“Human error is responsible for the majority of aviation disasters. ... Such factors can include pilot fatigue from not getting enough sleep, distractions within or outside the cockpit, and simple design choices for the aircraft or spacecraft that make human mistakes more likely.” (Discovery) Many of the human errors in aviation today are caused by common occurrences in the human interaction part of flight, and that if eliminated, will reduce the chance of airplane accidents. In aviation, the underlying

After the Deregulation Act of 1978 in the United States, the airline industry was forced to adapt to the rapidly changing environment (Goetz & Vowles, 2009). At the time, the nominally regulated air transporting environment permitted the airlines to begin services on any desired route, giving them a great deal of liberty in the market. Although things were going well for those involved in the aviation industry, several factors began to have a negative impact on the industry. For instance, as the

AVTR-57000- Topics in Aviation and Transportation Instructor: Bill Mckeowm Research Paper 1 The Future of Aviation Efficiency and the Impact on the Environment Simon Meilichson Lewis University Nov 18th 2016 Introduction Aviation is the major transportation industry in the world. It is the most efficient way to connect from place to place, and sometimes, the only way. It is a growing industry, unfortunately it results in a tremendous amount of pollution. The global community. Led by ICAO, the

Introduction When people think of noise control they normally think of sound being able to controlled. However, that not the case in airline industry. What noise controlled does to the airline industry is to seek a safe working environment that would not disturbed the environment and public health. It started in 1972 when congress passes the Noise Control Act to reduce noise pollution being produce by aircraft. Although there are other factors that is part of the noise pollution like automobile

The First two names that comes to mind when it comes to aviation are Wilburn and Orville; the wright brothers; Kitty Hawk North Carolina, when the Wright brothers made the first heavier-than-air, machine powered flight which lasted 12 seconds. Before those guys, many studies by brilliant minds, such as De Rozier, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Christiaan Huygens and Isaac Newton has been set in place which lead to this 12 second flight by the wright brothers in 1903. It was the matter of

The proposed maritime Tracking Surveillance Radar (TSR) onboard of SPS stations, such as airship or High Altitude Platforms (HAP) or specialized aircraft known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), can comprise several sectored observations beams (a, b, c and d), which permanently turn around can use the left or right side turning, and can provide scanning of water surface as shown in Figure 1. Such tracking system is capable to provide observation of strictly round area with certain diameter and detecting

is vulnerable to damages. The effects of turbulence can range from a bumping of the aircraft that can be discomforting for passengers and crew. It can also cause sudden accelerations that can result in serious injury or temporary loss of aircraft control. Clear-air turbulence is not only dangerous, it also has a major impact on the efficiency of flight operations due to rerouting and delays of aircraft. According to the FAA, "From 1980 through 2008 U.S. air carriers had 234 turbulence accidents, resulting

factors that contribute to successful or failed communication. There are many factors to be considered when analyzing communication in the context of CRM, such as dialect. English is the universal air traffic language, yet it would be impossible to regulate accents and intelligibility of an air traffic controller or aircraft crew. This can obviously lead to missed communication between an American

Indentify two issues that are unique to this emerging technology. “UAV” stands for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. Two issues that were mentioned in the course about UAV’s were the increase of air traffic and the rights to privacy. There would need to be another program for UAV’s to fit into the air traffic control system or have another program or set of laws to regulate the routes in which these air vehicles can safely navigate the sky and not harm people and/or property. Another issue using UAV’s is
