Drones will fail. Drones will crash. Drones will hit humans. Drones will “fly-away”. Birds will interfere
with drones. Drones will be lost. Pilots and software will make errors.
This is the drone reality.
However, regardless of the potential risk factors involved with their operation, drones do provide
citizens, businesses, industries, and governments with tremendous value.
Furthermore, in many cases, drones provide a safer alternative to traditional manned aircraft
applications or civilian labour such as in oil and gas and mining inspection services.
Therefore, AVSS and The Institute for Drone Technology believe the challenge of the emerging drone
technologies is not to detect, exclude, or avoid the use of drones, but to determine how we can
safely utilize this growing and beneficial technology.
This presentation was given on the 14th of April 2016 during the EASA/OPTICS Conference in Cologne, Germany. It is almost the same presentation given previously at the CHC Safety & Quality Summit but includes a few additional slides about the initial results of the data collected.
In this research paper, I go over research related to the dangers in automation in the aviation domain and how it compares to the two most recent Boeing 737 Max accidents. (This article was written before the final NTSB report was released).
In 1994, the University of Texas Human Research Project and Delta Airline developed the Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA) program. With time, the LOSA program evolved into what is now known as Threat and Error Management (TEM).
The TEM framework is an applied concept which emerged from the observations and surveys of actual flight operations. It considers the various issues that a flight crew may encounter as a result of internal and external factors.
This model explores the contributing factors of the threat to aviation safety and, in turn, allows for the unearthing of ways to mitigate them and maintain proper safety margins. Now recognized and adopted across continents, the TEM framework aims to educate flight personnel on managing threats and errors before they degenerate into serious incidents or accidents. It is important to note that TEM is also applicable to maintenance operations, cabin crew, and air traffic control.

Review and analysis of a January 16, 2014, major turbulence eventSchneider Electric
On January 16, 2014, United Airlines flight 89 from Newark to Beijing departed at 12:55 p.m. Eastern, carrying 189 passengers and 16 crew members. Forty-five minutes into the flight, food and beverage service had just begun when the plane began to experience severe turbulence. Pilots were not expecting turbulence of that nature; it was so severe that it injured five flight attendants and the plane had to return to the Newark Liberty International Airport.
The aviation industry is in need of flight weather hazards forecasts that are timely, targeted, and not dependent on operations and planning managers to interpret potentially dangerous and costly situations. Our newest, patented model delivers better-defined turbulence, icing, and thunderstorm forecasts more frequently, based on global weather data models and a high definition U.S. model, which help to reduce the need for interpretation.

