چکیده

The goal of a safety management system is to monitor sensors, identify hazards and mitigate risk to the extent possible. In this paper, we present a novel approach called Flight Safety Assessment and Management (FSAM) to assess key quantitative and qualitative feedback parameters for loss of control (LOC) risk. Decision making logic is specified as a set of hierarchical timed automata models. Logic is customized to phase of flight as well as the control authority and modes. States are classified as nominal, moderate risk and high risk, enabling FSAM to issue warnings and override actions as necessary. FSAM logic for the takeoff phase of flight is presented in this paper.

Methodology and software platform for multi-layer causal modeling

This paper introduces an integrated framework and software platform that uses a three layer approach to modeling complex systems. The multi-layer PRA approach implemented in IRIS (Integrated Risk Information System) combines the power of Event Sequence Diagrams and Fault Trees for modeling risk scenarios and system risks and hazards, with the flexibility of Bayesian Belief Networks for modeling...

Reprint of: Trouble on takeoff: Crude oil on feathers reduces escape performance of shorebirds.

The ability to takeoff quickly and accelerate away from predators is crucial to bird survival. Crude oil can disrupt the fine structure and function of feathers, and here we tested for the first time how small amounts of oil on the trailing edges of the wings and tail of Western sandpipers (Calidris mauri) affected takeoff flight performance. In oiled birds, the distance travelled during the fi...

Reliability and validity of a wireless microelectromechanicals based system (keimove™) for measuring vertical jumping performance.

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of a microelectromechanicals (MEMs) based system (Keimove™) in measuring flight time and takeoff velocity during a counter-movement jump (CMJ). As criterion reference, data of a high- speed camera (HSC) and a force-platform (FP) synchronized with a linear position transducer (LPT) was used. Thirty professional soccer...

Muscle function during takeoff and landing flight in the pigeon (Columba livia).

This study explored the muscle strain and activation patterns of several key flight muscles of the pigeon (Columba livia) during takeoff and landing flight. Using electromyography (EMG) to measure muscle activation, and sonomicrometry to quantify muscle strain, we evaluated the muscle function patterns of the pectoralis, biceps, humerotriceps and scapulotriceps as pigeons flew between two perch...

Wing and body kinematics of takeoff and landing flight in the pigeon (Columba livia).

Takeoff and landing are critical phases in a flight. To better understand the functional importance of the kinematic adjustments birds use to execute these flight modes, we studied the wing and body movements of pigeons (Columba livia) during short-distance free-flights between two perches. The greatest accelerations were observed during the second wingbeat of takeoff. The wings were responsibl...
