outgrowth of NASA research into the causes of air transport accidents. The research presented at this meeting identified the human error aspects of the majority of air crashes as failures of interpersonal communications‚ decision making‚ and leadership. At this meeting‚ the label Cockpit Resource Management (CRM) was applied to the process of training crews to reduce “pilot error” by making better use of the human resources on the flightdeck. Many of the air carriers represented at this meeting left

I. Summary The V-22 Osprey is an aircraft that is currently used in the military. Its unique design of a tilt rotor system has proven to be useful in different mission in the military. However‚ the Congressional Research Service (2009) in their study has said that this helicopter has multiple aerodynamic issues. During the service of this aircraft demonstrated mechanical issues that affected the elements of aerodynamic flight and emergencies situations that caused the V-22 program in constant upgrades

The Cessna Citation X corporate jet is equipped with two Rolls-Royce AE 3007C engines capable of producing over 6‚400 lbf of thrust each‚ they propel the Citation X to a maximum speed equal to 92% of the speed of sound at altitude (.92 MACH). While these engines are extremely powerful‚ have amazing reliability‚ and operate in environmental extremes. The steps required to start‚ operate‚ and shutdown the Rolls-Royce AE 3007C Turbojet engine are relatively simple. Before starting the engines several

The purpose is to have the plane wait at a specified part of airspace (“Protected airspace”) until the traffic ahead of your plane is far away enough or has landed. Though Holding instructions are seldom ever used under the Procontroller/Squawkbox virtual ATC environment‚ on very congested areas (Fly-ins) or simply for practice‚ it can be interesting

In the article “Why are Airplanes safe” the main idea is that out of all the transportation there is in the world‚ the safest is flying on a airplane. In the article the author Christine Negroni explains all the reasons why it is the most safe transportation because all the pilots are trained and the airplane is always checked for safety measures. Negroni supports her explanation by explaining all the details it takes just to be able to have one flight to be successful. The author explains
