Human factors issues in flight simulation have been identified to include motion sickness, motion cueing, and adapting fidelity issues related to flying the simulator versus the actual aircraft. Also there is the issue with older legacy simulators that are still in use and their limitations. It is an accepted fact that aircraft simulator design is a balance between technology, design limitations, cost and operational effectiveness and safe to assume that due to these limitations, the simulator

The first flight to be reviewed is United Airlines flight 173, that left from JFK Airport, N.Y. on December 28th, 1978.

a journalist and also an author who contributed with his experience in the aviation field to write some marvellous novels. Fly by wire being one of his marvels, unravels the crash of US Airways flight 1549 with minute detailing of events that led the crash landing in the Hudson in 2009. The total flight duration was no longer than the time required for reading this report. Both of the aircraft engines had failed due to multiple bird strikes causing power loss following the take-off which compelled

Three hours and an uneventful boarding later, they were escorted to their spacious first class seats on their British Airways flight from Los Angeles to London. There are three columns, four rows of nooks on the far right and left of the cabin. The middle row is home to three rows of two single nooks placed side by side. When Melody found her seat next to Tom, she hung her coat in the little coat closet on the outside of her nook. Each nook has a blanket with a pair of headphones, a flat screen

Have you ever got on a plane before? If you have then you know that it flies. If you haven’t been on an airplane before than you would not know how it works. A lot of people say that a whole bunch of people made the airplane but there was two people that made the first airplane that ever was made. Their name was the Wright brother, or Wilbur and Orville Wright. The Wright brother were like ordinary people that wanted to make a difference so they started working on airplane. The name of the first

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

Captain Morwood had been flying for almost 35 years and his first officer, Keith Mills, has had over 10,000 hours of flying. However, both pilots were fairly new to the aircraft, which

“Set! … PULL!” Bam. Face first into the foam pit. Yum - the delicious grittiness of synthetic foam. Desi, my coach, rolls her eyes at me as I lay face down. Then I got up to go again. And again. And probably 6,000 more times. I took to gymnastics like a hawk to the sky. For six years I soared, flying higher, farther, faster. I could have never predicted that I would then spend four years grounded, relearning how to spread my wings. I spent a week working on the same skill: a full - a back layout

and take over controls, but it wasn’t nearly as terrifying as I thought it would be. I was surprised on how smooth the flight was once we climbed to about 4000 feet and basically had no turbulence. After some conversation, Trevor and I both loved to fish in the area, so we aimed towards the 81 ponds and actually flew over Lake Thompson and talked about fishing most of the flight. I was also surprised to see that that Skyhawk actually had autopilot. On our way back towards Brookings, Trevor let
