Since a long time research have been in this filed which now a days finally lead us to the modern aviation industry. An anomaly is a deviation from
the normal or expected behavior. Anomaly Detection is that property which is used to identify cases, which do not conform to an expected pattern.
This has a great role in aviation filed to analyze the data and helps us to study about it, which finally helps us to maintain high–level safety in airlines
operation.
Motivation Aviation safety is one of the major concern for everyone who is directly or indirectly involved in this sector. As since last five decades we
can see that aviation safety have been improving steadily. Similarly accident rate has also decreased significantly. In last decade, accidents rate had

Abstract:
The missing Malaysia Airline flight MH370 on March 8, 2014 is not only a technical mystery but determines current weaknesses in technical, regulatory
and organizational infrastructure of international civil aviation. Safety culture of international civil aviation is the fundamental pillar of success but
unfortunately aerial disasters occur. This article discusses about missing Malaysia Airline flight MH370 and the difficulties to manage search, rescue,
accidental investigation, recovery efforts and lessons learnt. Introduction:

In less than an hour after take–off at 1:20 MYT, Malaysia Airline lost contact with air traffic controls. Malaysia Airlines reported for the missing flight
at 7:24 MYT carrying 239 passengers including 12 Malaysian crew.
The disappearance and supposedly crashed flight MH370 disturbed consumer confidence in the airline with share prices falling. In a span of four
months, another Malaysia Airline was shot down over Ukraine. Even with the planned route airline earned criticism for travelling over conflict zone.
Malaysia Airlines was struggling for cost cutting to compete with a wave of new, low–cost without a distress signal. They lost almost US $137.4
million in the first quarter of 2014. Malaysian Airlines made no profit since 2010. In last three years, Malaysia Airlines booked losses of US $1.25
billion. The company 's stock fell by 20% following the disappearance of Flight MH370 and had fallen 80% over the previous five years. Following
the disappearance, ticket sale had declined. Especially in China it was down by 60% in the month of March. Also, there was a spike in resignation
from the flight crew though it was below industry norms.
Emergency Responses:
Final Contact: The final contact occurred at 1:19 MYT with air traffic control (ATC), when one of the pilots replied "Good night Malaysian Three
Seven Zero". The crew was expected to contact ATC when it passed into another area where the contact was lost.

Flight 800 Research Paper
Flight 800 One of the most deadly plane crashes was when two planes ran into each other on the ground, killing 583 people. One of the deadliest
plane crashes in the air was Trans World Airlines (TWA) flight 800. In the report they say that mechanical failure is at fault. Other people say that
it was a missile strike at fault. The mystery behind the crash of TWA flight 800 can be summed up in two groups, missile hit or mechanical failure.
First, Flight 800 was a plane that exploded killing all 230 people, they don't know what made it explode. "On 17 July, 1996 Trans World Airlines
flight 800 exploded off long Island. Killing all 230 people on the plane"(Girard, pg.1) Divers spent over 10 months finding 20,000 pieces of the plane

First, the FDR and CVR both stop at 8:31 and pick up the pilot saying look at the crazy fuel flow indicator there on number 4(Schlager. pg.2). The
Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) says that there is no signs of criminal involvement in their last report before they stopped their
investigation(Schlager. pg.3). There was no sign of cratering, severe pitting as you would typically find them with a missile or bomb.(Gale.pg.4) The
official report says that something caused the volatile fuel/air mixture in the center wing fuel tank(CWT) to explode(Schmitz. pg.3). The crazy
message, no signs of criminal involvement and explosion of the CWT are the reasons officials use for backing up the theory of malfunction.
Lastly, missile strike and malfunction are two of the most common theories surrounding the mystery behind Flight 800. Many people saw a bright
light and there was a radar spot that no one knew what it was. The FDR and CVR both line up with what the FBI and National Transportation Safety
Board(NTSB) are saying happened. What would you do if your plane was about to crash and you most likely would not

Safety Management : A Priority For Aviation Operation
1–Introduction
Safety management is simply applying principles, framework, processes and measures to prevent accidents, injuries and reduce the risk. It is that
system which exists to help managers in better accomplishing their responsibilities for operations that design through either the prediction of system's
failures before errors occur or the identification and correction of system's failures and errors by analyzing safety occurrences. The safety management
has to be supported the top management; it must be a priority for aviation operation. (1)
SMS provide a set of practices, procedures and beliefs that will mitigated and monitor safety risks.
We have to differentiate between the SMS and Flight safety program, the Flight safety program is reactive towards the airline operation while SMS is
predictive in considering the risk and hazard and their impact on the whole system.
1.1 Definition
SMS is set of components contains technical – operational, financial and human resources management. Safety management is an organizational
function, which ensures that all safety risks have been identified, assessed and mitigated.
Risk Management is the process of assessing and recognition risk and measures taken to monitor and reduce them.

