According to Hancock and Flach, though, improving sensitivity to local or global information requires specialized training and experience. In this regard, Hancock and Flach advise that, "The workup period on a carrier flight deck can be viewed as an opportunity to build and to explore the (information) environment of the workspace. It develops a form of experiential knowledge through legitimate peripheral participation" (p. 441). Such training can be provided through on-the-job experiences or through specialized simulation scenarios (Hancock & Flach, 1999). Conclusion

The research indicated that a carrier flight deck is an extremely hazardous working environment. The...

...

The research also showed that failures in these systems can be catastrophic, making the need for ongoing specialized on-the-job and simulated training all the more important.

Flight Deck Human-Machine Interface - "What to Expect in the Future" This paper will analyze the issues associated with the flight deck human-machine interface. The data for this research will be collected through a number of secondary sources. Quantitative analysis of the collected data will be performed on the basis of frequency and types of accidents and the causes of accidents that occurred after the introduction of this technology. Qualitative analysis

CRM Flight crew resource management is the science of training flight crews to interact and communicate in a highly authoritarian environment while at the same time making use of the intelligence and professional resources of all the members of a flight crew. In the cockpit, the captain is in unquestionable control of the airplane because he is ultimately responsible for all aspects of the flight, including hardware, equipment and personnel on

Security on Commercial Flights Describe two (2) lapses in pre-flight security that contributed to the ease of the hijacking operation on September 11, 2001 Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States of America evaluated the security of the commercial Airline Industry. Major security lapses gave way for terrorists to board commercial flights, which finally led to the aircrafts' hijacking and demise. The first lapse that contributed to terrorist attack

On the hand, some plans may be slow to respond to the pilot's commands; complicating the piloting process, much like a sports car, for example, that under steers or a truck that over steers (Personal Communication, 2010). Bay contends that training on more than one plane of a particular model would prove to be a positive practice for airlines to implement. Bay asserts that the following questions need to be

1. Influence of Air Force New Equipment Development on Operation 2. Introduction Having been incepted in 1947, the United States Air Force (USAF) is effectively the country’s youngest military formation. It is important to note, from the onset, that USAF came to be as a consequence of the need to ensure that the U.S. has a decisive advantage as far as the character of warfare is concerned. This is more so the
