ever ridden in an aircraft. Although air travel is one of the safest forms of transportation‚ accidents do happen with dramatic and terrifying results. The causes of these aviation accidents vary greatly depending on specific circumstances and problems that may develop during the flight process. Weather is one of the factors that can influence an aircraft accident in a number of ways. There are several weather factors that cause and contributed to aircraft accidents. An aircraft can become directly

corrosion damage in the lap joints of aircraft skins has become a major safety concern‚ particularly after the Aloha airlines incident. On April 28‚ 1988 a nineteen-year-old Boeing 737 aircraft‚ operated by Aloha airlines‚ lost a major portion of the upper fuselage near the front of the plane‚ in full flight at 24‚000 feet. The Aloha incident marked a turning point in the history of aircraft corrosion. In 1998‚ the combined commercial aircraft fleet operated by U.S. airlines was

an aircraft’s main body section that holds crew and passengers or cargo. In single-engine aircraft it will usually contain an engine‚ although in some amphibious aircraft the single engine is mounted on a pylon attached to the fuselage which in turn is used as a floating hull. The fuselage also serves to position control and stabilization surfaces in specific relationships to lifting surfaces‚ required for aircraft stability and maneuverability.

Transportation of Cargo on Passenger Aircraft Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract This paper provides information into the lack of aviation security with regard to cargo transported on passenger aircraft. Passengers and their luggage traveling on aircraft are subject to screening‚ security searches and body scanning prior to boarding. However‚ the cargo loaded may not have been inspected‚ allowing for potential security vulnerabilities to be exploited. Currently international flights

1. Factors that cause Difficulty in Searching for Missing Aircraft (MH370) 1.1 Unknown Flight Path To locate the location of the missing aircraft MH370‚ there is a need to first know the routes that the plane had flown. The Malaysian military radar had tracked that the plane had turn west off its intended flight route after the final radio message made by the pilot in the cockpit. This change of direction‚ turning west‚ made it much more difficult to track the location of the plane especially when

An Analysis of Preventative Crew Resource Management of Human Error in an Aircraft Crew Resource Management (CRM) is “… the proper response to threats to safety and the proper management of crew error‚” (Kanki 61). Human error is the cause of over half of all airplane crashes and is completely preventable (Kebabiian 2). Human error‚ also known as human factors‚ is any mistake that can be made that is a natural result of being humans (Human Error 1). The application of Crew Resource Management in