The QA (or FOQA) concept is the prevention of occurrence of defects. The principle of prevention is that it is necessary to preclude maintenance
failure. This principle extends to safety of personnel, maintenance of equipment, and virtually every aspect of the total maintenance and flight
operations. Prevention is about regulating events rather than being r regulated by them.. Flight operations quality assurance (FOQA) is the process
of collecting and analyzing data from flights to improve safety and efficiency of flight operations. FOQA is used to reveal operational situations in
which risk is increased in order to enable early corrective action before that risk results in an incident or accident Data is retrieved from the flight
recorder and categorized. Then, the data is sent to be analyzed. The analysis is usually done by software. After the data analysis is done, the manager
will contact the appropriate airline or pilot association and place the necessary corrections in place. Lastly, all the flight operations will be watched to
ensure safety protocols are being followed and any discrepancies being reported. For the maintenance department, QA will readily pinpoint problems
which managers can use to improve the quality and reliability of the total maintenance, work environment, tools and equipment use, eliminate
unnecessary man–hour and dollar expenditures, improve training, work habits, and

Problem statement
One of the most scrutinized pieces of evidence gathered from an aircraft accident is the collection of information contained in the Cockpit Voice
Recorder and Flight Data Recorder. CVRs and FDRs paint an often haunting, but frequently useful picture of what occurred during the last minutes of
an accident flight. This is not to say, however, that the recorders are always conclusive, or even useful. There are a handful of cases where the CVR
and FDR tapes have broken, failed to record, stopped recording early, or not captured enough information to be useful to the investigation.
Advancements in these devices are not new to the industry; however, the pace is slow to incorporate new technology into current fleets. ... Show more

The attacks were regarded by some as particularly disturbing to children, in part because of the frequency with which the images were replayed on
television. Many schools closed early, especially those with children whose parents worked in Washington, D.C. and NYC. During the Air India Flight
182 Terrorist attack, the bomb on Flight 182 killed all 22 crew and 307 passengers, including 82 minors. Post–accident medical reports graphically
illustrated the outcomes of the passengers and crew. Of the 329 persons on board, 131 bodies were recovered; 198 were lost at sea. The bodies
recovered included 30 children. Eight bodies exhibited "flail pattern" injuries, indicating that they exited the aircraft before it had hit the water. This, in
turn, was a sign that the airplane had broken up in mid–air. Twenty–six bodies, including twelve children, showed signs of hypoxia (lack of oxygen).
Twenty–five bodies, mostly victims who were seated near windows, showed signs of explosive decompression. This included seven children.

The Safety Of The Air Travel
As one of the most popular methods of travel worldwide, air travel is something most can't live without. But we know that a metal tube soaring
through the air at 40,000 feet, in a low oxygen environment, at over 400 knots can contain a risk or two. When the worst case scenario happens, who
foots this bill? Is it the airline, country, maintenance facility? Or maybe it is a terrorist organization that was responsible for the accident. Either way, in
the aftermath of an aircraft accident, people want nothing more than to be able to mourn the loss of their loved ones without the politics involved in
the accountability department. Historically, these horrific accidents could have been prevented in most cases and I'm here to tell you that unless the
accident was caused by an act of war, the airline is absolutely responsible to the families of the victims involved.
Under an international agreement known as the Montreal Convention of 1999, an airline generally cannot escape liability for a passenger death
(Ingram) and per the IATA, the airline is responsible for death and injury as well as loss of baggage and cargo. The Montreal Convention makes it
difficult for an airline to propose any type of argument because it is an international treaty and a standardized way of pointing fingers at the airline
when an accident occurs. Complementing this international treaty is the Title 14 code of Federal Regulations which governs Airworthiness

OCTOBER 12, 2016
ANSWERS
1.A safety management system is a systematic approach to safety. It is a precise and proactive process for managing safety risks. As all management
systems, a safety management system provides for goal setting, planning, and measuring performance. This is approached in Safety Policy which is
one of the most important components of Safety Management System (SMS). Safety policy deals with the structure and outline of implementation of
safe operations. Within other elements, the safety policy includes planning, organizing, compliance with regulations and low, documentation, and
emergency preparedness and response. It is the level which upper level management must buy in and constantly assist the SMS. In the absence of
management buy in and assistance, the failure of SMS is inevitable. Since employees are affected by the behavior of management, it is highly
expected to observe deliberately not obeying the rules or ignoring policy which are an emulation of the management behavior. I also should not
overlook to the fact that top management demonstrates the way people do their jobs because managers are the role model for all the employees in
organization. From the top to the bottom, managers 'attitudes and actions will be copied. And, employees will make managers' beliefs and actions their
own. That is why top management support is crucial for an effective SMS.

