ABSTRACT: In order to improve the reliability of aviation airline network, this paper presents an empirical analysis on the airline network structure of an aviation company in China from the perspective of complex network, and the calculation result of the statistical features and degree distribution of the network, proves that the network is a small-world network and a scale-free network. Four...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to extend previous examinations of aviation accidents to include specific aircrew, environmental, supervisory, and organizational factors associated with two types of commercial aviation (air carrier and commuter/ on-demand) accidents using the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS). BACKGROUND HFACS is a theoretically based tool for inves...

Aviation terminology and thought processes are commonly applied to medicine. We further propose the adaptation of instrument flight terminology to emergency airway management including the aviation approach plate visual aid and replacement of the term "failed airway" with "missed airway,"

Facilitation, as the term is used in this book, refers to processes by which one member of a group operates to help the group analyze issues, learn from experience, and work as a team to draw conclusions. In aviation settings, the facilitator is typically an instructor, however facilitation requires the instructor to work in ways quite different from those of traditional instruction. The tradit...

The black carbon (BC) burden of the upper troposphere and lowermost stratosphere (UTLS) is investigated with the general circulation model (GCM) ECHAM4. The special focus is the contribution of aircraft emissions to the UTLS BC loading. Previous studies on the role of aircraft emissions in the global BC cycle either neglect BC sources located at the Earth’s surface or simplify the BC cycle by a...

The realization of general aviation Free Flight requires advanced cockpit systems to assist pilots in managing information and decision-making. In this paper, the application of cognitive engineering concepts to cockpit system design for general aviation is discussed. The design of an Aircraft Approach and Landing Assistant is presented as an example of this method. Its purpose is to enhance pi...

The number of light aircraft (less than 5,700) in the developing world is small compared to those in the West, and little information on aviation accidents is readily available from developing countries. Papua New Guinea, enjoys a priviledged position, since aviation was introduced early and much of the country was opened through flying. During the period of Australian trusteeship until indepen...

Noise is defined as "unwanted sound." Aircraft noise is one, if not the most detrimental environmental effect of aviation. It can cause community annoyance, disrupt sleep, adversely affect academic performance of children, and could increase the risk for cardiovascular disease of people living in the vicinity of airports. In some airports, noise constrains air traffic growth. This consensus pap...
