When even a small fire can damage systems that the pilot and crew need to fly and land the plane safely, this is a serious and significant issue that should be addressed quickly. Despite this, little has apparently been done regarding this problem.
As for what should be recommended for future research and study, there are two that are the most significant. First, cockpit safety must be further addressed through the use of smoke detectors, circuit breakers that will stop fires and problems from spreading, and other issues that will be helpful for the future. When this problem is not addressed it does not really matter how safe the passenger cabin is, because the safety of the flight and the landing generally depends on the pilot and the crew. The second recommendation...
While this is undoubtedly a costly maneuver, there is more to life than how much something costs, and not using the best and safest materials indicates that the airline industry does not believe that their passengers lives are worth the cost.

Aviation Safety Program Management The average air traveler rarely sees the essence of recognizing the aviation safety regulations in place. People only and often recognize the factors of safety after a horrific accident occurs. Within the daily working schedules in the private and commercial flights, countless lives of innocent passengers depend on the full implementation of the safety regulations. These safety procedures are in place to protect the lives of the
Safety Culture in Aviation Sector Aviation Safety Safety is fundamental in the aviation sector and coupled with the increasing public expectation, aviation safety has become an important aspect. The aviation industry is composed of airports, airlines, air traffic organizations and other aviation service providers and it order for them to realize their aims of delivering services, achieving production output and generating return on investments, safety is central International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO),
Aviation Safety Aviation Security "As the first flights began again on September 15, some crews refused to fly, not confident of airport security. Those who steeled themselves to work entered a strange new workplace. With no guidance from the airlines or the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on how to handle potential future hijackings, flight attendants inventoried galleys for objects they could use as defensive weapons. Shell-shocked passengers sometimes hugged flight attendants as
It may refer matters within its sphere of action to the commission or council. It is responsible for delegating duties to the Council and modifies or revokes the delegated authority. This shows that the Assembly reviews technical, legal, economic, and administrative operations of the organization (Goglia, Halford & Stolzer, 2010). 2.

Aviation Safety: Is flying safer than driving? There has been an ongoing debate regarding the relative safety of flying as opposed to driving over long distances. Many argue that flying is the safer option, since statistics have proven this mode of transport to be one of the safest in the world. On the other hand, flying has been perceived as unsafe because passengers have relatively little chance of survival should mishaps
U.S. statistics indicate that 80% of aviation accidents are due to human errors with 50% due to maintenance human factor problems. Current human factor management programs have not succeeded to the degree desired. Many industries today use performance excellence frameworks such as the Baldrige National Quality Award framework to improve over-all organizational effectiveness, organizational culture and personal learning and growth.
