AGING AIRCRAFT: STRUCTURAL FAILURE Introduction 1. The term ‘Aging Aircraft’ generally applies to the aircraft getting older in its operational service. An aircraft begins to ‘Age’ as soon as it first flies and various effects begin to occur. However‚ the term is usually applied to the issues which can begin to arise as the time-since-new becomes significant. Aircraft design methodologies and approved maintenance schedules take account of the effects of the continued use of aircraft. Non Destructive

NextGen: A Proactive Approach To Accident Investigations D. R. Simmons 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

FAILURE ANALYSIS Investigators in the Concorde accident undertook research to find incidents that involved tyres or landing gear on the Concorde since its entry into service. Archives from EADS‚ Air France‚ British Airways‚ BEA‚ AAIB‚ DGAC‚ CAA and Dunlop were consulted to establish a list of such incidents. The assembled list contained fifty-seven entries; all cases of tyre bursts or deflations. Thirty cases were for the Air France fleet and twenty-seven for British Airways. Of these events;

Aircraft Mechanics are also known as: Airframe or Power Plant Mechanics and Avionics or Aviation Technicians. As a valued and critical member of an airline’s chain of operations‚ the primary responsibility of this professional is aircraft preventive maintenance that ensures peak operation‚ performance‚ and safety. This is achieved through aircraft servicing‚ repairing‚ overhauling‚ and testing. A Mechanic performs all required maintenance and inspections of aircraft engines‚ landing gear‚ pressurized

Accident Investigation Physics‚ Module 2 - Honors Extension Introduction: After a motor vehicle accident occurs‚ it will usually be investigated. Sometimes it will be reconstructed. The people that perform these duties are police and independent investigators. Accident investigation: The police will investigate an accident focused on any criminal actions which took place during the accident. For example: speeding‚ alcohol use‚ drug use‚ etc would be considered a criminal action

and mechanical failure. In much of aviations accidents mechanical failure has been a contributing factor. It is impossible however to blame plane crashes on one reason since events leading up to an accident are so varied. Reasoning for plane crashes can be placed in a broad number of categories. Environmental conditions play a vital part in aviation as a whole. Much planning goes into a flight based on the current and forecast weather conditions for safety reasons. Accidents have occurred due

AN INVESTIGATION OF STUDENTS’ COGNITIVE STRATEGIES IN READING COMPREHENSION (A Study of First Semester of Postgraduate English Students’ Reading Strategies in UPI) Lelita Ratna Sari ABSTRACT Reading is a tool to get information and knowledge from texts. But it is quite difficult for the student to comprehend it well. It needs strategies that may expose students in enhancing their reading comprehension. This study attempts to investigate the cognitive direct strategies employed by the students

major weather hazards that cause a number of aircraft accidents. It is a hazard that can snowball out of control and cause problems such as reduce aircraft efficiency by increasing weight‚ reduce lift‚ decrease thrust and increase drag. These effects can cause the aircraft to increase stalling speed or cause the aircraft to force downward in flight. Over the years‚ aircraft engines and airframes have changed dramatically. Modern day aircraft are aerodynamically less accepting of airfoil
