The Colgan Air crash led to a couple of new regulations by the FAA and Congress. The FAA passed a final rule recommended by the NTSB that requires training (ground and flight) enabling pilots to prevent and/or recover from stalls, training for a more efficient way of pilot monitoring, and extended training on flying in crosswinds and wind gusts (Press Release – FAA Boosts, 2013). Congress also passed the 1,500 hour rule, which was not included in the NTSB’s recommendations, which states that commercial pilots must have at least 1,500 hours and an airline transport pilot (ATP) certificate; however, there are a few exceptions. Military pilots are only required to have 750 hours total time. Those who have obtained a Bachelor’s degree in aviation
On November 28, 2004 at about 10:00 a.m. mountain standard time, a Canadair (now Bombardier) CL-600-2A12 (Challenger 600), tail number N873G, crashed into the ground during takeoff at Montrose Regional Airport (MJT), Montrose, Colorado. The aircraft was registered to Hop-a-Jet, Inc., and operated by Air Castle Corporation doing business as Global Aviation. (Insert Here)The flight was operating under Part 135 Code of Federal Regulations. The captain filed the flight under an IFR Flight plan. Of the six passengers on board, three died from fatal injuries and the other three sustained major injuries. The aircraft was totaled due to the impact with the ground and a post-crash fire.
The novel Flight by Sherman Alexie is a story about a time traveling Indian foster kid who goes to shoot up a bank, but instead he gets transported through time and receives valuable lessons on how to deal with his main issue of abandonment. Every time he leaps into a new body the lessons get progressively difficult. Yet when he jumps into the last body, he must face the person that he blames the most, his father.
I assisted the Squadron Commander in leading 6 ICUs (surgical/cardiac/medical/pediatric/neonatal/intermediate) at a Level I Trauma Center; with care established valued at $24.7M. I provided career guidance and clinical oversight to 425 registered nurses & emergency medical technicians as they provide nursing care to 6,000 patients annually. I supported clinical training platforms; and continuously deployed personnel in support of worldwide aeromedical taskings. I ensured compliance with Air Force & national healthcare standards; oversaw squadron's staff development, medical readiness, and Process Improvement programs. I was the Board Certified CNS consultant and mentor for 96 critical care nurses. I collaborated with Squadron, Group, and Medical Wing resources to plan and deliver comprehensive patient nursing care. Set the standards within critical care, participated in leadership activities and developed staff, patient, and family education. In addition, I was a member of the Critical Care Working Group, Nursing Standards & Practice Work Group, Medical Wing Documentation Group, and Resuscitation
Who is responsible for the Bhopal accident? How should blame be apportioned among parties involved, including Union Carbide corporation, UCIL, plant workers, governments in India or others?
The cause for the American Airlines 191 crash was the stall with its roll to the left. The stall was created by the left wing outboard leading edge slat retraction. This caused the loss of stall warning alarms and the failure of the slat indication systems that were supposed to indicate changes between the left and right wings and inboard-outboard slats. The maintenance group caused damage to the left wing and engine number one separation. The improper maintenance procedures led to the separation of the engine and pylon assembly.
The Colgan Air Flight 3407 was a very interesting case to look at. On February 12, 2009, at 10:17 pm, flight 3407 crashed at a house in New York after the pilots experience a stall. Flight 3407 was scheduled to fly from Newark, New Jersey to Buffalo, New York. The NTSB reported the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) revealed some discrepancies both pilots were experience. The first officer did not have any experience with icing condition but icing was one of the reasons the plane went into a stall. On the other hand, the captain had some experience flying in icing condition. The captain was experiencing fatigue, which indeed, made him unfit to recover from a stall. With that in mind, the Human Factor Analysis Classification System (HFACS) will give insight of some errors both pilots made.

