Pilot Studies on Hourly ounding
Every community has a set of conventions that help govern both how people behave and what beliefs they hold. The conventions that are important to a group (which may also be called the culture of a profession or organization) mean that it can be very difficult to bring about change in the way that individuals act. This is no less true for medical professionals than for any other group; indeed, medical professionals may be even more resistant to change than are others since the consequences of their actions can mean life or death. However, sometimes it is in the best interests of patients (as well as of the medical professionals themselves) that they change the way in which they work.

The most important development in the culture of medicine that has occurred in the last decade is a shift to a greater and greater reliance on evidence-based….

, 1999, p. 315). This point is also made by Doyle (2002), who reports that, "In fact, airline companies take pilot fatigue very seriously because they also have to contend with jet-lagged pilots" (p. 128).
Indeed, the introduction of these sophisticated aircraft, replete with a vast array of displays and controls, can in and of itself result in increased pilot fatigue. According to Mouloua and Parasuraman (1996), "Increasing task demands, such as increasing the number of displays that the pilot must monitor, also increases workload, particularly during demanding flight segments. Pilot fatigue also increases workload because it can reduce the capacity of the pilot to respond to task demands in a timely or appropriate manner" (p. 120). The authors provide a useful schematic to help illustrate how these processes play out in real-world settings by introducing the factors of pilot skill, feedback and system reliability and how these factors can affect….

For example, uiz (2006) points out that, "The role that EAPs play in attenuating these potentially disruptive issues is difficult to assess because companies zealously guard results of their programs from the public eye" (46).
Despite these constraints, though, it is possible to gauge the effectiveness of Mobil's EAP initiatives based on the typical costs savings realized by similarly situated enterprises. For instance, uiz adds that, "EAP providers contend that their services are a critical component in lowering the cost of health care and in bolstering productivity. EAPs can reduce absenteeism and tardiness by 10% and potentially boost productivity by as much as 25%" (46). In this regard, what is known about the company is that success rates between 70% and 85% have been reported by Mobil concerning the effectiveness of its employee assistance programs that have been targeted at reducing the incidence of substance abuse by company employees (Starr….

Pilots and Guns
Attention getter -- I am on a jet flying high above the Atlantic Ocean and the flight seems fine. Then, I hear a gunshot coming from the pilot's cabin. Instantly, the plane depressurizes and I suddenly wake up in a cold sweat. Wow, what a dream. Good thing no one is allowed to carry a gun on a plane. Wait, was it really a dream? This report tries to answer the question of whether airline pilots should be allowed to carry guns.

The thesis of the report can be stated in two ways:

Airline pilots have a responsibility to defend them selves, protect their passengers and maintain control of their airplane, but they should not be allowed to carry guns on flights

Since airline pilots have a responsibility to defend them selves, protect their passengers and maintain control of their airplane, they should be allowed to carry guns but only if….

FAA Pilot Rest Requirements
On January 15, 2009, Captain Chesley Sullenberger successfully landed U.S. Airways Flight 1549, a scheduled commercial passenger flight from LaGuardia Airport in New York City to Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, Charlotte, North Carolina, onto the waters of the Hudson River after the plane, an Airbus A320-214, had been struck by a flock of birds which caused an immediate and complete loss of thrust in both engines. Had Capt. Sullenberger, and the crew of Flight 1549, not responded as they did, in a uniformly calm and cool manner while adhering to the tenets FAA safety regulations, there's a decent chance that all of the 155 occupants aboard the Airbus 320 would not be with us today, and that this story of heroism, in the face of looming tragedy, would have a different ending (Sturcke, 2009).

On February 12, 2009, in the wake of the glee and excitement that followed….

Palm Pilots as Instructional Tools in the Classroom
This paper presents a look at Palm Pilots as instructional tools in the classroom. The writer explores Palm Pilots and how they can improve the learning process for the students who use them. The writer also discusses the best model for such use and describes how many students are benefiting from using them in the classroom. There were five sources used to complete this paper.

