Airline Operations
The Airline Certification Process And Dot Reporting Regulations
Airline certification is a complex process that involves a series of steps an airline company should follow and meet its requirements for the certification process. The certification provides the airline company with the authority to carry out its operations in the global markets with minimal limitations. The certification process begins with filling in the application form in the air carrier authority. The information provided when filling the form includes supporting information, confidentiality treatment, service, and filing. The application is then processed by the carrier authority staff where they make decisions based on the information provided by the company and their credibility. Upon the acceptance by the staff, evidence requirements are submitted by the organization applying for the certificate. Evidence requirements include information such as fitness test, corporate ownership and structure, technical ability and management expertise of the organization, and operating plans of the organization.
The evidence information to be provided to the authority also includes compliance disposition, accident plans, passenger manifest information, and limits of liability,...
Similarly, the company should submit continuing fitness information that includes operating limits of the organization, progress of the first year, dormancy, and transfer of authority. The airline organization will be certified to operate fully in the local and international markets upon meeting the above requirements (United & National, 1998).
Department of Transport (DOT) has developed reporting regulations that affect the running of activities and reporting of the performance of the airline companies significantly. The report regulations released by the DOT dictates that the airline organizations should disclose their points of sale and fee information for the basic ancillary services. The reporting regulations also want the airline companies to disclose ancillary services related information such as their global distribution systems and ticket agents. In addition, the reporting regulations of the DOT stipulate that the airline organizations should include in their reports, incidents that involve loss, death, or injury of an animal when being transported by air. Such regulation aims at providing the consumers with a clear picture of the safety of the airline record when it comes to the safety of their animals. Similarly,…

With the threat of terrorism remaining so strong in this country it is vital to find new and better ways to protect people and to keep them safe from harm as much as is humanly and technologically possible. Scope of the Study The scope of this particular study is very broad and far-reaching, because there are so many people who are being affected by it now and will be affected by
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. A survey administered to a sample population of senior aviation
Aviation Security after 911 In recent times, airport and aviation security have become an important aspect of aviation industry. Significant changes in airport and aviation security have been witnessed after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Notable changes include new airport security procedures, implementation of advanced screening and scanning technologies. New airport security measures include arrival of passengers two hours before their flight if traveling in domestic flight and random screening of luggage.
Aviation Safety PO involves applying critical thinking to particular topics of aviation safety and security which are used to support a project or comprehensive research question. Aviation safety includes the analysis and evaluation of any and all safety and security concepts, techniques, procedures including SMS, airfield and other aviation facility security, accident investigation, operational safety, Federal Air Marshall Program, terrorism prevention as they influence and relate to the project or
Transportation Security and Intrusiveness of Security Screenings America's land, seaways, and air transportation systems are structured in such a manner that enhances efficiency and enables easy access, the two features that also at the same time make these transportation systems susceptible to attacks. The expenses and difficulty of protecting the entire transportation systems from attacks raises a critical issue for legislators and other policymakers in the government: in that how much
Airport Security Design and Implementation The objective of this work in writing is to devise a plan for setting up a state-of-the-art airport security system. This work will discuss: (1) The security force: selection, organization and training; (2) Airport lay-out: suggest a design which maximizes security management efficiency and passenger flow while minimizing discomfort and delay to air travelers; (3) the screening system step-by-step detailing the process, the equipment used and
