7.2 The Airport and the Environment

 



I believe that the environmental impact which should be of the most concern with the airport managers would be the traffic mismanagement and how the people doesn't follow the effective traffic rules out of the airport causing a lot of pollution as so many taxis, cabs and other private/public vehicles lie down there to pick up or drop a single individual. This is one of the major issues as it solely is one of the reasons because of which the noise pollution, air pollution and traffic is increased causing problem to not only the people but also the environment around getting to many toxic gas pollutants in the air.

This is one of the concerns of the airport manager because airport is well located at that area and if the traffic outside is not managed properly, the same airport would cause violations to the environmental rules and regulations of the country to cause the least possible pollution and harm to the environment (Aviation, 2021).

One of the strategies that could be used to tackle and handle the same problem of airport mismanagement of the traffic by the airport manager is the use or carpool and many airport especially associated and issued cars which could be used by the customers. The airports could make an online service for its passengers and people travelling where the people coming from same city or going to the same city or state back could use the airport services at a cost paid and could travel at a bus or carpool something that would help in ensuring the least traffic and also least possible pollutions accordingly as per the same consequence. This would also help to solve the problem of noise pollution as well.

5.3 Team-Based Human Factors Challenges

  An accident analysis was performed to determine the cause of the error after an incident occurred. In the modern aviation industry, it is also used to analyze databases of past accidents to prevent accidents. Many models are used not only for accident investigations but also for educational purposes. Under the International Civil Aviation Convention, if a contracted state aircraft is at risk of accidents or any other incident in another contracting state, the hazardous state will initiate an investigation. This convention defines the rights and responsibilities of the state. The reasoning model, commonly referred to as the Swiss cheese model, is based on the methodology of why organizations must work together to ensure safe and effective operations. From the pilots' point of view, in order to maintain a safe flight operation, all human and mechanical elements must work effectively in the system. In the causal model, the hollow represents weakness or failure. These holes...

3.2 Aircraft Systems and Flight

Image
aircraft electrical system has three primary components: a battery, a generator or alternator, and an electrical bus to distribute electrical power. The spark plugs in certified piston aircraft engines are powered by engine-driven magnetos, so no additional electrical power is required for the engine to run. Indeed, some basic aircraft like the Piper J–3  Cub  or The Maule don’t even have an electrical system.  For most General Aviation airplane to operate under Visual Flight Rules under 14 CFR Part 91 most airplane may not need electrical system for Day operations however at night. The Federal Aviation Adminstration does require any US registered plane to be equiped with certain equipments that may require an electric system. For light GA airplane this electrical system may be very simple such as an Alternator or Generator that generate electricity and power the battery.  The battery provides power to start the engine, which then turns the alternator or generator, s...

8.2 Air Traffic Control Entities

Image
  Air Control and Ground Control are the two main types of air traffic control entities. If we look at these two entities, air control is mainly responsible for the management of active runway surfaces and thus has to ensure the taking off and landing of the aircraft safely and while doing so, air controller also monitors whether the runway is safe for the landing or not and in case the controller finds that the runway is not safe then the controller will ask the aircraft to rearrange the landing. There will be direct control between the air controller and ground control and if there happens anything that can affect the taxiway, then it will be conveyed by the air controller to the ground controller. Similarly, the ground controller is also responsible for the management of the runways and to maximize the efficiency of the runways. Irrespective of the responsibilities of both air controller and ground controller, these both entities are vital in order to ensure the safety and e...