Physics : Surface Air Missile Strike
On October 31, 2015, the Russian international chartered passenger flight Metrojet 9268 crashed in the middle of the Sinai peninsula in Egypt, from
Sharm el–Sheikh International Airport en route to Pulkovo Airport, Saint Petersburg, Russia. (Patrick, 2015). The crash took the world and Russia by
surprise, as it was unprecedented in that region and unexpected, given that the weather conditions were suitable and so was the plane's technical and
mechanical situations. As investigations around the accident proceeded, new details emerged around the circumstances surrounding the crash,
producing three main theories. One theory suggests an explosive device being the reason behind the crash, the second theory suggests technical and
mechanical failure, while the third theory suggests a missile strike that brought down the airplane. What do each of these theories argue? An
exploration of the evidence surrounding each theory would help provide an answer to this question. First Theory: Surface–to–Air Missile Strike The
first theory regarding the crash argues that there is a missile which hit the plane and caused it to crash down. Advocates of this claim believe that
Sinai is an active space for militants which have been receiving sophisticated weapons, including surface to air missiles. Alexander Smirnov, a

A Brief Note On The Aviation Safety Of Aviation Accidents
According to Rodrigues and Cusick (2012) humans are accountable for approximately 70–80% of aviation accidents (p.156). A majority of these are
caused by the different variables associated with human performance. Psychological factors have a key role in a pilot's everyday responsibility. Some
of these traits include: perception, memory, attitude, judgment and decision making, as well as ego (Rodrigues & Cusick, 2012, p. 158–160). These
qualities can have drastic effects in commercial aviation if they are not recognized and adjusted accordingly. In this paper I will respond to some
questions that are raised in aviation safety: 1.)Can we stop the amount of human errors in aviation? 2.)Is training the problem? 3.)What is being done
to slow down the number of errors/accidents? If we can find the answers to these questions, then I believe it is possible to limit and slow down the
number of human errors in aviation, thusly slowing the number of accidents and lives lost due to human performance. Can We Stop the Amount of
Human Errors? The reality of the situation is no. Humans are different and that is what makes us unique. We will always make mistakes and you
cannot stop them. We all have different perceptions, memory capacities, attitudes, decision making skills, and egos. These qualities can be good or
bad. Perception is a very important aspect in aviation. That is why pilots are instructed to read back to ATC (Air Traffic Control) in order for them to
know that they

Causes Of Malaysian Flight 370
Have you ever wondered what happened to Malaysian Flight 370, which took off on March 8th 2014 from Malaysia headed toward Beijing? The
entire world was in shock when they heard that Flight 370 with its 239 passengers and crew vanished off the face of the earth. The airlines, media and
even aviation experts were all perplexed about how such a sophisticated aircraft with tracking and radar systems could just disappear during a routine
flight. Theories have emerged that the plane crashed into the ocean either by being set on auto pilot or by the actions of the aircrafts captain, or
even that it was taken over by highly trained hijackers and flown to a foreign land. Malaysian airlines Flight 370 took off out of Kuala Lumpur
International airport on March 8th 2014 with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board. It was headed on a five and a half hour journey to
Beijing Capital International Airport in China. A little less than an hour after takeoff the aircraft's crew made its last voice contact with air traffic
control and 3 minutes later the aircraft disappeared from air traffic control's radar screens. However, Flight 370 was still being tracked on military
radar as it deviated westwards and crossed the Malay Peninsula. It left the range of Malaysian military radar an hour later while over the Adamen Sea.
That was the last known location of the aircraft. A large multinational search was set up in an effort to locate the jumbo jet that is presumably sitting at

Problem statement
One of the most scrutinized pieces of evidence gathered from an aircraft accident is the collection of information contained in the Cockpit Voice
Recorder and Flight Data Recorder. CVRs and FDRs paint an often haunting, but frequently useful picture of what occurred during the last minutes of
an accident flight. This is not to say, however, that the recorders are always conclusive, or even useful. There are a handful of cases where the CVR
and FDR tapes have broken, failed to record, stopped recording early, or not captured enough information to be useful to the investigation.
Advancements in these devices are not new to the industry; however, the pace is slow to incorporate new technology into current fleets. ... Show more

