Abstract Required Navigation Performance (RNP) procedures to closely-spaced parallel runways that include curved approach transitions afford many benefits such as reduced track miles, less fuel burn and emissions, and the potential for routings around noise sensitive areas. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) NextGen program plans to roll out “Established on RNP” (EoR) simultaneous approa...

This study reflects on analyzing different types of information system strategies for doing the Total Quality Management of the Aviation industry. Moreover, in this report it also gives of the proper discussion of different techniques that are used to improve the quality management by doing proper use of Information strategies. Furthermore, it also discusses about different examples of the IS s...

Weather is a significant factor in General Aviation (GA) accidents and fatality rates. Graphical Weather Information Systems (GWISs) for the flight deck are appropriate technologies for mitigating the difficulties GA pilots have with current aviation weather information sources. This paper describes usability evaluations of a prototype GWIS by 12 GA pilots after using the system in flights towa...

This is a study of the relationship between aircraft readiness and spares usage at the squadron level, specifically for the F-4B, CH-53, and TA-4F. The study determines the best combination of aircraft, maintenance man-hours, and spare parts for various budgets. Since the availability of spare parts is a big factor in aircraft readiness, a detailed examination was made of the spare parts resupp...

BACKGROUND Many authors have advocated the diffusion of innovations from other high-risk industries into health care to improve safety. The aviation industry is comparable to health care because of its similarities in (a) the use of technology, (b) the requirement of highly specialized professional teams, and (c) the existence of risk and uncertainties. For almost 20 years, The Rotterdam Eye Ho...

The purpose of this research is to understand the expectations and behaviors of business aviation pilots toward online learning. The authors believe that the company able to offer an integrated, individualized and useful online training experience will gain a significant competitive advantage. To that end, the authors have researched and synthesized studies that are currently available and rela...

The fact that it is possible to compile a list of 6,029 entries pertinent to such a new subject as Aviation Medicine reflects clearly the manner in which the problems presented to medical science by the demands of aviation cut across almost all lines of medical and biological science. The forces of destruction have, of course, but accentuated the need for an understanding of those problems of m...

additional transportation lift requirements, the United States Marine Corps developed a concept that enabled it to modify a commercial container ship to support deployed aviation units. However, a problem soon emerged in that there were too few people who were expert enough to do the unique type of planning required for this ship. Additionally, once someone did develop some expertise, it was ti...

This article deals with a new approach to the airport emergency plans, which are the basic documents and manuals for dealing with events with impact on safety or security. The article describes the identified parts in which the current airport emergency plans do not fulfill their role and which should therefore be considered in the creation of corrective measures. All these issues have been ide...

Safety critical systems, such as aviation systems controlled by software, often have hard real-time requirements. Producing the correct result at the right time is the fundamental goal of such systems. Formally specifying the system functions and the timing requirements is the crucial step towards achieving such a goal. Aviation systems often need to be modijied or upgraded on a regular basis, ...