The technological boom of the past four decades has taken mankind to heights never before imagined possible. In addition the American public has been demanding improvements in the educational system currently in place. Palm Pilots are technical tools that were not invented for the improvement of education, but have turned out to be exactly that. Palm Pilots are being used in classrooms to improve learning through their many features and the new lessons that students are being expected to….

71), and female pilots became indispensable for getting the air "ships" where they needed to go.
omen with strong ambition and patriotic goals began fervently taking flying lessons to join the ferry crews. Yvonne Pateman finished her seventy-five hours of required flying time to become eligible for the program, but had never learned how to drive a car (illenz p.72).

Two groups of women pilots became formally recognized by the U.S. government, although not part of the military. The omen's Airforce Service Pilots, or ASPS, were trained by Army personnel at the U.S. Army base in Sweetwater, Texas, and included the Air Transport Command, or ATC, directed by Nancy Love.

The ASPS began flying more dangerous missions, participating in training and test piloting. Pilot Yvonne Pateman recalled,

They were also called upon to fly planes with targets so that troops could practice shooting at them. There were casualties, both during the training and in….

Arming Pilots
After almost four years, the United States is still feeling the effects of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The ar in Iraq continues. Despite massive security measures that have been put in place since September 11, Americans continue to be vulnerable to terrorist attack.

This paper argues that allowing trained pilots to carry firearms will help protect air travelers from similar hijackings. More important, armed pilots would constitute an important layer in the fight to keep the United States secure from terrorists and other enemies.

First of all, the move to allow pilots to carry firearms has widespread support. In 2002, for example, the Lower House voted 310-113 in favor of a bill allowing commercial pilots to signed up for a firearms training program (Sowell, 45). Polls conducted among members of the general public have shown strong support for this measure. Furthermore, many pilots have voiced a strong interest in such….

Obviously, those situations include survivors of ditches and crashes, but equally important is the degree to which cell phones offer solutions to flight emergencies.
Salven acknowledges that cell phone use of this nature is specifically prohibited by FCC restrictions but relates the views of an FCC spokesman who relates that.".. The FCC isn't aware of any enforcement action having been taken against pilots using cell phones in emergency situations during the past 30 years." Salven describes situations such as cell phone communications between pilot and controllers necessitated by emergency conservation (i.e. shutdown) of electrical power caused by acute ammeter discharge in flight.

Equipment, Flight Hours, and ule Priority Ambiguity:

The other components of emergency communications relate to the relative capability of equipment to prevent emergencies (particularly on the ground), various factors capable of reducing the efficiency of pilot responses to emergencies, and the inherent ambiguity and even apparent contradictions in FAA regulations.….

history of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) and its achievements throughout its seventy years. Safety regulations, issues of aviation concern, and milestones in union negotiations are discussed.
THE AIR LINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION

ith the recent terrorist attacks in the United States, airline safety has been of top concern. Six months ago airport security was seldom discussed except perhaps in an article tucked in a newspaper or magazine. Now it's a top story on the evening news every night. It makes us wonder if anyone has been thinking of our safety until now.

The Airline Pilots Association has always been thinking of our safety. From metal detectors in airports to the 'fasten seat belt' signs on airliners, the APLA was responsible.

The ALPA is regarded as the leader in safety issues concerning all areas of aviation

The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) not only helps with safety issues and investigations, but is solely devoted….

Fly a PlaneThere are many things to consider when it comes to how to become an airplane pilot. The requirements for a person who wants to become a pilot vary depending on the country, but in general you must be at least 18 years old, have a valid medical certificate, and pass a written and practical exam. The exams are another consideration: a pilot must pass include a written exam, an oral exam, and a practical exam. Each exam tests your knowledge of safety, navigation, communication, and aeronautical principles. Additionally, to become a pilot, you must complete a minimum of 40 hours of flight time and pass the FAA-approved knowledge and skills tests. You will also study aviation regulations, meteorology, aircraft performance, navigation, and human factors. In all it typically takes 18-24 months to complete the required training and become a pilot. And, depending on the pilots license, they can….

