Ethics in Aviation

       There are several entities in air traffic control but the two I will be talking about  are the  Approach and Departure  Co ntrol and  Air Route Traffic Control . Approach/Departure control has their first duty of dealing with the traffic that wants to land at the airport and depart it.  Once departed, the controller can hand the aircraft off  to the next control facility if they are in IFR conditions or if they are in VFR and want flight following to their destination.  When an aircraft wishes to land ,  the  controller's  duty is to make sure that it is clear for them to land an d keep the approach clear for the aircraft first in line. They  also need to make sure that the pilots know information such as wind, altimeter settings, and visibility .  Once the aircraft has landed and cleared the runway, they can get transferred to ground control to taxi to th eir destination.        The next entity ARTCC is very essential and is one of the busiest  duties to have.  It has 22 fa

  There are multiple hazards that exists in aviation. A big environmental  impact is wildlife and how it has caused trouble for pilots. There have been  tons of wildlife strikes where animals have collided with airplanes which cause things like broken windows, en gine failures and major structural damage. The damage depends on many different factors but this en vironmental impact is still very hazardous.  I have also seen things such as a fox, rabbit and even a dog run on a runway and almost  get hit by an airplane. This would also cause major damage to the animal and could be worse for the airplane.   One way to try and reduce this issue is to design safer air routes that will try to avoid wildlife areas at certain altitudes (AERTEC ,  2019).  Some routes may have planes depart at low altitudes that are too close to wildlife. If they could be able to avoid that area and have more time to make a safe climb then it could help avo id any collisions. AERTEC (2019) states that  tests are b

     The legislative act that I have chosen is The Air Commerce Act of 1926. I chose this because of the impact that it had in aviation. The act established federal regulations regarding aircraft, airmen, navigational facilities and the establishment of air traffic regulations (Air, n.d.). Air (n.d.) states, aircraft were required to be inspected for airworthiness, and were required to have markings placed on the outside of the aircraft for identification. It is very important that air traffic regulations were established because it creates a safer means of flying. Aircraft requiring to be inspected for airworthiness is also critical because of all the many ways that aircraft can have issues or bring them. If they need to be inspected then the rate and chances that an issue appears will decrease.    The act also had new airports built, along with new regulations on altitude separation (Air, n.d.). Aircraft separation was made for a safe difference in altitude and if any issue was to ap

       Human factors are important because they can have effects during different  moments and they could be catastrophic. Human factors include emoti on, fatigue, stress, and other disturbances and interruptions that can make a bad outcome.  PHAK (2016) states that human factors contribute to many aviation accidents and have caused more than 70 percent. Human factors  can   affect  multiple groups like pilots, maintenance, and air traffic control.  There are many forms of human factors and people need to be prepared and trained to face these trials during their life and know how to react or handle them c orrectly.       I have heard a lot of storie s that have to do with hazardous attitudes. There are many pilots and mechanics who have a macho or anti-authority attitude towards a lot of people because they always  want to feel like they know exactly what they are doing. They never want help because they think that they are the big ones  on the job and never need help while also thinki
