Air safety

The popular trend of personally owning and operating a drone has experienced explosive growth by hobbyists. Although this is an exciting new technology made available to private individuals, there are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) laws already in existence for flying unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). In addition, state, city and county legislatures are regularly adapting new laws. The violation of these laws may result in criminal charges. Mandatory Registration of Hobby Drones Although…

crash a lot. For instance, in the article “The Drones Come Home” on page 7, John Horgan suggests the possible security risks domestic drones present, and supports the reasons through statistics. Horgan points out that “Since 2001, according to the Air Force, its three main UAVs -- the Predator, Global Hawk, and Reaper -- have been involved in at least 120 "mishaps," 76 of which destroyed the drone (Horgan 7). This statement made by the Horgan proves how uncontrollable drones are, even when…

regulated to prevent air crashes and any sort of inconvenience. However some cases of false licenses of fake identity put more attention on the fact that every fields include fragilities. Thomas Salme was a Swedish maintenance engineer who became a Boeing 737 pilot by flying a few nights in a flight simulator and printing a fake airliner pilot license. Amazingly enough, he flew passengers for thirteen years without any incidents. He had accumulated 10,000 unlicensed hours in the air. He was…

The quote, "[The pilot’s] plane is moments from disaster. But he cannot escape the dynamic dictated to him by his culture in which subordinates must respect the dictates of their superiors." represents a major idea of how cultural PDI plays a vital role in plane crashes. In the second sentence of the quote, it says “that he can't escape the dynamic dictated to him by his culture”. This is the idea of cultural PDI and this causes mitigation and other various harmful things that can lead to a…

Test #2 Correction Question 2. Diagnosis Phase: When I first read the question, it reminded me of my multivariable calculus first class session where my professor used an example of a plane being landed in windy weather, to teach us a concept of vectors. Initially, I began to picture the scenario of a plane flying under consideration of wind being involved instead of looking at the numbers. Afterward, I drew the free body diagram of how the problem looked as using numbers and direction. Since…

Reflection Writing this reflection about the experience of doing the professional project with a team has made me realize that communication is the most vital part in the project not only with clients but also with group members. My group has an important client, which is the Brisbane Airport Corporation. As we all know that Brisbane airport has a strict security system, which means we should accept security check when we enter the inside airport and their staff will follow us wherever we go in…

A few drops of rain, our drone to it, is the drone is too wet and unfortunately we can not fly a real downpour. Remember that if the drone in the air, we can not wipe the drops of the lens, making the recording may possibly…

SUDDENLY A NOISE in the distance. Gabriel woke up in fright, trying to wake up Jonas. “Wake up wake up Jonas,” Gabriel yelled. “It’s a plane, don’t worry” Jonas exclaimed. “My memories they are not working” Jonas said in fear. The plane then came and it was hovering them. Jonas and Gabriel didn’t know what was going on. The plain piercingly said, “Don’t worry you are not in trouble you are being rewarded for your bravery.” The ship scooped them up and they went back to the community. Jonas…

watching a documentary series called Air Crash Investigation. Many of the flights described in this chapter had an episode dedicated to their study that I watched several times. After reading the chapter and watching the series, I know that pilots have to be extremely alert when flying an airplane, especially in regard to their word choices. One of the flights described in Outliers, Avianca flight 52, ran out fuel because the flight crew failed to notify the air traffic controllers that they…