This can be seen as a deep-rooted linguistic and psychological phenomenon, and simple fixes for it that do not require new nomenclature are not forth coming.
Another key to effective communication even giving the added time it takes in crisis situations, is acknowledgement of the receipt of communication (Krieger, 2005). This is most effective when information is repeated back to demonstrate full understanding and acceptance of the communication, "otherwise, the information [is] "put out there" but remained unrecognized as input by both parties" (Krieger, 2005). Though this step complicates communication in the short run, it is enormously beneficial in making communication more effective in the long run, and can help save lives because of this fact. Though communication is key to success in most ventures, it is absolutely essential in the….

Histotoxic Hypoxia refers to hypoxia specifically caused by toxins in the blood that interfere with the ability of hemoglobin to absorb oxygen even in the presence of sufficient quantities and at normal atmospheric pressure (Jepperson, 2007; USDOT,

2003). In that regard, alcohol is the most likely toxin to affect pilots, but other poisonous substances like cyanide and certain narcotics and other medications (including some sold over-the-counter) can also cause histotoxic hypoxia. Finally, Stagnant Hypoxia refers to insufficient oxygen absorption caused by underlying circulatory problems that reduce blood flow, and therefore, the efficient transport of oxygen, even where the quality of air, atmospheric conditions, and oxygen absorption by hemoglobin are normal (Jepperson,

2007; USDOT, 2003).

Signs and Symptoms of Altitude-Induced Hypoxia:

One of the most dangerous aspects of all forms of hypoxia is that its onset is not noticed by the pilot. Another danger is that while hypoxia severely reduces physical and cognitive capabilities necessary….

The more that your questions are descriptive or explanatory the more that the case study method will be relevant;
How should I select the case to be studied?": According to Yin: "you need sufficient access to the potential data, whether involving people to be interviewed documents or records to be reviewed, or observations to be made in the 'field'. Given such access to more than a single candidate, you should choose the one(s) that best illuminate(s) your research questions. Absent such access, you should consider changing your research questions, hopefully leading to new candidates to which you do have access."

I am studying a school. What is my case: Is it the teachers? The reading program? The whole school?: Yin states: "The specific definition of your case again depends upon your research question(s). The least desirable question is to want to know "everything that happened." Your literature review should help lead….

The development of private airports assists the government to use the limited resources in improving other domains including health services, social services and other services provided by the government. In France, privatization is also encouraged to effectively manage airports and to provide health and social services to its people.
Conclusion

Airport privatization has been promoted all over the world. In United States, the pending FAA reauthorization to privatize airports can help in generating revenues and at the same time, allowing the government to use limited resources on improving health and social services. Furthermore, privatization would assist in improving and managing operations and improving the overall structure of the organization.

Firms meet the challenge of technological change by redesigning their innovation ecosystems in several key ways. This approach involves a strategic overhaul of their internal and external operations, relationships, and culture to foster innovation and adaptability. Here's how they do it:

Embracing Open Innovation: Moving away from solely in-house R&D, firms are increasingly embracing open innovation. This involves collaborating with external entities like startups, academic institutions, and other companies to source new ideas, technologies, and methodologies. This collaboration can take various forms, including joint ventures, partnerships, and innovation hubs.

Investing in Digital Transformation: Firms are investing heavily in digital technologies such as....

Thesis statement: If mental health workers responded to emergency calls alongside law enforcement personnel, individuals in crisis situations would receive more appropriate and effective care, ultimately reducing the likelihood of escalation and promoting better long-term mental health outcomes.
To support this thesis, the research could delve into the current challenges faced by law enforcement in responding to mental health crises, such as lack of training, limited resources, and potential escalation of situations. By comparing the outcomes of crisis interventions involving mental health workers versus only law enforcement, the thesis could demonstrate the benefits of a more holistic and compassionate approach to....
