As we become increasingly dependent on GPS for many position, navigation, and time (PNT) applications, it becomes increasingly important that we have an alternate means of obtaining those capabilities. This is especially important in critical applications such as aviation. As part of the ongoing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Loran evaluation, the system is being assessed for its ability...

The aim of the study was to variability somatotype according Heath-Carter scheme in patients with alimentary-dependent pathology and possibility its bioimpedance assessment. Material methods. 104 (26 men 78 women) were examined clinic Federal State Budgetary Institution Nutrition Biotechnology. Patients underwent anthropometric studies accordance accepted standard Institute Anthropology M.V. Lo...

The use of driving simulators in clinical trials is an interesting new development for testing the effects of drugs on impairment. Medscape interviewed Gary G. Kay, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Neurology, Georgetown University School of Medicine and President, Cognitive Research Corporation, concerning his company's simulator -the CRC MiniSimTM – and how it is being used in clinical ...

For many years, NASA Langley Research Center has cooperated with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in research about software engineering methods for aerospace applications. Recent research has focused on software aspects of the FAA’s certification process. In this paper, the results of the Streamlining Software Aspects of Certification (SSAC) program are examined to provide insight int...

Acknowledgements We would like to acknowledge Nick Miller of HMMH for his contributions to the FAA Aircraft Noise Impacts Research Roadmap Workshops and preparing this compilation of Information Briefs. We would also like to acknowledge the following people for submitting the Information Briefs. These researchers are subject matter experts on the topics presented and have been involved in the a...

The analysis of the language legislation of all 85 subjects of the Russian Federation shows complete heterogeneity and diversity. Common legal guidelines in Federal law do not exist, because Federal legislation is obsolete and is largely whitespace and conflict. The subjects of the Russian Federation, on whose territory different ethnic groups, both large and indigenous, historically live, solv...

The Federal Aviation Administration since 1962 has trained nonmilitary government-employed flightcrews and civilian pilots in aspects of altitude and its effects on the human body. The standard military altitude chamber flight profile was not used and the reasons are explained. Two different chamber profiles were used for a 10-year period and both included a rapid decompression, but the altitud...

This paper describes an enhanced weather processor for the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR9) that will include Doppler wind estimation for the detection of low altitude wind shear, scan-to-scan tracking to provide estimates of the speed and direction of storm movement and suppression of spurious weather reports currently generated by the ASR-9’s six-level weath...

Using data that combines information from the Federal Aviation Administration, the RAND Corporation and a newly developed database on global terrorist activity, we are able to examine trends in 1,101 attempted aerial hijackings that occurred around the world from 1931 to 2003. We have especially complete information for 828 for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), grant nu...

Federal Aviation Regulations state that systems must be designed so that the occurrence of any single failure condition which would prevent the continued safe flight and landing of the airplane is extremely improbable [1], where extremely improbable is quantitatively defined as less than 10 per flight hour. Qualitatively, such event is not anticipated to occur in the entire fleet operational li...
