Human Error In Aviation

“Industrialists touted automation as a way to improve working conditions and workers’ standard of living” (130). As seen from this quote, automation shaped the way we view labor. Not only did it provide a better alternative instead of using many people, but the use of machines reduced the number of accidents that may have occurred otherwise. Clearly, industrialists needed to look to “how to get the most out of machines rather than how to get the most out of people” (131). This was reduced because many of the more dangerous machines used in factory jobs were replaced with more modern and safer machinery.

Moreover, the consideration of independences between segments is an advantage because in this process it can reduce the complexity of Bombardier’s result gap. NTT sections the result gap by using manufacturing processes, which include production process, quality system process, and distribution process. Thus in this situation, NTT presume to emphasise on production process of C Series aircraft. Once NTT collected the possible explanations of the result gap from the previous step, we can structure the result gap by analysing the possible causes of the gap. NTT assume that the production gap may includes delay in supply of spare parts, spare parts quality out of specification, production machinery breakdown, low technical skills of workers, lack of skilled workers, messy in assembly line,

EMR can hurt us in many ways. For example, pilots might get hurt by lasers. Lasers, can cause complete blindness and this can be very dangerous for people driving vehicles.The damage occurs when the concentrated light is too strong or lasts for too long, and it burns the part of the retina that contains pigment or colour1. In this case, using lasers near an airports, is a very dangerous and risky thing to do because pilots could get hurt and lose some control of the plane. In 2013, there were nearly four thousand laser attacks in the U.S.A2.

Bill Nichols explores how documentaries are created in Introduction To Documentary but more specifically Nichols explores what he calls a voice, “Voice, then, is a question of how the logic, argument, or viewpoint of a film gets conveyed to us.” (Nichols 43). Crash of the Century has a voice and it gets conveyed to us through the use of ethos, pathos, and logos. A statement is shown at the start of Crash of the Century that it is a true story, based on eyewitness accounts, and recordings from the cockpits and control tower. The documentary also does a great job at showing the views of the different flight crews and the air traffic controller by visually showing what each crew was doing throughout the day which assists the audience in credibility towards the voice. These representations of ethos confirms the creditably of what the audience is about experience, but also the timeline structured documentary assist in the audience in understanding the disaster.

The NTSB found several reasons as to why the crash occurred. As stated earlier in the paper the conditions at the destination airport were forecasted to be poor visibility and possible icing. When dealing with icy conditions it can be hazardous to aircraft. This is due to the fact that ice on a wing spoils the airflow over it. This causes a loss of lift, and more drag, which can cause a stall to occur at higher airspeeds.

In light of the environmental factors that affect the airline industry this Study will focus on the traditional Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal Analysis, often referred to as the PESTEL Analysis. PESTEL analysis is a tool that is used to analyse an organisation’s macro-environment. Political Environment The incident of 9/11 has affected the airline industry adversely. The number of tourists to different countries has immensely decreased due to the fear of safety and security issues. On the other hand countries have put measures in place such as strict visa policies and border controls in an effort to combat terrorism attacks.

This was shown between March and November 1944 when the production of aviation fuel decreased between 180,000 tons to 20,000 tons. Hence it caused a shortage of fuel and the significance of strategic bombing was greater as they had to face less resistance and German aircrafts. In conclusion, the significance of strategic bombing on German economy increased when technology improved and there was a shift in tactics, however it wasn’t death blow of the war the Allies

However, there is in many people, at least subliminally, the fear of plane crashes. This fear finds its justification mainly in the often sensationalist manner in which the media treat airplane crashes. Plane crashes are always a catastrophic event, since according to their nature, often many deaths are recorded. If you look at but considering how many traffic accidents occur daily on the streets of German cities, which also call for fatalities in part, the risk of plane crashes appear but in a very other dimension. While

Abstract The accident on McDonnell Douglas DC-9-82, N215AA of 1991 is a good example of an aviation accident that occurred majorly due to human factors. This paper aims to analyze the main causes involving human factors that lead to the crash. The two core factors associated with the accident include; fatigue and situational stress. Both crew members sustained long duty day that exceeding the maximum waking hours. Additionally, the prevailing weather conditions placed them in a stressful environment.

Where an airport has significant market power incentive-based regulation is the only price regulation that will deliver efficiency gains. Airports usually have high credit ratings and can bear risk more easily than airlines. Regulation should be designed to facilitate this. Standards Poor passenger experience with check-in and security processes is another factor leading to a commoditization of the airline product and a low customer willingness to pay. Standards being introduced and proposed by the fast travel and checkpoint of the future programs and others could play an important role in improving passenger experience and willingness to
