This activity involves pointing at target objects by stretching your arm and stating out loud, “Such and such is OK” at important points in the work in order to proceed with work safely and correctly.
Protecting the Circadian Rhythm
Like breath is the basis of life, the circadian rhythm is the basis for all day time activities. Human body is controlled by an internal clock which puts the body to sleep and wakes the body with the sun rise.
“Inboard Flap Asymmetry B757 cannot recover?”
American Airlines got their first few Boeing 757 aircrafts in 1990’s. The check airmen got their toys, the flight simulator to play around with. During the play session on one of the full flight simulators, they discovered that when a failure of Inboard Flap Asymmetry was simulated by pushing a button on the instructor control […]

‘A’ of attitude is NOT ‘B’ of behaviour in Competency Based Training
While attitude has not been defined in either ICAO or IATA documents, both have the behavioural indicators as a measure of the performance standard. Behaviour and attitude are not the same and the incorrect indicator is being used to populate the database and give feed back.

Method for managing aircraft using airspace managing system: Guest Author, Gurprit Singh
While writing the traffic electronically on this prototype at the same time it not only double checks all the parameters a controller writes that too simultaneously correct for level corrections or route clearances errors if any and which is the best part of the invention as its give’s enhancement to safety.
Toxic Cabin air, the cause of neurological problems
long-term–low-level (LTLL) contamination, such as that to which aircrew are exposed, has been shown to be more injurious than short-term acute exposure. Aircrew breathe
the low-level toxicity every minute of their working days. When an aircraft lands the passengers disembark, but the crew turn around and do it all over again, time and time again. Perhaps there has too much emphasis on fume events, while the real damage is being done by LTLL.