There is no disputing the fact that black boxes are essential components of civil aircraft today; their job is critical to the investigation of an accident,
however, safety experts would argue that the basic capabilities of these devices are no longer sufficient.
Specifications
The International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO) is a regulatory body, which sets standards for international aviation. ICAO is broken into 18
annexes, and, comparable to international law, they are the very basic requirements that the organization's 185 member states must follow. Annex 6
to ICAO deals with the operation of aircraft and states that CVRs should be capable of retaining the information recorded during the last 30 minutes
of the device's operation. In addition, ICAO has recommended that CVRs installed in aircraft over 5,700kg with a certificate of airworthiness issued
after January 1, 1990 be capable of retaining information recorded during the previous two hours of operation. ICAO suggests that flight recorders be
"constructed, located and installed so as to provide maximum practical protection for the recording in order that the recording information may be
preserved, recovered and transcribed. Flight recorders shall meet the prescribed crashworthiness and fire protection specifications" (Frostell 20). The
FAA has met the recommendations of ICAO and set the following standards for CVRs and FDRs:

Description Of A Flight Recorder
1. Introduction It is very difficult, when an accident occurs during a flight to determine precisely what happened for several reasons: Most of
the time, during a flight, an aircraft is not in an environment where people cannot testimony what they saw (over water, high in the sky ...)
When the aircraft crashes, it is often in an area difficult to access (open sea, on a mountain, ...) When the aircraft is ready to be examined,
after being recovered from a difficult crash area or after a potential fire has been extinguished, the pieces are frequently severely damaged. To be
able to retrace what happened during the last moments of the flight of the aircraft, before an accident or incident, a flight recorder has been
developed. The information collected by this flight recorder can help the investigation teams to understand what happened even when the aircraft is
badly damaged or even impossible to use to find answers. But developing a flight recorder is not simple precisely because it has to withstand a
severe accident. When an extreme fire starts after a crash for example, the flight recorder has to stay in good conditions until it is recovered by
someone on the crash site. Therefore, regulations, certifications and standards have been made to ensure that this element in the aircraft has all the
required properties. Nowadays, the flight recorder has an increasing role to play in investigations of accidents because of the number of passengers
that can be carried on a

many of the unrecovered targets were converted into computer aided design ("CAD") images, which in turn were used to simulate certain important
targets from the aft fuselage of the aircraft. Under the supervision of the RCMP, these simulated targets were assembled with the actual recovered
wreckage in a partial reconstruction of the Kanishka at a warehouse in the Lower Mainland as an aid to understanding the technical expert evidence
regarding the destruction of the aircraft. Experts presented portions of their evidence at this warehouse during the trial and referred extensively to the
reconstruction in demonstrating their respective theories. The significance of this expert evidence lies primarily in their differing opinions regarding
the location of the bomb that precipitated the destruction of the Kanishka. The Crown theory, supported by the opinion evidence of Professor
Christopher Peel, is that it was located in Baggage Area 52, which contained the M. Singh bag. The defence theory, supported by the opinion evidence
of Dr. Edward Trimble and Mr. Frank Taylor, is that it was located some five feet forward of that location in Baggage Area 51, containing luggage

There are technologies being discussed to improve crash location technologies. They are improvements to the ULB battery life, an additional low

Why We Must Go Wrong
As the saying goes "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong", yet being fully aware of this, humans don't avoid doing things altogether, instead
we intentionally thrive toward finding that which can go wrong out of curiosity for knowledge and fear that we might miss out on something if we
don't. There is a lesson to be found in every disappointment and negative outcome therefore, we gain experience, we discover, and learn to live with
things going wrong because that means we are one step closer to it going right. We learn to live with these things by jotting down our mistakes and
others prior mistakes to help us prepare accordingly to future situations. This is especially true in aviation. Without things going wrong, flying would
not hold the safest mode of transportation nor would it be as advanced, as there would be nothing to aid us in how to prepare for the next flight
otherwise. We've spent the last years in aviation focusing on increasing safety by trying to perfect aircraft to only learn, as Wilbur Wright stated, "...the
safety of the operator is more important than any other point. Greater prudence is needed rather than greater skill." This meaning that it isn't the
technology or the aircrews' individual capabilities; it is the lack of caution and preparation instilled into the aircrew. Information gathered from flight
data recorders, FDRs, and cockpit voice recorders, CVRs, revealed new insights on aircraft accidents. The result of several accidents was

