The 1956 Grand Canyon Midair Collision By Bryan Smith Air accidents have been a common occurrence since the beginning of aviation. In the early years they were viewed as an inevitability and even accepted as a consequence of man’s quest to conquer the skies. Though there have always been attempts to prevent these accidents‚ not every possibility can be predicted‚ let alone planned for or prevented. Thus‚ in many ways‚ the advancement of aviation has mostly been reactionary‚ sometimes necessitating major events

A Role of Chicago Convention and ICAO in the Development of International Air Law: A Critical Approach Introduction: Before the advent of aircraft‚ law-makers cared little for the sky above. Even when Ghenghis Khan ’s falcons preceded his master ’s hoards of horseback warriors‚ it was probably a welcome intrusion on airspace: a life-saving signal to run and hide! But balloons made way to dirigibles‚ then to winged aircraft. In the First World War‚ weapons were fitted onto aircraft and the world

Introduction Highway traffic operations are influenced by the behavior of drivers. A highway can be used by a finite number of vehicles‚ and the driver perceived safe distances between vehicles determine this limit. For a given speed‚ as distances become shorter‚ more vehicles can use the highway. Both the volume of drivers choosing to use the highway (demand) and the maximum volume that can be served (supply) depend on driver behavior. Congestion results from too many people attempting to reach

Problems in Air Traffic Control and Proposed Solutions In northern California this summer‚ the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) unintentionally performed it’s first operational test of "free flight"; aviation without direct air traffic control. This was an unintentional experiment because it was a result of a total shut-down of the Oakland Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC). Although Oakland is only the 16th busiest ARTCC‚ it’s responsible for the largest block of airspace of

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract This paper examines the current status of the air traffic control system and the inherent problems therein. Future probabilities inherent in air traffic control are reviewed. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has provided a solution to the problems in the form of Next Generation Air Transportation (NextGen). The advancements of air traffic control with the implementation of NextGen technology are discussed‚ as well as the impacts on the National
