Air Traffic Control Entities     Air traffic control (ATC) have the significant role to provide and maintain the safety of aviation. It is essential to control and manage the effective movement of aircraft safely and adequately. The services are often provided by the ground-based traffic controllers staffs (Strohmeier et al., 2019). There are various evidence-based practices which are implemented to manage the aircraft safety, however, there are ongoing new strategies which will help in enhancing the safety of aviation.      Based on the true event, Boston controllers who were successful in preventing the landing errors. The advance technology “new runway safety technology” has been effective in identifying the error of two aircraft lined up with wrong surfaces was identified and imposed quicker actions. The incorrect alignment, wrong-surface landings and related aspects are identified as the major hazard in aviation. The new advancement in technology and equipm...

    The Airport and the Environment         Funding authorization for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) programs expired in FY2007's end. During this current process of reauthorization, methods for addressing every environmental impact associated with airport expansion as well as operations, are being debated. The issue is crucial to different stakeholders, especially those whose property and health values might be affected by these impacts (Greer, Rakas & Horvath, 2020). Such concerns of different community members, along with tribal, local, and state agencies regarding the environmental impact, have led to delays and cancellation of a few airport expansion projects. To address such issues, airports might be needed to implement projects which will minimize every environmental impact of all operations. In addition, a few such projects also qualify for federal funding (Santa et al., 2020). Funds might be used on projects to minimiz...

 The Airline Industry Consolidation Act of 1992                The airline industry has been reformed by the Airline Industry Consolidation Act of 1992. This act has been a significant contributor that has enabled the extension of networks. For this to take place and enable the extension of their services, boost market shares, and lower their costs, the act authorized airlines to merge, create alliances, and enter into code-sharing arrangements (Peters 2006). This made airlines more effective and competitive, which increased competition and brought down ticket rates. The Act also permitted airlines to form joint ventures in which they could pool resources including people, maintenance facilities, and aircraft. Through merging big airlines, the employees have a big say in potential mergers than in the past. Due to these cost- and efficiency-cutting measures, airlines were able to boost their profitability and of...

  As we can see from the official website of Boeing, it has been clearly stated that around 80 percent of the total number of air crashes that occur all across the world are caused by human errors; this not only includes the pilots but also other ground staff such as the Air traffic controllers, maintenance officials as well other mechanics and engineers. The rest 20 percent, mainly caused by faulty machines and sudden weather. The records before the year 1908 were utterly opposite to the current records. The most outstanding example of such an event was the crash of Asiana flight 214 on July 2013. This was also a Boeing 777 flight that crashed, injuring around 200 people and 3 casualties (Ekstrand 2022). According to the National Transportation Safety Board investigative report, it was found that the crash was caused by pilot fatigue that had reduced the cognitive ability to judge and evaluate things. This situation eventually led him to misjudge the approach, which made it diffic...

Transportation Security Administration Threat Terrorism incident compromises security at the airport. When a passenger books a reservation, the name is checked into TSA state to urge the security to flight amenities, the first line of defense to confirm recognized or supposed terrorist does not walk into the airport or while ensuring the traveler’s privacy (Stewart & Mueller, 2017) . Maintaining the information for travelers is the key to ensuring the safety of the American people by keeping the information and ensuring it's not spread anywhere else. The effectiveness of current mitigation is good since security is achieved in various ways, such as when making a reservation for airline travelers who are being vetted in advance of their flight in contrast to authority watchlists when entering the in-flight point barrier . TSA officers are skilled in behavior recognition to verify traveler, recognition, and boarding permits (Laura A, Albert, 2020) . Credential Authentication T...

       In January 2022, an AS565 Panther crashed due to corrosion in one of the engine components. This extremely rare corrosion within the turbine section caused one of the turbine blades to break off, sparking a fire that quickly spread. Two pilots lost their lives during this tragic event. Is there anything that could have avoided this tragedy?      As a helicopter engine mechanic, I know this type of corrosion would have been tough to detect through scheduled maintenance inspections. This helicopter was scheduled for a manufacturing inspection 250 hours after the accident. In this case, the corrosion would have probably been identified.       Corrosion discrepancies are often overlooked as they will always continue to form. Identifying the type of corrosion and the treatment required definitely makes an impact and could potentially save a life. I highly encourage everyone to take corrosion very seriously in an effort to avoid tr...