A Brief Report On Colgan Flight 3407 Essay
February 12th, 2009. A sad day it was in the United States, mostly in the eastern section of the great land. Colgan flight 3407 was set for departure
from Newark, New Jersey set to land in Buffalo, New York. Traffic was significant enough to illuminate plenty of people travelling to Buffalo and
back as a total of 110 recorded flights from different carriers were incoming and going between the two locations. In which seven Continental flights
were bound for the Newark Liberty International Airport from Buffalo Niagra International Airport on the same day. Little did the passengers and
crew members know that Flight 3407 was special. As the plane was approaching the New York area, the cockpit crew observed ice accumulation on
the aircraft's wings. This was an indication of the flight operating in a low temperature area and may have been the cause of the crash. The
accumulation of ice on the wing adds weight to the air–bone body and thus, reduces the lift. Additionally, it also changes the shape of the wing, and
this shape is what gives the lift. During the investigation held by the National Transportation Safety Board, the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) was
examined and found out that the crew did not recheck if the de–ice system installed in the aircraft was operational or not. This was critical due to the
fact that the ice buildup was a mere 6 minutes before the plane crashed. The Flight Data Recorder was brought into account, it stated that the de–ice

Examples Of Confirmation Bias
CASE STUDY: AVOID THINKING TRAPS KIMBERLY BLACKBURN WESTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY What has become known as
Confirmation bias is the tendency people have to embrace information that supports their beliefs and reject information that contradicts them
(Kolbert, 2017). The crash of Comair Flight 5191 in Lexington Kentucky in 2006 due to pilot error is a good example of confirmation bias. It is
believed the flight crew convinced themselves they were on the right runway due runway lights that they were told were unserviceable in a previous
flight. On the flight's voice recorder, the pilots never appeared confused (Ortiz, Patton, & Ku, 2007). It was a classic example of confirmation bias,
the act of only seeing evidence supporting their preconceptions, investigators said (Ortiz, Patton, & Ku, 2007). Confirmation bias is our feeling to
choose the information that confirms what we belief or the ideas we have on a subject. Sometimes this can lead us to misjudge or make wrong
decisions. The pilots of flight 5191 out of Lexington airport let their belief of the situation make them make the wrong decision and not confirm they
were on the right runway. Pilots Clay and Polehinke ignored the warning signs of the unlit runway, too short runway and their distracted conversation
during the pre–flight time. To avoid confirmation bias one has to be aware of its existence. Mindfulness and emotional intelligence can both be of help

19 seconds before the mid–air the controller received a conflict alert alarm in the tower indicating a possible aircraft conflict. The controller
subsequently ignored the alarm because he felt that since PSA flight 182 had acknowledged having the Cessna in sight and the controller felt that
the aircrew of PSA flight 182 was meeting their requirement of visual separation, notification was not required in his opinion. The controller did
try to notify the Cessna that PSA 182 had them in sight and that PSA 182 was eastbound at six o' clock and descending. There was no response

The captain and 10 passengers were killed; the first officer, the flight attendants, and 105 passengers received serious of minor injuries; and 24
passengers were not injured. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces and a post–crash fire. Flight 1420 was operating under the provisions of 14
Code of Federal Regulations (CRF) Part 121 on an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan. Contributing Casual Factors There are several causal factors
that led to this event. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined that the probable causes of this accident were "the flight crew's
failure to discontinue the approach when severe thunderstorms and their associated hazards to flight operations had moved in the airport area, and the
crew's failure to ensure that the spoilers had extended after touchdown. Contributing factors of the flight crews determination to land in the inclement
weather are: (1) impaired performance resulting from miscommunication associated with the intent to land under the circumstances, (2) continuation of
the approach to a landing when the company's maximum crosswind component was exceeded, (3) failure of the spoilers to deploy, and (4) use of
reverse thrust greater than 1.3 engine pressure ratio after landing." (NTSB, 2001). Weather Weather observation at Little Rock National Airport are

