pilot can maintain

American Airlines Flight 1420 By Christian, Gonzalez SFTY 330- Aircraft Accident Investigation Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University April 20, 2015 Abstract Flight 1420 of American Airlines claimed the lives of 11 passengers on June 1, 1999. From the NTSB report one can conclude that there were several human factors that contributed to the accident of American Airlines flight 1420. Examples include unsafe acts by the pilots, violations that represent a willful disregard for the rules and regulations

votes to overturn the lower courts ' findings and rules in favor of Air Southwest (SWA, History by Date, (1)). Conclusively, on December 07, 1970, the United States Supreme Court denies appeal by Braniff and Texas International (TI) of Texas Supreme Court decision (1). Eventually, Air Southwest Co. changed its name to Southwest Airlines. On that same day, SWA was offered three 737-200s by Boeing. During 1971, southwest airlines began scheduled flights from Dallas to Houston and San Antonio with a $20

description of the governmental agency or authority responsible for regulation of safety, as well as the certification requirements and minimum flight time for the commercial airline flight deck crewmembers. The governmental agency or authority that is empowered to regulate the routes flown, rates charged, and other economic aspects of the airline’s flight operations will be identified and discussed. Information will be given on the extent to which the airline’s fleet consists of owned vs. leased

Sadly, there are a few downsides to naval aviation. The career takes a longer time to train than most other jobs, due to the high responsibilities that a naval aviator has to take. In order to be successful and enjoy the job, a naval aviator must have charismatic and ideal qualities to endure the hardships. One of the disadvantages to naval aviation is that it’s dangerous, unpredictable, and requires a lot of time commitment. Naval pilots have unstable futures - they can be deployed to war anytime

Every single airport in the country is different so no single one will have to same procedures. Then also instrument procedures and minimums according to the airport elevation and also obstruction clearance it differs. There are set minimums by the federal regulation in case the airport doesn’t have minimums, but each airport institutes its own minimums depending on the type of instrument approach it has. Airspeeds are also a local regulation. Now there are set standards for airspeeds all around

the aircraft is in flight under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) or Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). In the latter case, the pilot will navigate exclusively using radio navigation instruments and aids such as beacons, or as directed under radar control by air traffic control. In the case of VFR, a pilot navigates heavily using "dead calculations" combined with visual (pilot) observations, referring to appropriate maps. This can be supplemented using radio navigation aids. Given the flight plan and the position

Airlines Flight 587, AirBus 300-605R, registration N14053, November 12, 2001, NTSB Identification: AAR-04/04 Embry Riddle Aeronautical University SFTY 320: Human Factors in Aviation On this case it will be discussed the aircraft accident of American Airlines Flight 587.
