Definition of ethic

1a: a set of moral principles : a theory or system of moral values

When we think about ethics in the Aviation industry safety is the first thing that comes to mind, although it is true that flight operations must aim to mitigate risk and maintain the safety standards closely regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration we must also broaden  our view understanding that the Aviation industry is made of multiple participants and roles not limited to the safe operation of commercial or private airplanes. Ethical issues aren't limited to loss of life or injury, there are also ethical standards such as honesty, responsibility and fulfilling obligations that must be a part of the vision and mission of the companies that make the industry and therefore imprinted in their workforce.(Zuehlke, 2005).Having an ethical approach to conducting business, being a responsible company that values their employees and it's costumers is key in achieving safety through the practice of ethical standards, setting the example for all members of the aviation industry whether they are employees within the industry or costumers. I share the idea that professionalism paired with a vision of moral ethical standards is a perfect recipe to achieve more efficient and safer operations in the aviation industry.(NBAA, 2019)