In less than an hour after take–off at 1:20 MYT, Malaysia Airline lost contact with air traffic controls. Malaysia Airlines reported for the missing flight at 7:24 MYT carrying 239 passengers including 12 Malaysian crew. The disappearance and supposedly crashed flight MH370 disturbed consumer confidence in the airline with share prices falling. In a span of four months, another Malaysia Airline was shot down over Ukraine. Even with the planned route airline earned criticism for travelling over conflict zone. Malaysia Airlines was struggling for cost cutting to compete with a wave of new, low–cost without a distress signal. They lost almost US $137.4 million in the first quarter of 2014. Malaysian Airlines made no profit since 2010. In last three years, Malaysia Airlines booked losses of US $1.25 billion. The company 's stock fell by 20% following the disappearance of Flight MH370 and had fallen 80% over the previous five years. Following the disappearance, ticket sale had declined. Especially in China it was down by 60% in the month of March. Also, there was a spike in resignation from the flight crew though it was below industry norms. Emergency Responses: Final Contact: The final contact occurred at 1:19 MYT with air traffic control (ATC), when one of the pilots replied "Good night Malaysian Three Seven Zero". The crew was expected to contact ATC when it passed into another area where the contact was lost.

  • 4. Flight 800 Research Paper Flight 800 One of the most deadly plane crashes was when two planes ran into each other on the ground, killing 583 people. One of the deadliest plane crashes in the air was Trans World Airlines (TWA) flight 800. In the report they say that mechanical failure is at fault. Other people say that it was a missile strike at fault. The mystery behind the crash of TWA flight 800 can be summed up in two groups, missile hit or mechanical failure. First, Flight 800 was a plane that exploded killing all 230 people, they don't know what made it explode. "On 17 July, 1996 Trans World Airlines flight 800 exploded off long Island.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) says that there is no signs of criminal involvement in their last report before they stopped their investigation(Schlager. pg.3). There was no sign of cratering, severe pitting as you would typically find them with a missile or bomb.(Gale.pg.4) The official report says that something caused the volatile fuel/air mixture in the center wing fuel tank(CWT) to explode(Schmitz. pg.3). The crazy message, no signs of criminal involvement and explosion of the CWT are the reasons officials use for backing up the theory of malfunction. Lastly, missile strike and malfunction are two of the most common theories surrounding the mystery behind Flight 800. Many people saw a bright light and there was a radar spot that no one knew what it was.

Safety Management : A Priority For Aviation Operation 1–Introduction Safety management is simply applying principles, framework, processes and measures to prevent accidents, injuries and reduce the risk. It is that system which exists to help managers in better accomplishing their responsibilities for operations that design through either the prediction of system's failures before errors occur or the identification and correction of system's failures and errors by analyzing safety occurrences. The safety management has to be supported the top management; it must be a priority for aviation operation.

The QA (or FOQA) concept is the prevention of occurrence of defects. The principle of prevention is that it is necessary to preclude maintenance failure. This principle extends to safety of personnel, maintenance of equipment, and virtually every aspect of the total maintenance and flight operations. Prevention is about regulating events rather than being r regulated by them.. Flight operations quality assurance (FOQA) is the process of collecting and analyzing data from flights to improve safety and efficiency of flight operations. FOQA is used to reveal operational situations in which risk is increased in order to enable early corrective action before that risk results in an incident or accident Data is retrieved from the flight recorder and categorized. Then, the data is sent to be analyzed. The analysis is usually done by software. After the data analysis is done, the manager will contact the appropriate airline or pilot association and place the necessary corrections in place. Lastly, all the flight operations will be watched to ensure safety protocols are being followed and any discrepancies being reported. For the maintenance department, QA will readily pinpoint problems which managers can use to improve the quality and reliability of the total maintenance, work environment, tools and equipment use, eliminate unnecessary man–hour and dollar expenditures, improve training, work habits, and ...

Problem statement One of the most scrutinized pieces of evidence gathered from an aircraft accident is the collection of information contained in the Cockpit Voice Recorder and Flight Data Recorder. CVRs and FDRs paint an often haunting, but frequently useful picture of what occurred during the last minutes of an accident flight. This is not to say, however, that the recorders are always conclusive, or even useful. There are a handful of cases where the CVR and FDR tapes have broken, failed to record, stopped recording early, or not captured enough information to be useful to the investigation.

