the planner’s expectations.  Unfortunately the airports that were built 20 or more years ago, have not grown with the cities.  Phoenix has tripled in size in the past 10 years.  The tripling of air traffic has not had anywhere to go.  The same two runways that have been serving the city since 1935 when the airport was built have been extremely over loaded.  It is not just happening in Phoenix, a few years ago Denver received a new airport to relieve the overflow of traffic from the older Stapelton

Introduction The introduction of aerial transport dates back to the early 1900’s. Since then aerial transportation has been the fastest means of transport, whether if passengers want to travel by plane or by the helicopter, from one place to another. Today, aerial transportation is such an important means of transportation that on average, 8 million people fly per day (IATA 2013) along with 34.5 million tonnes of cargo per year (IATA 2012). Subsequently, passengers and cargo have been a non-stop

Streets are the Real Runways The customer grasps the cold, brass doorknob, with a jerk, swings open the door, and walks inside. Behind her, the bell, tied to the knob, rings and the cashier from the counter yells his greetings, as he does for every customer. The customer continues walking, passing shelf after shelf full of tops, blouses, and jackets—all banal and redundant. Nevertheless, the customer finally stops and finds just what she was looking for: a bright blue top, that will make her eyes

one of the most precarious situations a pilot can face, but the added workload of developing a new landing pattern from scratch added one more layer of stress and pressure to the issues that had been mounting since Dallas Ft. Worth. The alternate runway pattern added an additional ten minutes to the pilot’s 2 hour delay. The pilot workload exponentially increased as the aircraft entered in a new pattern and began to have great difficulty establishing a visual fix on the airport. When asked if the

Having thoroughly reviewed the history, value, financial performance, marking, and asset structure of Alaska Airlines, we will now take a slight step back from directly reviewing the selected airline to assess the viability of the main hub airport for Alaska Airlines, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA-TAC). As such, we will review the current market demand, historical growth, forecasted growth predictions, as well as airfield capacities in current state and future development plans including

2007. While landing, the right main landing gear failed to lock in position and was therefore disrupted, leading to the cabin preparing for a controlled emergency landing. After landing, the right main landing gear collapsed, the right wing hit the runway and immediately broke into fire.

As the saying goes “anything that can go wrong, will go wrong”, yet being fully aware of this, humans don’t avoid doing things altogether, instead we intentionally thrive toward finding that which can go wrong out of curiosity for knowledge and fear that we might miss out on something if we don’t. There is a lesson to be found in every disappointment and negative outcome therefore, we gain experience, we discover, and learn to live with things going wrong because that means we are one step closer

(1) Introduction Safety Management System (SMS) can be defined as “a systematic approach to managing safety, including the necessary organizational structures, accountabilities, policies and procedures” (Safety Management Manual, 2013). It is designed to identify hazards, analysing and collecting data and manage safety risks encountered during the delivery of its services (Safety Management Manual, 2013). According to Safety Management Manual (2013), the fundamental Safety Management System (SMS)
