This paper reviews the tragic mid-air crash of PSA flight 182 and Cessna N7711G a Cessna 172 over San Diego and its resulting FAA rules and regulation changes, and their affect on the U.S. aviation industry. PSA Flight 182’s mid-air resulted in the most sweeping FAA changes to airspace to date. The FAA rules and regulation changes was a success in preventing similar mid-airs of this type.…
The airplanes were supposed to meet at 30,000ft instead of 8,000 due to bad weather conditions.…
(1.) (U) Severely Restricted Terrain in the area of operations. The densely vegetated region within the rural portions of the AO is the most restricted areas. The only way to travel these areas is while dismounted, which the enemy has been known to do. Vehicle movement is impossible due to a lack of developed roadways in these…
This paper will overviews the human factor implications of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B). ADS-B is leading edge technology and since it is the future of air traffic control, these human factors issues need to be highlighted and resolved before full implementation of the system. ADS-B technology affords the opportunity for reduced separation standards, increased capacity and efficiency of flight operations, and it provides for greater airspace flexibility while maintaining or enhancing the quality of our environment. ADS-B monitoring will be an additional task for pilots to manage but the greater accuracy of traffic information over radio position reports should improve situational awareness of ADS-B traffic and ultimately decrease a pilot’s workload. Ultimately, ADS-B will increase safety while decreasing airspace congestion. Great abstract…
The following report is a security assessment on Aircraft Solutions and the primary objective in this assessment is to identify the existence of vulnerabilities present within the global context of Aircraft Solutions’ operations. An evaluation of the associated threats will be deduced, accompanied by the exposed weaknesses. This will be followed by an analysis of the degree of risk present. Finally, there will be a focus on the consideration of the consequences resulting from revealing of potential threats. Assessment Hardware and policy will be the main focus of this investigation. It will be narrowed down more to hardware issues.…
Poor management control over gate boarding and gate closing, failure to monitor departure time schedule for flights. International flight departed ahead of scheduled time without regard as to passenger list and reasons for possible passenger delays.…
The safety measures taken after the attacks were established by the US government to create peace on earth, and while flying above…
After 9/11 airport began to have stricter requirements to able to board an airplane. During 9/11 security at the airport wasn’t as heightened as it is now. The Department Of Home land security was created. TSA officials were trained better to do security checks (Valerie Lucus-McEwen, 2011). The attack on 9/11 was a wakeup call for the whole United States not just New York because this disaster could have happened anywhere in the United…
On that bright, clear, and fateful day of September 11, 2001, 19 Saudis and al-Qaeda Operatives, wielding knives and box-cutters, hijacked four American aircraft. At 8:45 a.m. American Airlines Flight 11 departed Boston, Massachusetts in route to Los Angeles, California crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center with 81 passengers and 11 Crewmembers on board. Just 18 minutes later, United Airlines Flight 175, also in route from Boston to Los Angeles, with 56 passengers and 9 crewmembers hit the South Tower. At…

Blank and Blank (Year) state that, “terrorist attacks can produce conditions that resemble disasters, such as the following: Kill or injure large numbers of people, affect a large geographic area and many jurisdiction…” (p. 108). This is why the Incident Command System can be tremendously important. When a major terrorist attack happens, it will involve multiple agencies. The September 11 attacks are an example of how interoperability can fail. The radios utilized by the NYPD and FDNY were not compatible with each other, because the individual agencies did not want to speak to each other (Newman, Year, p. 126). This led to a lapse in communications. The ICS contains pre-established chains of command that serves to mitigate inoperability between differing agencies. In incidents involving weapons of mass destructions, there is an added danger. Through the use of chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) hazards; terrorists can make a dangerous situation even deadlier. The introduction of CBRN agents can make an attack more deadly and contagious. The proper identification of symptoms and their causes is not always readily apparent either. Information sharing is enormously vital in this regard. All responders must be made aware of any possible CBRN contamination in order to mitigate the effects as much as…
Shock, disbelief, and devastation were just a few of the emotions that people around the world were experiencing on September 11th, 2001. On what seemed like a normal day in Manhattan, New York, little did everyone know it was the beginning of a huge unthinkable disaster. 8:46 a.m. was when the first highjacked plane had hit Tower One. Not too long after, the second tower was hit. Dozens of fire crews responded as soon as they heard the news. The issues that were recognized in the outcome of this terrorist act were social, psychological, and economical.…

Unfortunately, September, 11th 2001 left the United States terrified. After the attack, many citizens around the United States felt frightened for their lives. Before 9/11 people did not really pay attention to the events that might occur to them flying. Flying became a nightmare to the public because people thought they would not return back home safely to their families and loved…
system that proved vulnerable to crisis. The disaster was summarized as a combination of human and technical errors although the investigation pointed out communication inaccuracy as the sole cause for the tragedy. Attention error, perception error, response communication error, poor decision making and an insufficient airport all contributed to the crash. This disaster has great impact directly and indirectly to the stakeholders such as two national airline companies, the victims and their families, the airport employees and the Spanish government, as the country where the accident took place. Therefore, this disaster involves the aviation industry in three different countries, laws, languages and also local political issues. Right after the disaster, both airlines and Spanish government has to deal with several sensitive issues including the crash survivors and victim, body identification, releasing information to the public, sorting financial responsibility under the pressure of high level of media coverage and time limit. Since the event, international aviation organizations and airline business have worked hard to put together new regulations, crisis prevention and response plans that will stop similar…