  • 12. The Safety Of The Air Travel As one of the most popular methods of travel worldwide, air travel is something most can't live without. But we know that a metal tube soaring through the air at 40,000 feet, in a low oxygen environment, at over 400 knots can contain a risk or two. When the worst case scenario happens, who foots this bill? Is it the airline, country, maintenance facility? Or maybe it is a terrorist organization that was responsible for the accident. Either way, in the aftermath of an aircraft accident, people want nothing more than to be able to mourn the loss of their loved ones without the politics involved in the accountability department. Historically, these horrific accidents could have been prevented in most cases and I'm here to tell you that unless the accident was caused by an act of war, the airline is absolutely responsible to the families of the victims involved. Under an international agreement known as the Montreal Convention of 1999, an airline generally cannot escape liability for a passenger death (Ingram) and per the IATA, the airline is responsible for death and injury as well as loss of baggage and cargo. The Montreal Convention makes it difficult for an airline to propose any type of argument because it is an international treaty and a standardized way of pointing fingers at the airline when an accident occurs. Complementing this international treaty is the Title 14 code of Federal Regulations which governs Airworthiness Certification and Operation of all commercial ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 14. Evaluation Of A Safety Management System Essay NURETTIN DINLER AVS5207– EXAM–1 OCTOBER 12, 2016 ANSWERS 1.A safety management system is a systematic approach to safety. It is a precise and proactive process for managing safety risks. As all management systems, a safety management system provides for goal setting, planning, and measuring performance. This is approached in Safety Policy which is one of the most important components of Safety Management System (SMS). Safety policy deals with the structure and outline of implementation of safe operations. Within other elements, the safety policy includes planning, organizing, compliance with regulations and low, documentation, and emergency preparedness and response. It is the level which upper level management must buy in and constantly assist the SMS. In the absence of management buy in and assistance, the failure of SMS is inevitable. Since employees are affected by the behavior of management, it is highly expected to observe deliberately not obeying the rules or ignoring policy which are an emulation of the management behavior. I also should not overlook to the fact that top management demonstrates the way people do their jobs because managers are the role model for all the employees in organization. From the top to the bottom, managers 'attitudes and actions will be copied. And, employees will make managers' beliefs and actions their own. That is why top management support is crucial for an effective SMS. 2.The data transfer in aviation industry is critical to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Physics : Surface Air Missile Strike On October 31, 2015, the Russian international chartered passenger flight Metrojet 9268 crashed in the middle of the Sinai peninsula in Egypt, from Sharm el–Sheikh International Airport en route to Pulkovo Airport, Saint Petersburg, Russia. (Patrick, 2015). The crash took the world and Russia by surprise, as it was unprecedented in that region and unexpected, given that the weather conditions were suitable and so was the plane's technical and mechanical situations. As investigations around the accident proceeded, new details emerged around the circumstances surrounding the crash, producing three main theories. One theory suggests an explosive device being the reason behind the crash, the second theory suggests technical and mechanical failure, while the third theory suggests a missile strike that brought down the airplane. What do each of these theories argue? An exploration of the evidence surrounding each theory would help provide an answer to this question. First Theory: Surface–to–Air Missile Strike The first theory regarding the crash argues that there is a missile which hit the plane and caused it to crash down. Advocates of this claim believe that Sinai is an active space for militants which have been receiving sophisticated weapons, including surface to air missiles. Alexander Smirnov, a spokesperson for Metrojet, added a probability to this theory when he said that a technical fault is ruled out, in addition to pilot error, blaming the crash on what he considered ...

  • 20. A Brief Note On The Aviation Safety Of Aviation Accidents According to Rodrigues and Cusick (2012) humans are accountable for approximately 70–80% of aviation accidents (p.156). A majority of these are caused by the different variables associated with human performance. Psychological factors have a key role in a pilot's everyday responsibility. Some of these traits include: perception, memory, attitude, judgment and decision making, as well as ego (Rodrigues & Cusick, 2012, p. 158–160). These qualities can have drastic effects in commercial aviation if they are not recognized and adjusted accordingly. In this paper I will respond to some questions that are raised in aviation safety: 1.)Can we stop the amount of human errors in aviation? 2.)Is training the problem? 3.)What is being done to slow down the number of errors/accidents? If we can find the answers to these questions, then I believe it is possible to limit and slow down the number of human errors in aviation, thusly slowing the number of accidents and lives lost due to human performance. Can We Stop the Amount of Human Errors? The reality of the situation is no. Humans are different and that is what makes us unique. We will always make mistakes and you cannot stop them. We all have different perceptions, memory capacities, attitudes, decision making skills, and egos. These qualities can be good or bad. Perception is a very important aspect in aviation.

ICAO is broken into 18 annexes, and, comparable to international law, they are the very basic requirements that the organization's 185 member states must follow. Annex 6 to ICAO deals with the operation of aircraft and states that CVRs should be capable of retaining the information recorded during the last 30 minutes of the device's operation. In addition, ICAO has recommended that CVRs installed in aircraft over 5,700kg with a certificate of airworthiness issued after January 1, 1990 be capable of retaining information recorded during the previous two hours of operation.