When someone thinks of problems plaguing the world, nuclear energy is not the first thing that comes to peoples minds these days.[1]Nuclear power was once deemed the new energy of the future.[2]However, numerous nuclear power plant accidents around the world put a damper on that notion.The United States considers itself one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world, but 103 nuclear reactors currently operating within her borders, one was bound to fail sometime or another.[3]
” 60 weeks of training gives these elite soldiers the skills to excel overseas”(navy.com). The time spent training helps keeps these boys alive when they are overseas. The EOD class has a pt (physical training) test to even be looked at to be admitted into the school you must complete: a 500 yd swim in under 12 minutes, minimum of 50 pushups in 2 minutes, minimum of 5o situps in 2 minutes, minimum of 6 pull ups in 2 minutes and, run 1.5 miles in under 12 minutes. But these are just the minimums and the cadets are expected to do much better than these
Travelling at a speed twice that of sound might seem to be something futuristic; however, this feat has already been achieved almost 40 years ago by the world’s only supersonic passenger aircraft-The Concorde. Concorde brought a revolution in the aviation industry by operating transatlantic flights in less than four hours. The slick and elegant aircraft with one of the most sophisticated engineering was one of the most coveted aircrafts of its time. However, this was all destined to end when Air France Flight 4590 was involved in a tragic disaster just outside the city of Paris on July 25, 2000. The crash killed 113 people, but more disastrous was its impact. The belief and confidence people had with Concorde gradually started to fade, and finally Concorde was grounded after two and a half years of the crash. Official reports state that the main cause of the crash was a piece of metal dropped by a Continental aircraft that flew moments before Concorde, but, over the last decade, the report has met a lot of criticism, and many alternative hypotheses have thus been proposed.
When I stepped into the large neatly organized white polished plane, I never though something would go wrong. I woke up and found myself on an extremely hot bright sunny desert island filled with shiny soft bright green palm trees containing rough bright yellow hard felt juicy apples. The simple strong plane I was in earlier shattered into little pieces of broken glass and metal when crashing onto the wet slimy coffee colored sand and burning with red orange colored flames. After my realization to this heart throbbing incident I began to run pressing my eight inch footsteps into the wet squishy slimy light brown sand looking in every direction with my wide open eyes filled with confusion in search of other survivors. After finding four other survivors we began moving our small petite weak legs fifty inches from the painful incident. Reaching our destination which was a tiny space filled with dark shade blocking the extreme heat coming from the bright blue sky, I felt my eyelids slowly moving down my light colored hazel eyes and found myself in a dream. I was awakened the next day from a grumbling noise coming from my empty stomach.
Manchester United Plane Crash in 1958 Introduction. My talk is about the Manchester United Plane Crash in 1958 and about the people who died on the plane. Before the Crash: What is the difference? In the early 50’s, Manchester United built itself up under the. watchful eye of Sir Matt Busby through a successful youth. training policy.
I took one last look at my home before I boarded the shuttle. The earth was once a lush green planet filled with various plants and animals. Advancements in technology led to factories producing excessive amounts of smog and carbon dioxide. None of the crops were capable of growing under these conditions and livestock started dying at a rapid rate. The president passed two laws based on the dwindling environment. The first law was the relocation of all citizens to a military compound for safety. The second law forced a selected group of twenty people to start a colony on the moon. I am one of those twenty people.
This drove me to strive and make “A”s in college and do everything right in ROTC by volunteering to do this and that. Then, in pilot training, I was motivated to do as best I could because I wanted to be one of the top grads so I could be selected to fly fighters. I wasn’t necessarily motivated by service to my country. No one was. We didn’t acknowledge such thoughts. However, once I was a fighter pilot, I was driven by the pursuit of excellence (Process goals) to meet personal objectives (Performance Goals). First, it was to attain a certain number of flight hours so I could be selected to upgrade to a flight lead. To upgrade to such a position, I needed to be technically proficient and tactically sound with the ability to lead and follow. I needed to be able to brief any subject about the jet from the electrical system to the engine. I needed to know every Soviet threat system and how to react to it if engaged and how to kill it, too. I had to have the skill to manage my own cockpit and also keep track of any wingmen since they would be my responsibility. I had to be physically fit to withstand the G forces which meant hitting the gym every day. It was more complex than I can write about in this paper, but it definitely was a process with performance and outcome goals. Regardless, 14 hour days were not enough and I was required to spend every bit of my free
