The Cessna Aircraft Company is an American general aviation aircraft created in 1927 by Clyde Cessna in Wichita, Kansas, which is currently where headquarters located. The Cessna Aircraft Company is best known for small piston-powered aircraft. Cessna 152 first introduced in 1977 after its successor, Cessna 150. Both Cessna 152 and Cessna 150 are an all metal high wing two seat aircraft with fixed tricycle landing gear widely used for flight training and personal use. The Cessna 152 is insignificantly
signs off on the commercial pilots certificate. *A commercial pilot needs either an up-to-date first- or second-class medical certificate, and instrument rating and a multi-engine rating *to recieve a medical certificate and aviation medical examiner must first confirm that you meet the health and fitness requirements to be a pilot. *need to receive an Instrument rating to prove the ability to fly with low visibility(during inclement...
The Wright Brothers: First to Fly What would the world be like without flight? Today we take aircraft for granted but for centuries man could only dream of flight. It was not until the late nineteenth century that human flight started to become a reality. During this time people started to see flight as a possibility, and enthusiastic inventors began working on and experimenting with many different types of flying machines. Although there were many determined people trying to develop an airplane
As the world advancement for aircraft safety, and the demand for aviation industry emerges, still, many factors would result to an aviation disaster, tragedy, and accident. This investigation focus on another horrible event that involves a questionable training for commercial pilots, An accident that indicates a further series of human factor issues, facing the most of the undesired weather conditions, the critical points of landing protocols and procedures,and the lack of technological adaptations
The aircraft captain shoulders the responsibilities of guaranteeing the normal operation of the aircraft, keeping the cabin crew and passengers safe. Firstly, the prime responsibility of the aircraft captain lies in that he shall supervise and take charge of the aircraft operations and make sure that the flights are safe and successful. The captain undertakes the obligations to instruct the crew, exam the flight process, check up whether the plane is in good condition before it takes off. Then, the
Boeing 737-200 departed the airport and failed to produce sufficient thrust; icing on the wings disrupted airflow to generate adequate lift and blocked engine EPR probes provided false engine performance data. The results shaped the pathway to poor aircraft, which impacted the 14th Street Bridge in Washington, D.C. This particular catastrophe is the first that I remember as a child. There are over 37 findings are listed by the NTSB in reference to Air Florida Flight 90. The general focus is improper
An aviation accident is characterized by the Сonvention on Іnternational Сivil Аviation Аnnex 13 as an circumstance correlated with the conveyance of an aircraft, which takes place during the planes’ journey; Where a person suffers from injuries or the plane sustains damage and it’s missing or inaccessible. Plane crashes can occur by all ranges of causes from human error to weather related. An occurring accident usually results in a high amount of casualties which leaves a bad mark on aviation. As
flourishing and huge industry for a long time now. Plus, the professions in this area are one of the most breathtaking jobs in the world. There are different types of pilots. Airline pilots are one of them. An airline pilot is an aviator who flies big aircrafts with passengers and their cargos inside. There are certain levels to become an airline pilot. An airline pilot must earn a bachelor’s degree, numbers of licenses and ratings, and build up at least the minimum flight time experience required by an
to do this certain instruments are used. Here are a few instruments that are used to track storms. The observations of a storm will help meteorologists predict the type of storm that is coming and how long it will last. It will also help them to better prepare the public in case of a severe storm. There are instruments used to track the weather before the storm and they are the anemometer, the wind vane, the hygrograph, and the barometer. Meteorologist use an instrument called an anemometer
of the aviation community (Kraus xiv). Civil aircraft have had onboard protection from midair collisions only since 1990 and general aviation aircraft are not required to have any collision avoidance technology onboard(www.cassd.org 1). In order to effectively manage the national airspace system in the future we will need to implement Free Flight. Free Flight is a concept designed to enhance safety and efficiency of the airspace by allowing aircraft to choose their own route instead of using victor
Addressing the challenges of aging aircraft is greatly needed in aviation maintenance to increase the serviceability and reliability of both military and civilian aircraft around the world. There are many different ways to detect and ways to slow down the aging process. Over time aircraft will age just the same as a human would and as the years go by there are more needs for inspections to extend the life of the aircraft, but it is impossible to completely prevent the effects of aging. Corrosion
Usually, aircraft accidents are rarely a result of single isolated events. In most cases, several factors are in play, and connected as links in a chain to lead to such disastrous fatal accidents. Nonetheless, the pilots' responses are often the final link in such chain of events. The manner that the pilots respond to the emerging issues that bring planes down in accidents is normally perceived to be the sole cause of such accidents, yet investigations normally reveal numerous other causes. Some
time. The pilots on this flight did not adhere to SOP’s and flew the aircraft to its maximum performance capabilities. (Thesis) The accident occurred due to the unprofessional behavior of the pilots’, their failure to properly report and prepare for an emergency landing and improper management of the double engine failure checklist. The pilots were aware of the reduced weight and increased maneuverability of the empty aircraft even before the flight had begun. The pilots wanted to see the potential
dangerous to flight but most accidents can be avoided if the right precautions are taken to avoid potential bad weather situations. I will take a closer look at icing conditions on aircraft and give examples of icing related accidents Body Icing, or ice buildup on the wings, is a particular problem for aircraft. When ice builds up on wings, it can disrupt airflow, robbing an airplane of lift and can decrease its angle of attack, which keeps it in the air. Wind tunnel and flight tests have
On December 20th, 1995, American Airlines Flight 965, a Boeing 757, departed Miami, Florida at destined for Cali, Colombia (AA965 Accident Report 1996). The aircraft was operating under instrument flight rules when it crashed into the mountainous terrain of Columbia while it was descending under visual meteorological conditions (AA965 Accident Report 1996). The accident site was near the town of Buga, Columbia which is located roughly 33 miles northeast of the Cali VOR (AA965 Accident Report 1996)
care is above ten [thousand feet] and we go fast so we can get around this….thing,” likely meaning that he wanted to maintain an indicated airspeed of more than 250 knots, which is the maximum airspeed allowed below 10,000 feet by 14 CFR 91.117, “Aircraft Speed.” At 0930:09, the captain stated during a conversation with the first officer, “good thing I didn’t tell ‘em it was gonna be a smooth ride huh? I looked at the radar and there wasn’t anything.” The first officer responded, “doesn’t it figure
The first officer is second in command after the pilot who also goes by the name of captain. In case the captain of the aircraft is incapacitated in any way, the first officer takes over and assumes the command of the airplane. According to the information, I have gathered from the happenings of December 1, 1993. I would have been more assertive with the captain of the aircraft. I would have made it clear to the captain that I completely disagreed with the approach that he was taking during at that

Airline Pilot Gage Barney Airline Pilot Have you ever wondered what it 's like to have your office 30,000 feet above the ground?Aviation is a career for those interested in working with computers and the airplane.whether working on the ground preparing for a flight or in the air transporting people to their destinations pilots are always busy traveling around the world. Pilot don 't only transport people around the world but also cargo. Although being an Airline pilot is a thrilling career it
Like much of today’s technology, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles attribute their creation to the military. The idea of using unmanned aircraft has long been a dream for the military -- scouting planes without any casualties to report should something go wrong, air strikes with only time and money to lose, and the ability to wage war without losing a single life. Well the third one may perhaps not be realistic – as Afghanistan has shown, lack of ground troops leaves certain entities unchecked.1 However
