The mission of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is to provide the safest and most efficient aerospace system in the world. As the FAA plans and develops the Next Generation (NextGen) Air Transportation System, quantitative risk assessments can help evaluate the impacts of new technologies and changed procedures. The FAA needs to ensure that NextGen changes that could potentially increa...

SUMMARY: PHMSA is amending the Hazardous Materials Regulations to maintain alignment with international standards by incorporating various amendments, including changes to proper shipping names, hazard classes, packing groups, special provisions, packaging authorizations, air transport limited quantities, and vessel stowage requirements. These revisions are necessary to harmonize the Hazardous ...

in this paper a new problem of three stage disassembly-assembly scheduling is introduced and reviewed. this problem, which was arisen from the aviation industry characteristics, is a generalization of the two stage assembly scheduling problem. products (helicopters) in the aviation industry return to assembler for annual overhaul repair services. in the first stage helicopters are disassembled ...

Improvements to current air traffic management technologies and techniques are required to move toward the next generation air transportation system (NextGen). The Tower Flight Data Manager (TFDM) is a prototype air traffic control system consisting of the: (1) Flight Data Manager (FDM) facilitating interaction with electronic flight data, (2) Tower Information Display System (TIDS) providing e...

This project proposes an accident cost estimation model in the aviation industry in Nigeria. The model takes into consideration the probability of accidents and the cost of the potential consequences. Potential consequences of accidents are classified as human severity, property damage, and economic implications. The three classes of accidents identified in this study were fatal, serious, and m...

BACKGROUND Debate regarding the merits of screening pilots for sleep apnea has been stimulated by recently issued guidance from the Federal Aviation Administration. It has long been appreciated that sleep apnea results in poor quality sleep, and that poor quality sleep is associated with daytime fatigue and decrements in performance. However, the relationship between sleep apnea and poor perfor...

Because of the urgency to respond quickly to large-scale aviation catastrophes such as the 9/11 attacks, National Airspace Security collaboration requires tightly-orchestrated activities across a number of organizations in multiple locations. Today this coordination is by voice only, using the conference call known as the Federal Aviation Agency’s Domestic Events Network. Besides a lack of digi...
