(2) Analyzing all accident data without regard to the type of airframe provides for an easy sampling and less potential bias toward fixed wing vs. rotary wing aircraft. (3) Not including ground accidents into the research will allow the research to focus only on aviation accidents. (4) Limiting the research to a four-year period; 2003 to 2006 will provide an adequate sampling of the data and not constrain the research results. Assumptions First Assumption The

tooling control programs are used in the aviation industry to help reduce the number of lost tools and miscellaneous equipment that can be misplaced by workers performing maintenance or installation services in an aircraft facility. Such lost tools can also include otherwise harmless office supplies such as pens or paperclips, making the need for a rigorous foreign object damage control program for tooling control essential for aviation companies today.

A clear and pointed memo needs to occur from the President's desk. Item III -- critical issues -- Based on the above, the first critical issue is to meet with, dialog, and come to an agreement with maintenance that the issues between Safety and Maintenance become more team oriented and congenial. It is essential for both departments to understand that working together is not optional for the continued fiscal health

Risk of Drones encounters with manned aircraft in the National Airspace System Abstract The research problem identified is analyzing the risk factors of incorporating unmanned piloted aircraft into the National Airspace to the United States and the manned aircraft, which operates in the National Airspace. The methodology employed was quantitative statistical analysis using hypothesis testing for concluding whether there is a risk factor associated with unmanned aircraft or not. The sample is
