POINTING

Prevent inadvertent slide deployment by learning from Japanese Bullet Train Drivers: mindFly

Pointing and calling Flight Safety Australia In 2014, the International Air Transportation Association estimated that inadvertent slide deployment costs the airline industry more than $20 million each year. What can aviation learn from the bullet train driver. With the horrible exception of the Amagasaki crash of 2005, which killed 107 people, Japanese railways are notably safe, with one passenger death per 51.4 billion passenger kilometres. The high-speed Shinkansen network, which is now six lines with trains running at up to 320 km/h (170 kt), has carried more than 10 billion passengers without a single passenger death from derailment or collision. In 1994, the Japanese Railway Technical Research Institute assessed pointing and calling in an experiment that asked volunteers to complete a simple, but variable, task. When no special steps were taken to prevent errors, the volunteers made 2.38 errors per 100 actions. Calling or pointing cut this error rate significantly. But the greatest reduction in error to 0.38 errors per 100 actions happened when the volunteers both pointed and called their actions. This combination reduced mistakes by almost 85 per cent.

Plausible scientific theory of MH370 location: mindFly

Video giving detailed explanation Just after midnight on March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines' flight MH370, a Boeing 777-200ER with 239 persons on board, took off from Kuala Lumpur on its way to Beijing. One hour later, it disappeared from air traffic controllers' radar screens and was reported missing. One year later, the Malaysian authorities published an interim report. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) and the American company Ocean Infinity then used the report to guide their search campaigns in 2017 and 2018, but all three proved to be fruitless. In July 2018, the Malaysian authorities published the final report and the new Malaysian government promised the families of passengers that it would continue to seek the truth, but without further sea searches. A number of conspiracy theories have emerged regarding the extraordinary disappearance of MH370. Recently, the French Gendarmerie des Transports reported that it is continuing its investigations under the authority of an examining magistrate, as part of a judicial inquiry obtained by a relative of French passengers.

DRONE

Now everything can Simply Fly: India’s digital sky mindFly

Soon you might see your food delivery by a Drone rather than the army of boys zipping on bikes, weaving through the traffic.  You could order a drone cab and travel to the destination straight as the crow flies and control your personal drone with the touch on the screen of your personal device. This is the level of freedom and facility that is being planned to be rolled out for the Indian public use. There is a need to keep it Whippy, Flippy and Quiet.