  • 30. Description Of A Flight Recorder 1. Introduction It is very difficult, when an accident occurs during a flight to determine precisely what happened for several reasons: Most of the time, during a flight, an aircraft is not in an environment where people cannot testimony what they saw (over water, high in the sky ...) When the aircraft crashes, it is often in an area difficult to access (open sea, on a mountain, ...) When the aircraft is ready to be examined, after being recovered from a difficult crash area or after a potential fire has been extinguished, the pieces are frequently severely damaged. To be able to retrace what happened during the last moments of the flight of the aircraft, before an accident or incident, a flight recorder has been developed. The information collected by this flight recorder can help the investigation teams to understand what happened even when the aircraft is badly damaged or even impossible to use to find answers. But developing a flight recorder is not simple precisely because it has to withstand a severe accident. When an extreme fire starts after a crash for example, the flight recorder has to stay in good conditions until it is recovered by someone on the crash site. Therefore, regulations, certifications and standards have been made to ensure that this element in the aircraft has all the required properties. Nowadays, the flight recorder has an increasing role to play in investigations of accidents because of the number of passengers that can be carried on a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Under the supervision of the RCMP, these simulated targets were assembled with the actual recovered wreckage in a partial reconstruction of the Kanishka at a warehouse in the Lower Mainland as an aid to understanding the technical expert evidence regarding the destruction of the aircraft. Experts presented portions of their evidence at this warehouse during the trial and referred extensively to the reconstruction in demonstrating their respective theories. The significance of this expert evidence lies primarily in their differing opinions regarding the location of the bomb that precipitated the destruction of the Kanishka.

There is a lesson to be found in every disappointment and negative outcome therefore, we gain experience, we discover, and learn to live with things going wrong because that means we are one step closer to it going right. We learn to live with these things by jotting down our mistakes and others prior mistakes to help us prepare accordingly to future situations. This is especially true in aviation. Without things going wrong, flying would not hold the safest mode of transportation nor would it be as advanced, as there would be nothing to aid us in how to prepare for the next flight otherwise. We've spent the last years in aviation focusing on increasing safety by trying to perfect aircraft to only learn, as Wilbur Wright stated, "...the safety of the operator is more important than any other point. Greater prudence is needed rather than greater skill." This meaning that it isn't the technology or the aircrews' individual capabilities; it is the lack of caution and preparation instilled into the aircrew.

Colgan flight 3407 was set for departure from Newark, New Jersey set to land in Buffalo, New York. Traffic was significant enough to illuminate plenty of people travelling to Buffalo and back as a total of 110 recorded flights from different carriers were incoming and going between the two locations. In which seven Continental flights were bound for the Newark Liberty International Airport from Buffalo Niagra International Airport on the same day. Little did the passengers and crew members know that Flight 3407 was special. As the plane was approaching the New York area, the cockpit crew observed ice accumulation on the aircraft's wings. This was an indication of the flight operating in a low temperature area and may have been the cause of the crash. The accumulation of ice on the wing adds weight to the air–bone body and thus, reduces the lift. Additionally, it also changes the shape of the wing, and this shape is what gives the lift. During the investigation held by the National Transportation Safety Board, the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) was examined and found out that the crew did not recheck if the de–ice system installed in the aircraft was operational or not.

Examples Of Confirmation Bias CASE STUDY: AVOID THINKING TRAPS KIMBERLY BLACKBURN WESTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY What has become known as Confirmation bias is the tendency people have to embrace information that supports their beliefs and reject information that contradicts them (Kolbert, 2017). The crash of Comair Flight 5191 in Lexington Kentucky in 2006 due to pilot error is a good example of confirmation bias. It is believed the flight crew convinced themselves they were on the right runway due runway lights that they were told were unserviceable in a previous flight. On the flight's voice recorder, the pilots never appeared confused (Ortiz, Patton, & Ku, 2007). It was a classic example of confirmation bias, the act of only seeing evidence supporting their preconceptions, investigators said (Ortiz, Patton, & Ku, 2007). Confirmation bias is our feeling to choose the information that confirms what we belief or the ideas we have on a subject. Sometimes this can lead us to misjudge or make wrong decisions. The pilots of flight 5191 out of Lexington airport let their belief of the situation make them make the wrong decision and not confirm they were on the right runway.
