Importance of Ethics in Aviation

Integrating Maintenance and Human Factors in Modern Aviation. The challenges experienced in aviation depends on how  well a company is structured and regardless of size, companies apply all kinds of programs to help manage human error. While human errors can be caused by a lack of experience, knowledge and understanding of the material or system, it could be a direct product of fatigue, stress and other outside distractions that affect communication, decision making affecting technical skills and impacting aviation efficiency.  Human Factors have been a topic for years and statistics continue to support that human factors directly caused and contribute with the majority of aviation accidents (AMTH, 2018). Companies continue to modify and implement programs to mitigate human error but, accidents are a never ending chain. Modern aviation have focused primarily of economic growth and efficiency this combined with globalization impacts directly labor by increasing workload and dec...

TSA LEVELS OF SECURITY  The Transportation Safety Adminiatration (TSA)   faces one of the most challenging jobs in the nation, their main duty is to screen all passenger and personnel with a variety of security measures and training initiatives, including threat recognition and security management. These strategies focus on individual threats and its main purpose is to mitigate, reduce and stop an imminent threat. However, security still a concern, all protocols are establish and TSA continues to fight and prevent vulnerabilities (TSA, 2019).  Threat recognition is a challenge the agency faces daily, unfortunately the is not an immediate solution for everything, a collaborative process for threat recognition performs a test which consists on undercover agents that try to find the techniques used by terrorists, they attempt to pass threat objects through passengers and  baggage screening systems, and access secure airport areas. The specifics of these tests we co...

Cessna Citation CJ3 Hydraulic Systems and Operation. The CJ3 business jet is a very reliable aircraft, It’s the perfect combination of range, speed and operating economics (Cessna 2004). One of the most important system of this aircraft is the hydraulic system. The Hydraulic system permits the application of force by converting a volume of fluid flow into pressure on a hydraulic piston motor, in other words hydraulic pressure is converted into force to move a component of the aircraft. The hydraulic systems of the CJ3 is defined as open center hydraulic system which means that the hydraulic fluid is constantly circulating in the system at low pressure and it increases its pressure during the operation of the landing gear, speed breaks and flaps. The break system use a separate independent hydraulic system but, the same type of hydraulic fluid is used.  One of the additional benefits of an open center hydraulic system is that this low pressure greatly reduces the quantity of hydraul...

The Operating Environment and Aircraft Performance We face many threats in the operating environment, some of them are more challenging than others but, the environmental factors that presents the biggest threat are the ones affecting loss of control In-Flight.   Even with meteorologists forecasting convective activity, frontal movements, jet streams, revolving storms and all the environment phenomena that occurs in our atmosphere we continue to have aircraft disasters in which the crew lost control on a routine flight. Recommendations are made after every accident and companies rely on solid training, threat recognition and management. However, based on a study conducted by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) loss of control In-Flight accounted for 45% of all fatal accidents between 2011-2015.  Having explored the hazardous environment I believe that each individual factors present an individual environmental threats that needs individual attention and understa...

The importance of ethics in the work place is what defines the person while performing his/her duties. You may encounter challenges in which your ethical behavior need to be demonstrated, to me, that is the time in which you need establish a standard to operate operate day to day. That is what is sets to be a person apart is how these challenges are approached, by demonstrating honesty, integrity, respect, perseverance and servant leadership, each and every day.
