The SR 111 accident stands as an example of the aviation
community coming together to solve a complicated and multi-
layered accident. Using
Case Study Discussion 8 AVM4700
and applying what you have learned in chapter 8, provide
informed responses to the following:
Consider the cost, complexity, and emotional impact of this
accident on the lives of professionals involved in the accident
investigation. Some investigators were required to relocate to
Canada’s east coast away from their loved ones. Put yourself in
their shoes: what challenges would these investigators and
medical personnel have faced in managing the intense emotional
impact of the accident?
Does this case study help you understand how complex an
investigation can be and how challenging it can be to train
investigators to handle these events? Which elements of this
investigation would require an operations investigator (pilot)
and which would need an engineering investigator
(maintenance)?
Canada, as the State of Occurrence, led the investigation of the
SR 111 accident. Consider that the State of Occurrence may not
always have the strongest connection to the accident, but its
AIA has authority over the investigation. What problems might
arise from this arrangement? Are there any advantages to it?
Can you think of a better way of designating the primary AIA?
Why is it so important for AIAs to be independent from the
government and regulator of their State? Is it possible for bias
to creep into an investigation? How can this be managed?

Must post first. Using
Case Study Discussion 9 AVM4700
and applying what you have learned in chapter 9, provide
informed responses to the following:
With two or more pilots, how might it be possible to
communicate and coordinate actions more effectively?
Complex technical systems can be difficult for humans to
diagnose and understand. Consider how challenging it can be to
troubleshoot a desktop computer when something goes wrong.
Imagine the challenge faced by the AF 447 pilots – they became
confused by their instruments and responded inappropriately.
How might the human–computer interaction be improved? How
can pilots be taught to avoid making the same mistakes in the
future?
Several human limitations impacted the pilots of AF 447.
Discuss how the pilots failed to effectively manage their
workload, maintain situational awareness, establish leadership
of the cockpit, and collaborate and communicate with each
other.
Taking an organizational approach to managing safety, what
organizations would you include in your investigation if you
were an investigator of the AF 447 accident? Would you include
the airline, ANSP, aircraft manufacturer, and/or regulator? Why
or why not?

Making reference to
Case Study Discussion 10 AVM4700
, and applying what you have learned throughout this course,
provide informed responses to the following:
The recreational use of RPAs by operators with limited aviation
experience can occasionally result in the devices entering
airspace where they pose a risk to aircraft with pilots on board.
To reduce this risk, some have suggested manufacturers should
be required to install GPS technology that recognizes restricted
areas and prevents the drone from entering. This strategy has
been called geo-fencing. What do you think? Would this be a
practical solution? How might it impact the cost of RPA
technologies? How would geo-fences be created, maintained,
and enforced? Might geo-fences be susceptible to illegal and
malicious hacking?
The international aviation community has been working to
establish licensing requirements for RPA operators; however,
the wide variability in size, type, and usage of RPAs makes this
challenging. A recreational user operating a very small device
requires far different qualifications that a professional RPIC
flying an aircraft with similar characteristics to a traditional
aircraft . How do you think regulatory oversight of both groups
can be practically accomplished? Are type and class ratings on a
licence sufficient to distinguish the different skill sets
required?
Some debate exists about whether the skills required of a
remote pilot are more aligned with the competencies of a
traditional pilot or those of an ATCO. Consider that pilots
generally use sensory information (visual, auditory, kinesthetic,
and olfactory cues) to help them understand their flying

4. environment while ATCOs must develop the skills to visualize
three-dimensional situations based on information presented on
a two-dimensional display. What do you think? If you had to
choose one, would you argue that the skills required for remote
pilots are more aligned with traditional pilots or those of
ATCOs?
Security is an ongoing challenge associated with RPAS. These
systems can be exploited by criminals seeking profit (drug
smugglers) as well as terrorists with political agendas (i.e,
using RPAs as weapons). How can the international aviation
community ensure the security of these systems? Should the
burden of maintaining security fall more on operators,
manufacturers, CAAs, or ICAO?
