Aviation Safety Program Management
The average air traveler rarely sees the essence of recognizing the aviation safety regulations in place. People only and often recognize the factors of safety after a horrific accident occurs. Within the daily working schedules in the private and commercial flights, countless lives of innocent passengers depend on the full implementation of the safety regulations. These safety procedures are in place to protect the lives of the passengers. The drafting and implementation of safety regulations is not only significant to those travelling by air, but to those conducting their business on the ground, as well. For instance, a scenario in which a large plane crashes in a large metropolitan area has disastrous and detrimental effects. Thus, every nation has placed a civil aviation authority to maintain order in the management of the air industry (Transportation department (DOT); federal aviation administration (FAA) (F.. page 53530) -- meeting, 2011).…...

Improving airline safety means continually improving policies and procedures based on the most recent evidence. The FAA, ICAO and other professionals in the airline and air freight industry are under continuing pressure to make certain that their policies and procedures represent state of the art, particularly in the area of safety. Air traffic continues to increase on a global level, leading to the need for a greater level of standardization and uniformity. This research explores the problem of risk manage in aviation and efforts to improve the industry safety record. It suggests areas that need to be studied in the quest for safer aviation.

Political Drivers in the Aviation Industry: Implications and Opportunities for Sustainability
Ladies and Gentleman, distinguished guests, and concerned citizens, thank you for joining us today as we reflect on the political and ecological challenges facing the British Aviation industry. Although I use the term challenges to describe the issues facing the aviation industry, I want to encourage all of you to see each challenge as a hidden opportunity. View each challenge as an opportunity for our industry to evolve as it grows more competitive, and begins to function sustainably.
Industries, such as ours, conduct business at the cross-roads of stock-holders, government regulatory agencies, all the while continuously finding ourselves subject to the geo-politics of the Middle-East and its affect on the price of crude oil.

Aviation usiness Ethics and Sept. 11 Industry Implications
On September 11, 2001, nineteen terrorists passed through several security checkpoints at three United States airports and proceeded to hijack four commercial jets. The horror began at 8:45 A.M. Two hours later, more than three thousand people were killed in New York City, rural Pennsylvania and Arlington, Virginia (Duffy, 2002).
shattered the nation's sense of safety and security and forever changed the way people travel through and across America. In response to the tragic event, there is an increased pressure on the aviation industry to develop and implement higher ethical standards.
ecause millions of people fly daily and rely on airlines, s well as the Federal Aviation Administration's oversight of aviation procedures, the entire aviation industry must work together to keep their passengers safe and secure.

Furthermore, subjective feelings of fatigue can be inconsistent with performance (Holding, 1983), sometimes exhibiting a greater sensitivity to sleep loss than the performance measures (Haslam, 1981).
While different studies have produced variable results about the effects of fatigue inducing elements in flight performance and aviation errors, yet there is on the whole general agreement among researchers that fatigue is negative factor in aviation, particularly when it comes to military operations. "Despite the mixed findings, there is agreement on the importance of adequate sleep management and sleep logistics for military troops in wartime (Johnson & Naitoh, 1974; Naitoh et al., 1986; Nicholson & Stone, 1987). (ibid)
Researchers also point out that the varying results obtained from studies are related to and dependent on the type of experiments and the situations in which the testing takes place. They note that the best data and sources of information on the true effects of fatigue…...

Aviation legislation and law is quite a complex subject. There are incredibly detailed rules and regulations based on the very sensitive nature of the aviation industry. Ultimately, the field of Aviation Law revolves around issues regarding the ongoing process of adhering to and updating regulations as technology continues to develop in the constantly changing industry. Aviation professionals of all levels are impacted by such regulations, and thus need to be aware of them. Ultimately, these laws and regulations impact the way that CM management is practiced within the industry because management needs to be aware to and adhere to such regulations.
In the United States, Aviation Legislation and egulations are determined by the FAA and local states. The FAA has a central document of authority in the Federal Aviation egulations (FAs). This legal system is a codified approach that spells out the very detailed and complex regulations involved in domestic and…...

Aviation Maintenance Management Theory & Practices
Aeronautics is considered to be the most secured and fastest mode of journey. But the frequent air accidents and resulting consequences reduce our reliance on the mode. Human flaws are acknowledged to be very critical in diverse fields like medicine, mining, shipping so also aviation. Irrespective of the fact that the role human component is widely acknowledged in the cockpit, its contribution in sphere of aircraft maintenance has been ignored to a great extent. (Special Investigation eports: Aircraft Maintenance Safety Survey) The first ever air accident as a consequence of manufacturing and designing error was associated with lcarus while many held the mistakes committed by pilot as responsible for the same. The faulty maintenance and irregular maintenance is considered to be a major cause of most of the air disasters presently. The accident of Aloha Airlines in Hawaii during 1988 occurred as a result of…...

