Ethics in Aviation

       Impersonation i s an emerging threat in aviation that still happens today.  In the past decade there have been cases of people trying to impersonate a pilot.  One report explains how  a man was arrested for trying to impersonate a pilot. He got passed security but was caught once he boarded the airplane . A boarding agent caught him sitting next to the cockpit of the plane and then called the police.  The imposter had fake identification cards which is why he was able to get passed security easily.       There was another case of a man impersonating ATC. This person managed to get in the tower and  started working but was caught because of a pilot reporting strange behavior from this person.  It was never clear with either of these cases what the impersonators main objectives were.  It is scary to board a flight and know nothing about your pilots.  Their objective could have been to cause harm or death to people by crashing the airplane.  With a fake identity a lack of security

                                             A landing gear failure is nothing to take lightly. It has caused multiple accidents and deaths over the years. There have been many studies on why landing gears fail to extend or retract. Common causes for landing gear failures include improper installation, lack of hydraulic fluid, failure of electrical wire connections, and improperly secured parts. These are just a few examples of the causes of a landing gear failure.   Once the pilot knows that the  airplane's  landing gear cannot  retract , the best thing to do i s return to the airport as soon as possible or the flight and feel of the airplane would be  quite different .   If the landing gear  fails to  extend, then there are a few options to  attempt . One  option  is to  dive   the  air plane and then execute a rapid accent. This will create a big G- l oad f actor  and it makes the landing gear weigh more than usual which could result in forcing the landing gear to extend.  Anot

  What is the worst environmental factor in aviation? Ice is an  environmental  factor that can cause serious problems .  Ice usually starts and builds up on the leading edge or nose of the  airplane. It can also form on the tail and that is a terrible situation.  There are three types of ice such as  clear ,  rime   and mixed.  Clear ice typically forms after the impact of liquid. Once the liquid  makes contact it freezes as a smooth sheet of ice.   Rime  ice forms from smaller  droplets  that rapidly freeze on impact. Rime ice is lighter than  clear ice, but its shape disrupts the aerodynamics. The last type of ice is mixed. This forms when the liquid drops are  varied sizes  and have frost.   It builds up rough ice and interferes with airflow.  When the aerodynamics  changes , there can be more drag and less lift.   If you lose  the lift  and try to increase t he angle of attack to hold altitude you will stall the plane.  Pilots are trained to recover from stalls and reg ain airspee

Ethics are always important wherever you are because they guide everyone to make the world a better place. In business, employees have a responsibility to shape the culture and have an influence in the community. Ethics in aviation are no different. A pilot has the responsibility to keep everyone on the flight safe. Always fly the plane at your best ability and effective awareness. There will be challenges, which means there can be difficult decisions to make. Everyone needs to give their best effort towards the situation and be able to take responsibility for their actions. It is best to learn from mistakes made, then use the lesson to do a better job in the future. Ethics will always be important, essential, and must never been forgotten. There is always something to learn in Aviation no matter how long you fly.  (n.d.).
