American’s investigators concluded that the captain of the Boeing 757 apparently thought he had entered the coordinates for the intended destination, Cali. But on most South American aeronautical charts, the one-letter code for Cali is the same as the one for Bogota, 132 miles in the opposite direction. The coordinates for Bogota directed the plane toward the mountain, according to a letter by Cecil Ewell, American’s chief pilot and vice president for flight. The codes for Bogota and Cali are different in most computer databases, Ewell said. American spokesman John Hotard confirmed that Ewell’s letter, first reported in the Dallas Morning News, is being delivered this week to all of the airline’s pilots to warn them of the coding problem.
Armed Pilots 1 A LOOK AT THE ARGUMENT OF ARMING PILOTS A look at the argument of arming airline pilots D M Aeronautical Science for Management AGMT 202 Arming Pilots 2 ABSTRACT: This paper gives both sides to the argument about pilots carrying guns in the cockpits. While on the one hand the pilots would be able to protect themselves and their passengers if they carried guns, on the other hand there are those pilots that have never had gun training and do not care to handle guns. When they became pilots they did not take into consideration that they might have to become 'soldiers of the air' as well. Armed pilots 3 A look at the argument of arming airline pilots On the subject of airline safety, I feel that the consideration of guns being carried by pilots is astoundingly important. There has been much controversy as to whether pilots should be allowed to carry guns in the cockpit.
It may be distrust of the government or it really is just the human mind wanting answers. The movie started off with giving a timeline of events leading up to that day. It had mentioned that on February 28, 1998, “Global Hawk, Raytheon's Unmanned-aircraft-vehicle, completes its first flight over Edwards Air Force Base in California, at an altitude of 32000 feet, cruising altitude for a commercial jetliner.” But what exactly does this have to do with the hijacking of the planes? They also mention that put-options were put on different airline’s stocks. Usually with stocks if one person makes a bet, another person will follow that person’s example and it will snowball into many people doing the same exact thing the first person did.
The Ethic Challenge in Public Service by Carol W. Lewis I witness this challenge every day. One of my duties is to balance the checkbooks for the State run group homes. Every day I answer questions about what the monies can and can’t be used for and some days it can challenge my personal ethics. I recently answered a simple question, “We have a client that needs to get his hair cut. Can we use our checking account to pay for it?” The straight cut and dry answer is no, or so says the policy.
Cuban leader, Fidel Castro agreed to have the missiles stationed there. The US had no plan in place because they believed that the Soviets would never install nuclear missiles in Cuba. The EXCOMM quickly discussed several possible courses of action, over the period of thirteen days. One of the options was, military invasion: to take full force over Cuba and overthrow Fidel Castro. The second option was, an air strike: use the US Air Force to finish off all the nuclear missile locations.
Analysis and Application: Legal Rights Afforded to the Accused By Kimberly Fleetwood CJ227: Criminal Procedure January 31, 2012 The police were not required to take any procedural steps even though John had made incriminating statements. If they had made the decision to question him on what he was saying, then they would have been obligated to read him his Miranda Rights. It would seem to me though that the police would not stop him to ask questions. The statements he was making would have surely been admissible in court. The only thing the officers needed to do was to take John’s statement down in their report.

I’m not keeping track of time due to the rush of rescheduling everything. Finally I look at my watch and notice it is 7:00pm, no sight of Gwen, my client. I finally go to the ticket counter and inquire. Was told she was not on the flight, at that point I panicked. Rushed back to my car to call Gwen and see if she just missed her flight, and would be on the next one.

EMAS: The Answer to the Runway Overrun Issue John R. Boyett Jr. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract Runway overruns have been and continue to be a problem for the airline industry. To avoid runway overruns the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that commercial service airports, regulated under Part 139 safety rules and federally obligated, have a standard runway safety area where possible. The FAA requires the runway safety area to be 500 feet wide and 1,000 feet beyond the end of every runway. Most airports were built before this requirement was in place and this left many airports out of regulations because of encroachment on the airport. The ESCO Corporation developed the Engineered Arresting Systems (EMAS) to provide airports with an answer to the runway overrun problem.