The Educational and Financial Requirements of an Aviation Career
A career in aviation can mean a lot of different things. From the pilots who fly commercial airliners and the air traffic controllers who guide them from the ground to the routing specialists and engineers who keep the highly complex flight schedules in check, aviation is a highly varied field. The course that one takes will be a determinant in the nature of one's education, the costs of progressing in the field and the eventual earnings that one can expect. However, even with the greatest of ambitions in the field of aviation, starting the process does not have to be prohibitively complex.
According to the article by Cobb (2012), the first steps are fairly accessible to all who live in close proximity to an airport. Cobb advises that "aspiring pilots can launch their aviation interest by visiting a local airport - specifically the…...

Aviation Crashes: Delta 191 and USAir 1016
This paper examines two of the most devastating plane crashes in all of professional aviation, the crashing of Delta 191 and the crashing of U.S. Air Flight 1016.
To the lay person, these crashes might just look like isolated incidents that both involved the inability of technology to handle inclement weather. However, these crashes were related to a weather phenomenon known as a microburst -- a weather phenomenon that was not well understood at the times of the incidents and which neither the pilots nor the aircraft were well equipped to handle. This paper documents the elements of both crashes and the unique details that led to them both and how they could have been avoided. This paper also explores what a microburst is and how it functions and also scrutinizes why the field of aviation was so ignorant about this particular weather occurrence to…...

In would appear that cabin safety is still the main goal for the airline industry, as it should be, but it also appears that not enough individuals are paying attention to what is going on and what needs to be changed where the cockpit is concerned. hen even a small fire can damage systems that the pilot and crew need to fly and land the plane safely, this is a serious and significant issue that should be addressed quickly. Despite this, little has apparently been done regarding this problem.
As for what should be recommended for future research and study, there are two that are the most significant. First, cockpit safety must be further addressed through the use of smoke detectors, circuit breakers that will stop fires and problems from spreading, and other issues that will be helpful for the future. hen this problem is not addressed it does not really…...

2. Discuss the ICAO ulemaking Process including the rule of SAPs, PANS, and SUPPs
Three international bodies conduct ulemaking: the International Civil Aviation Organization, International Monetary Fund, and Civil Aviation Organization. These organizations conduct an examination on types of rule making. They begin by sponsoring international treaties, which generates traditional global responsibilities on ratifying countries. This is followed by enactment of voluntary codes of practice and standards. ICAO rulemaking process requires that all appropriate experts must be consulted before making any considerations. This helps in omitting certain issues, which might be an obstacle in the real world (Goglia, Halford & Stolzer,…...

Profitability and Air Travel
Recent history has been particularly unkind to the aviation industry. A sector uniquely vulnerable to the fluctuations, uncertainties and anxieties that seem to connect to particular moments in history, the air travel business has suffered greatly at the hands of a decade-long recession with various peaks and valleys; at the hands of series of wars in the Middle East punctuated by the 9/11 terror attacks and all their attendant paranoia; and at the hands of public health scares such as the SARS and avian flu panics. These events led to a dramatic reduction in elective air travel as members of the public within an inherent need to fly actively avoided doing so. Indeed, the financial hit on the industry as a consequence of 9/11 and the subsequent ar on Terror would be a catastrophic one, underlining one of the core internal contradictions of the air travel business.…...

Aviation maintenance and management are probably among the most important actions within the transport industry today. Failure to provide adequate maintenance or indeed to manage this effectively can result in errors, accidents, and death. In the aviation industry, death is far more likely than in other modes of transport, since there is the factor of height added to speed and crashing that act as danger factors when accidents occur. Kinnison (2004, p. 13) notes that, in reality, all mechanical parts and engineered components, regardless of quality, will fail at some point during their lifetime. This is at the heart of the importance of maintenance. Management means that maintenance and inspection schedules are set up in such a way that the failures cause the least disruption in service while ensuring optimal safety for passengers and crew. Specifically, maintenance management includes a variety of components such as repair, inspection, and the upkeep…...

On January 13, 1982, an Air Florida operated Boeing 737 crashed. Flight 90, with call-in nickname Palm 90, was schedule to fly from Washington, D.C. To Fort Lauderdale via Tampa. The flight crashed seconds after takeoff, just a mile from the Washington National Airport (Kaye, 2009). The Palm 90 disaster was the "the first major airline accident attributed to organizational factors," (Ciavarelli, 2007, p. 1). Some of the potential causes of the disaster are attributed to organizational factors such as Air Florida being an "upstart airline" that was willing to "cut corners," (cited by Kaye, 2009). A "poor decision chain" that included inadequate staff training, errors in judgment, "inappropriate procedures," and communication breakdowns were the primary factors in the accident (Ciavarelli, 2007, p. 2).
Weather was an intervening factor, but it was human error that caused the crash itself. At the time of scheduled departure, there was a blizzard in the…...

The business of aircraft for defense requirements is quite different from the requirements of aircraft for civilian requirements. The sale of the material is also to different groups and all defense equipment has to be sold to governments whereas the civilian purpose aircraft have to be sold to airline transport companies. The objective of the government for military aircraft is simple -- the protection of the country. Here the cost or carriage capacities are not very important considerations. What matters is whether the defense aircraft will be able to repel the possible attacks by the other country. The situation varies from country to country depending on the aircraft that the opposition has. The aircraft must have the capacity of being upgraded as these aircraft are likely to be used for many generations as they are quite expensive. Up gradation requirements mean that the company,…...
