Immediately after the 9/11 terrorists attacks, there was an overwhelming need to review and change the security procedures that were in place at that time. Since then, there have been several major security measures introduced and implemented across the country. What is clearly evident is that the USFG DOES NOT need to substantially reduce security measures in all U.S. airports. In fact, the USFG should increase its role in security measures. Some security experts and the media have scrutinized and even lambasted current security measures in U.S. airports.
What is the e-Enabled Advantage? How did it link to the company’s strategy? The e-Enabled Advantage is the infrastructure necessary to e-Enabled enterprise is a complex system of systems that will channel the wealth of information generated by airplane avionics, airline operations centers, airport and air traffic managers, weather services, and regulatory agencies directly to the people who use the information, at the instant when that information is most useful. A new generation of visualization tools and decision aids will enable Boeing to create robust flight plans, revise and optimize schedules in real time, and all but eliminate unscheduled maintenance (http://www.boeing.com/commercial/aviationservices/brochures/eEnabled_Advantage.pdf) 3. What advantages would such an approach give Boeing?
This type of flight simulator, delivers best navigational system that could help pilots with realistic filed based flight training [26]. Aeronautical training devices usually comprised on various applications that have been encoded by aerospace specialist with special assistance of IT experts. These experts used to encrypt all these flight functionalities along with digital visual cues that could make the indoor environment, perfect for pilots’ training. Additionally, pilots also need to have usage experience for the specifically installed simulator instruments [27]. That is why, lots of safety exercises needed that can make the concerned pilots, get use to the productive simulator
Bargaining Agreements: American Airlines In order to plan for a better future for American Airlines’ stakeholders, it is necessary to evaluate past and present labor-management relationships, including labor disputes, assessing how these stakeholders have assumed and directed power in negotiating the terms of contracts. Upon analyzing the collective mindsets and actions of the members of each stakeholder party, this paper evaluates the various roles of authority each stakeholder group maintains internally and experiences externally by looking at the histories and laws that govern these groups as predictors of future bargaining events, which in turn suggests that while it may be possible to sustain a final, solid collective bargaining agreement, it may not be probable. The long-term effects of a standing or binding agreement on the culture of labor-management relationships and American Airlines as a whole would primarily depend on financial costs incurred by the stakeholders. Mitchell, Agle, and Wood (1997) propose that there are classifications of stakeholders that are based on the levels of power that influence the legitimacy of a stakeholder’s relationship with an organization (p. 854). The results of this evaluation define which stakeholders are fundamental to decision-making.
AIRFIELD REFUELING OPERATION The purpose of this essay is to educate the reader, not only the importance of proper airfield refueling operations but also to outline the responsibilities of the Petroleum Supply Specialist. Prior to issuing fuel to any aircraft there are mandatory steps and precautionary measures that have to be taken. Without taking the proper precautions someone could get hurt or there could be a fuel spill. Prior to any fuel operation the fuel handler has to ensure that he or she is wearing the Proper Protective Equipment (PPE) along with his or her team. While handling fuel all personnel must wear protective gloves, eye protection and hearing protection.
Travelling with my team is definitely less stressful then when I do it myself. Linda, our team manager, basically takes care of all the details, I just basically have to wait in the check-in line show my ID and get onto the airplane. I step through the automatic door to see my team-mates waiting in a ridiculously long line. Our plane is scheduled to leave in an hour but I swear there
All levels of operation for any aviation company should be properly trained in human factors and safety management in order to prevent an occurrence such as the Swiss cheese model from allowing numerous factors and failures on all level to align in such a way as to allow catastrophic accident. Furthermore, this process should be ongoing and regular for safety and human factors management is not something that should be trained up on once and then forgotten about for the rest of the career. Safety management itself is an ongoing process that changes every year with new discoveries and changes in policies following the implementation of new procedures after an accident in which procedure has been determined as the cause. Yet another thing to remember is the fact that training it's self is only a part of the safety system that should be in place for there should also be ongoing recording of data and reporting an oversight that allows training instructors to look back on the overall system in place prior to new training in order to determine what areas are lacking or where there might be weaknesses in the existing System in need of revisiting and Reformation. Safety management itself is not just training but also reporting and oversight and must be led by the management in
Due to the recent terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, airports along with airlines want their customers to feel safe. Due to my time in Service in The United States Army I have flown numerous times and have witness many types of security from airport to airport. They are all pretty much the same from officers outside making sure people are following the No Curbside parking to personal and property being x-rayed and searched. Yes there are also times when one will witness acts of anger/rage from pissed off passengers and security doing their duty handling/prosecuting those whom seem to be a possible threat to the airline/airport. I enter the airport and seat myself in front of the ticket counters.
Recent debates and news concerning air travel has created a deep-seated fear of this mode of transport, and more and more people are being made aware of the consequences of having firm airport security. Busy and popular airports and international airlines try to come up with the best measures to make sure that air travel is safe and reliable as well as quick and convenient, but people still have solid reservations and opinions about this modern day concern. There was a time when security checks at airports were merely a formality. Metal detecting equipment and body searches were minimal and people didn’t need to worry about their right to privacy, and more specifically, being asked to take their clothes of during their travels. Airports were not security-free but at the same time they did not feel like entrances to maximum security prisons.
What issues should be evaluated/analyzed before implementing a PFC? Chapter #5: For your selected airport: Identify the airspace classification surrounding the airport Identify the Victor Airways Jet Ways and TERP for the airport Identify/locate the air traffic facilities serving the airport (tower and TRACON) Identify if any Special Use Airspace exists in proximity to the airport. Chapter 7: Identify the terminal/gate geometry for the airport you have selected for your term paper. Identify any positive or negative consequences for the airport from this design? Chapter 9: What is your airport’s overall
