Traffic control

Historically a plane’s control systems have been very manual, based on hydraulics and mechanical circuits, with some form of automation of the control systems, however in the last couple of decades, the control systems have been upgraded and today most modern jet-liners are controlled by electronic control systems – also known as a fly-by-wire controls. These upgrades have been required in order to increase reliability as well as support the increased functionality required by the control systems to operate

The world and multiple nations are now facing a form of threat that is plaguing the very existence of our society: terrorism. The awareness and spread of terrorist activities are constantly being shown to us on a daily, giving us a reminder of the damage it has done, can be done, and how it has affected the many lives all around the world. The evolution of technology and information technology, terrorism has evolved in their criminal methods as well. Like Whitman and Mattord (2011) states, “the

Airport Information systems between civilian and military airports, a correlation research study is planned. Information will be compared from Class B military and civilian airports in three regions in the United States that average similar air traffic. The dependent variables are airports whose systems that do not allow to process information efficiently. Information systems are integral part of how airports are run efficiently and safely and it varies greatly depending on what the airport

aircraft or vehicle piloted from the ground. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) may be piloted from the ground or autonomously controlled through a software program. Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) refers to the combination of unmanned vehicle and all control, sensor, payload and maintenance elements necessary for mission accomplishment. Currently the majority of the UAVs operated by the United States are military assets, and as such are subject to policies, requirements and regulations of the military

goal. Because weather has been identified as a causal factor in approximately 30% of all aviation accidents, a project for the development of technologies that will provide accurate, timely and intuitive information to pilots, dispatchers, and air traffic controllers to enable the detection and avoidance of atmospheric

discrimination issue surfaced resulting from comments expressed by a Southwest pilot during a private conversation. The two minute conversation transpired on March 25, 2011 and was inadvertently broadcast over a Federal Aviation Administration air traffic control frequency in the Houston, Texas area during a flight from Austin, Texas to San Diego, California. According to the accusations, the comments were perceived as demeaning and derogatory with regard to the Southwest Airlines flight attendant employee

Commercial and general aviation will continue to experience an increase in air traffic for the foreseeable future. This congestion has been proven to cause costly delays and potential hazards to commercial aviation and the airport environment. Several major airports in metropolitan areas as well as the National Airspace System have been facing airport traffic and congestion issues over the last decades. Significant government dollars and resources have been utilized to asses and mitigate these

that it violates the ninth amendment which is the right to privacy. With drones spying on citizens what privacy is there? The problems and complications with the government using drones for that soul purpose consist of privacy being violated, air traffic being interrupted and drones will also have to be paid for from taxes,so in hindsight the people are paying to be spied on. The government should not have the right to spy on citizens using drone technology because of broken rights. Privacy

This information can then be used for correct allocation of stands or air bridges. It can also be used to create the mandatory statistics required by some government agencies including the National Air Traffic Service (NATS). The ATCAS includes a link to AFTN and other ATC systems such as flight

Additionally the flight crew had reported to Miami Air Traffic Control Tower that they had an unsafe gear indication. The aircraft made a low approach to enable the air traffic controllers working in
