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 captain is in charge of the flight operation and after the landing of plane; he is supposed to draw up a post-flight report. In addition, the captain shall ensure the appropriate planning, execution, performance of every flight, and make sure that every flight complies with the rules and regulations set up by Federal Aviation Administration and meets the criteria established by each special airline. And a large number of provisions of law should be abided by. What is more, the captains should give priority to the safety the aircraft by taking into consideration of weather condition before it takes off. Examining the weather condition for the entire fight route is not enough, the captain shall also check up the diversion airfields of the flight route in case of any emergency. Secondly, the captain is accountable for drawing up a plan about the fuel. The captain is supposed to calculate the total weight of the passengers and carrying capacity of the aircraft, contributing to the working-out of weight that suits the plan about the fuel, and guarantee that the aircraft is not overloaded and the landing is out of question. And the captain is required to make an estimation about the flight time by thinking both headwinds and tailwinds over an...

...ies and to get additional training. Once this step is completed, their airline pilot duties will probably be to start out as either a flight engineer or as first officer. To actually be able to sit in the pilot's seat, most airlines want the pilot to have more than 4,000 flight hours. Though not all airlines require a college education for captains, most airline captains have a least two years of college, if not a full college degree. Many captains, according to Avjobs.com, come from a military background; others come from Federal Aviation Administration-certified (FAA-certified) civilian flight schools. All captains receive extensive training and education on how to fly, operate and maintain a particular aircraft. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, all pilots, captains included, are required to attend training and simulator checks once or twice a year.
As well as being dedicated to be at all the team’s events, the captain must have the commitment to know all the plays and roles of all the positions. He or she is the key person that everyone looks up to; if someone is confused about a play, they must be able to go to his or her captain and find the answer they are looking for. The captain must be available before and after the practice to answer any questions put forward by his or her team mates (Brearley, 2000). The captain should be like an instruction manual for anyone who needs it, he or she will help show and tell others how to do a job.

There are many things to consider when it comes to Mission Command, but I believe that leadership is the most important one of all. From the Commander issuing orders all the way down to the Private executing as he or she is told by superiors, we can all agree that great leadership will always ensure that the mission and the organization are successful.
The basic concept of crew resource management (CRM) is to train crewmembers to use all available personnel, equipment, and experience to safely and effectively operate an aircraft. It is used in nearly every facet of aviation from the smallest regional airline, to the largest major carrier, to the various crew operated military aircraft. One aspect of aviation missing from the fold is the general aviation (GA) community, such as the private pilot. This has become a growing concern as many future air carrier pilots and military pilots begin as private pilots. The need for CRM training in this area is there, but the training seems excessive and useless to many in the field as most of these pilots operate single pilot aircraft. Perhaps this attitude comes from the term "crew" and is dismissed by the ...
Since 1929, there have been people sitting in towers and dark radar rooms being the voice of regulation and controlling aircraft, these men and women are known as Air Traffic Controllers. Air Traffic Controllers hold much weight on their shoulders when they are “plugged in”; having thousands of lives under your control can bring this weight upon a controller. But what happens when an Air Traffic Controller accidently or negligently gives wrong instructions to an aircraft and there is a loss of life or structural damage? Who is responsible? In this paper I will discuss the legality that Air Traffic Controllers have looming over their heads while controlling aircraft. After discussing the legal bindings that Air Traffic Controllers have with

Commitment to a career of service will prepare me for leadership in the upper echelons of command, citizenship, and government. I aim to become the first military
In general there are two major people in control of the ship, the master and the hotel manager. The captain is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the vessel and all the crew who are part of this. Under him/her are all of the deck officers, engineers and able bodied seaman. The Hotel Manager is responsible for the other half of the ship, the guest side, which is equally important. Under him/her is everyone from reception to chefs to the cleaners. This compiles 80-90% of the crew on board. This means the deck is split into two distinct groups; navigation and hotel.

Part 1 “Leadership is a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal”. For this goal to be achieved, mutual cooperation and cohesive behaviour is important. Whatever the leader does, affects its followers. Issues can occur when becoming a leader. These issues can be external, internal and from the challenges of leadership itself. External challenges can mean lack of funding, opposition from community, interpersonal problems or competition from other organizations. Internal challenges can happen based on our emotions such as fear, lack of confidence and insecurity within the organization. Challenges that arise from leadership itself are simply based on the responsibilities that are carried by the leaders. With too much responsibility, one can become burdened and pressured which can lead to issues within the organization.
Flight fee is one of the biggest nightmares of the passenger. In this regard, such an initiative is a win-win situation for the Asiana airlines. The establishment of extensive cabin retrofits is also a great improvement to the customer service delivery. The airline also boosts customer experience in a bid to achieve the airline’s sustainability through the provision of lie-flat seats. The seats boost comfort for the passengers aboard; hence, reduction of exhaustion. According to Asian Development Bank (2009), the airline provides the passengers with a sizeable monitor, especially for the business class passengers. The practical productivity of team relies on upon its hypothetical planning, information of an aeronautical building, and tenets of its operation, including exceptional circumstances, and propensities for utilization of this learning, furthermore on order and determination of pilot-in-charge of aircraft and group individuals. The administration productivity air movement, the associations of flight action and a wide range of upkeep of aircraft in the greatest degree is controlled by the proficiency of the action association in the modern undertakings, cognizance of initiators, and the moral obligation of leaders of all positions for action concerning security control of
