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
On February 12, 2009, Continental Connection flight 3407 operating by a Colgan Air Flight 3407, was a scheduled passenger flight from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), New Jersey to Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF), New York.

Northwest Florida State College database and other reliable aviation sources to back my argument. IV. Preview: This speech will first address the background and problems that have arisen from the Colgan Air Act, which have led to a massive pilot shortage. It will then entail a solution in reforming the Colgan Air Act, which will provide different methods of training that will produce even better instruction and thus, more safety. Finally, I will discuss the benefits of such a reform before wrapping up
consequences. Those decisions and the consequences that may result from them are very important to the ethics of the aviation industry. It can be seen in ethical egoism, ethical altruism, what consequentialism is, and how it would apply to Colgan Air flight 3407. A way of thinking about how to make decisions with consequences is ethical egoism. As the name suggests ethical egoism is all about yourself. The way that Mark Waymack put it in the book called “Ethical issues in aviation” is” everyone should
English I Honors Pilot Fatigue: Issues of Flying Tired On February 12th of 2009, Colgan Airlines flight 3407 operated for Continental Airlines crashed in Buffalo, New York in a rural neighborhood. This incident caused forty-five lives on the aircraft and one life on the ground to be lost due to pilot fatigue. The aircraft stalled on approach due to icing. Capt. Marvin Renslow and F.O.

Colgan Air Flight 3407, a Dash-8, crashed in Buffalo, New York on February 12, 2009, due to an unrecoverable stall in icing conditions. This particular crash has been the main topic in many classrooms and discussions over the years due to the different elements and human errors that contributed to the accident. After being cleared for the instrument approach into Buffalo, the aircraft began pitching and rolling. During this time, the aircraft entered a nose-high position, which was so steep, that
Personally I have been on a jump seat after flying numerous nights in a row and was unable to keep my eyes open on final approach. Had I been one of the pilots flying I would have been a danger to the flight, even though I felt fine before the flight had departed. Many pilots find themselves in the same situation as it is very difficult to predict when fatigue may take over and affect your judgement. I have also looked over at another crew member to find them asleep, likely
personally, couldn’t agree more. There’s always room for improvement, and there’s always things regulatory agencies could do to better promote safety. American Airlines Flight 191 is a perfect example of how regulatory agencies react to accidents to be more proactive in their duty to promote safety. On takeoff of American Airlines Flight 191, the left engine and pylon separated causing uncommanded retraction of the left wing slats. This resulted in an unidentifiable, asymmetrical stall and ultimately
On February 12, 2009, a Colgan Airlines flight operating as Continental Connection Flight 3407 crashed two miles from the runway in Buffalo, New York, killing all fifty people aboard.. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation that followed stunned the American public and identified the need to closely examine the regulations governing pilot training and pilot rest requirements, with a strong focus on regional airlines (Berard, 2010, 2). Currently, the United States government
