  One of the challenges a Student Pilot faces in those early flight lessons is managing communications with various common airport frequencies like Clearance, ground and tower. Once you move forward in your aviation career, and hopefully onto faster and higher altitude flying under IFR conditions you begging to get acquainted with new and important actors of Air Traffic Control (ATC) and realize how this complex system works, handling a multitude of aircrafts safely 24hrs a day. ATC works diligently providing a crucial service to Airmen, assisting them in the different phases of their flight, and it’s considered by Pilots as an External Resource that benefits operational safety. After a Pilots copies the required Clearance, taxi instructions, and takes off while in contact with the Airport’s Tower frequency, there are two main entities he will contact during his departure, enroute and approach phase of the flight: Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) and Terminal Radar Ap...

  THE AIRPORT AND THE ENVIRONMENT. The influence that aircraft noise has on the people in the surrounding area is the aspect of the airport's environmental footprint that, in my view, causes airport management the most cause for worry. There is a sort of environmental pollution known as noise pollution, which is brought on by the presence of noise that is either loud or constant (Airport Noise Compatibility Planning Information | Federal Aviation Administration, 2021). A disturbed night's sleep, elevated levels of stress and anxiety, and even an increased risk of cardiovascular disease are just some of the adverse health impacts that may be caused by aircraft noise. This may be harmful to the health of people and other animals, in addition to being harmful to the environment. Noise pollution may originate from many sources, including airplanes, vehicles on the road, construction work, and industrial processes and operations. For example, it may also be brought on by elements...

  The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 was passed into law as a direct reaction to a string of high-profile air mishaps that cast doubt on the reliability of the country's aviation system at the time. The Act established the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with the responsibility of ensuring that the nation's civil aviation system is secure (Cavazos & Washington 2018). The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is in charge of establishing and implementing safety standards for all elements of civil aviation, including but not limited to the construction and maintenance of aircraft as well as air traffic management. The role of government in aviation has been, and continues to be, a controversial subject (Lawrence, 2015). In addition, the agency is responsible for carrying out research and developing new technologies to enhance civil aviation safety. The passage of the Federal Aviation Act in 1958 was the first time the United States feder...

Human Factors In Aviation  When we take into account that almost 70 percent of commercial aviation airplane accidents are found to be primarily caused by human error it is not surprising that the term “Human Factors” comes up constantly in the Aviation industry. Human Factors studies the relationship between people and their activities by systematically applying human sciences, focusing in the aviation industry, Human Factors also takes into account the how aviation personnel interact with themselves, their equipment and environment. Perhaps one of the most vital team-based activity that is performed in aviation is found in flight operations of large commercial airplanes that are certified to be flown multi-Crew, besides a few exceptions almost every jet powered airplane is flown by a minimum crew consisting of a Pilot and a Co Pilot or First Officer. It is in these operations were a clear leadership and a healthy team work environment is paramount to achieve efficient Crew Res...