Automotive crash detection and airbag deployment using mems accelerometer1MartinSeremani
The project come up with MEMS accelerometer which detects a crash using a microcontroller(ECU) to deploy airbags after assessing the magnitude of the impact from a signal sent to the microcontroller by the accelerometer. The project will mainly focus on headon crashes and the deployment of front airbags.
Airbags are standard in automobiles today, and they are generally designed to deploy in frontal collisions [6]. Sensors in the automobiles measure sharp decelerations caused by collisions to know when it is time to deploy the airbags [6]. While this was the original method for deploying airbags, additions have been made to that system because it does not take passenger occupancy or position into account.
Occupancy is important for various reasons. One of the reasons is that if an airbag is deployed, it cannot be reused and must be replaced [6].Thus if an airbag deploys unnecessarily, an avoidable cost for replacement is incurred, and the car becomes unsafe for passengers until the airbag is replaced. Another reason the identity of an occupant is important is injuries as airbags commonly cause minor injuries, which at times are greater injuries [6]. Airbags inflate at about 160kph, while seatbelts help prevent severe injuries, airbags can be fatal to children [6]. That iswhy different government have set laws in place requiring airbags be tested for different ages ofchildren [5]
Boeing, an American aircraft company created the newer version of B737 and named it as B737 Max 8. The newer aircraft was preferable in fuel consumption than the antecedent and the airlines need not to upskill their pilots for the new aircraft. This captivated the airlines and they hastily purchased it. B737 Max 8 was built to compete their rivals, Airbus as they built their updated version of A320 as A320 neo with better fuel consumption which dragged the attention of airlines towards Airbus, a disadvantage for Boeing. Boeing built B737 Max 8 in quick succession and hastily. They tried to save short term cost but they didn’t know it would cost them long term expense. Boeing increased the size of their engine for better fuel consumption and changed the engine placement. To overcome the error, they equipped the aircraft with software called ‘Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System’ (MCAS) that would recover the aircraft from stalling. FAA approved the aircraft by overviewing it to a subsidiary level than actually required due to lack of personnel. Boeing said that the pilots doesn’t need any additional skills or training on the new aircraft but didn’t informed about the MCAS.
On 28th October, 2018, Lion Air was scheduled to Jakarta faced severe nose down movement repeatedly but the third pilot, who was actually not on duty, knew the software, identified the software issue and turned it off. The aircraft was landed safely. The next day, 29th October, 2018, Lion Air Flight 610 faced the same problem and this time, the aircraft crashed killing all the people onboard. 5 months later, 10th March, 2019, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 was scheduled to Kenya from Ethiopia but the aircraft faced severe nose down maneuvers and after 6 minutes, the aircraft crashed killing all 157 people onboard.
The reason behind both the crashes was same. The cause of these deadly crashes was error in the MCAS sensor and consequently the MCAS software. The pilots were unaware of the presence of the software; they weren’t trained accordingly and didn’t know how to turn it off. Hence, these bizarre reasons led to disastrously lethal crashes which resulted in nothing but ashes and terrible memories.
Boeing, despite of admitting their fault, urged the president Trump not to ground the aircraft and keep them flying in the USA. Lately, all the aircraft are grounded and Boeing had to finally accept their fault and is now suffering a huge loss both in terms of finance and trust of the other company.
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) pose an increasing threat to the aviation sector due to the rapid proliferation of the technology into civilian hands.

Advancements and Applications of Drone Technology: A Comprehensive ReviewIRJTAE
Drones have gained significant attention in recent years due to their increasing utility across various sectors.
These unmanned aerial vehicles come in a range of shapes and sizes, from small consumer drones to large
military-grade UAVs. The accessibility and affordability of drone technology have spurred innovation, leading to
new applications that were once considered impractical or too expensive. The advancement in drone technology
has been fuelled by improvements in battery life, sensor technology, and artificial intelligence, allowing drones
to perform complex tasks autonomously.
The growing use of drones has not been without challenges, however. Regulatory bodies worldwide are
struggling to keep pace with the rapid technological advancements, leading to a patchwork of regulations and
safety standards. Additionally, the potential for drones to invade personal privacy or cause safety risks has raised
public concern. This paper aims to provide a detailed exploration of the current state of drone technology,
focusing on key applications and the challenges faced by the industry. One significant aspect driving drone
adoption is the economic potential they represent. In sectors like logistics and agriculture, drones can
significantly reduce operational costs and improve efficiency. This economic incentive has led to increased
investment in drone technology, further accelerating its development. At the same time, this rapid growth
requires a balanced approach to ensure that drones are used safely and ethically.

Re: Safety in Aviation Submittal 1420 new Bellevue
Dear Mr. Elwell,
Enclosed is my aviation submission for safety in aviation at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. My project was on aviation safety and from the word go relied on quantitative studies. The PDF packet includes 9 pages and breaks down as follows:
1. The letter of transmittal: pg.2
2. Abstract: pg.3
3. Analytical paragraph: pg.5
4. Introduction and Background: pg.6
5. Recommendation: pg.9
6. Conclusion: pg.10
7. References: pg.11
Considering the nature of report, it is limited in scope to different structure and platforms; we expect some challenges in the completion of research topic due to the time factor. I fully expect a further research and analysis of data applying statistical tools. On top of that, the project calls for analysis and recommendation of the research. The memorandum is attached to show the job allocation and scheduling thus I would require more time as I shall rely upon qualitative and quantitative tools of research. Therefore, I would request for a special consideration of all my sections of the project.
I would like to go ahead with my project on safety in aviation. Kindly pay a close attention to the progressive report of the work done and offer any green light for the completion of the project. Your guidance would be appreciated to the latter. Moreover, let me know if you experience any difficulties with my files or anything that seems to be not in order.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
