Web Support link: http://www.secureav.com/AMTMCC-v1.0.htm Summary: Aviation Technicians Model Code of Conduct My internet research led to an excellent web-resource designed to provide aviation workplaces with a template for tailoring their own work place Code of Conduct. In the introduction, it describes the code of conduct as a tool, if this tool implemented correctly will provide a path of career advancements for AMTs. The principles of the conduct of conduct are broken into seven sections covering everything from general responsibilities, training, use of technology, advancements to mention a few. Farther down on the model the benefits of the code of conduct are layout in detail. I would sum up the benefits as simple providing AMT with the sense of a higher purpose or morals that will benefit any work place environment. If you were still convinced, the principles are broke down even further. For example, under section I General responsibilities of Aviation Maintenance Technicians it lists nine things AMTs should do. The list starts with “make safety their highest prior” what boss or supervise could disagree with that. With emphasizes on safety, excellence, risk management, and responsibility...

...Issues Aviation supports 1.7 million Indian jobs and contributes 0.5% of India's GDP. And that is just the beginning. It could do much more. Connectivity is the backbone of today's global economy--bringing people to business, tourists to vacation destinations and products to markets. All are important to India's development. On an average, Indians travel by plane once in ten years, while Americans travel 1.8 times each year. If Indians travelled as frequently as Americans, the market would be 2.1 billion travelers instead of today's 120 million. But instead of flourishing and delivering economic benefits, India's aviation industry is struggling. The twin shocks of skyrocketing oil prices followed by the global financial crisis hit in 2008-just as India was gearing up for high speed aviation growth. Four years later, the sector's recovery is hampered by high taxes, insufficient infrastructure, high costs and restrictive investment policies. AAI against Kolkata, Chennai airport privatisation Airports Authority of India (AAI) is opposed to the government's proposal of privatising the Kolkata and Chennai airports, its highest revenue earners, arguing that it is well equipped to manage the facilities, and such decisions can merely undermine the public sector. Criticising Planning Commission's logic that slow commercial decision-making at AAI was the reason for privatisation of these two airports, senior officials at the PSU expressed fear about the state-owned company's...

...Air Transportation Management The Impact of General Aviation General aviation is considered one of the three main segments of the aviation market. The other two being commercial aviation and military aviation. General aviation operations are anything other than military and common carriage. Without general aviation, the industry would suffer in countless ways, possibly even collapse. General aviation includes, literally, every other civilian job except for the few related to the airline sector. What I consider the most important ones are aerial firefighting, flight instructing, pipeline patrol, corporate, bush piloting, agricultural, and test piloting. Flight instructing is one of the most important jobs that there is in the aviation industry. It is where pilots obtain the proper training and skills necessary to be safe and adequate. I believe flight instructing is most likely the most underrated and underpaid job in the aviation industry. Without this job, all pilots would have to come from the military, which would cause a severe shortage of pilots. Pipeline patrol requires pilots to fly aircraft at very low altitudes over varying terrain to observe pipelines and check for any problems or vandalism within the lines. Another type of this job is for pilots to patrol the U.S. borders in search for illegal activities. Without either of these general aviation jobs, more resources and man hours would be required to check oil pipelines and secure our borders. Corporate flying...

...asset is defined as identifiable non-monetary asset that has no physical form which is controlled by the entity and is expected to generate future economic benefits (Jaroslav and Alois, n.d.) . The definition of assets has identified 3 key characteristics. Firstly, the intangible asset has to be identifiable. The controlled airspace met the identifiable criterion as it arises from legal rights. According to Gray (n.d.), airspace should be a free territory and has a status of ‘no-man's land’. However, CAA has been given the rights by the federal government to undertake all aviation related functions. CAA issue license which the aircraft must have to pay for the license in order to utilize the airspace. Secondly, an intangible asset has to provide future economic benefits, which mean there should be cash flow whether directly or indirectly, to the entity. To achieve this goal, the entity has to employ its assets to produce goods and service to create value and benefits in order to satisfy customers’ needs and wants. The controlled airspace (CAS) established has value that is able to satisfy the needs and wants of customers as the purpose of CAS is to protect the aircraft during various phases of flight. It provides efficient flow of traffic besides facilitate a safe flight (Civil Aviation Authority, n.d.). According to Civil Aviation Authority (n.d.), the aircraft must be in receipt with Air Traffic Control (ATC) service if they wish to operate with CAS. Due to the needs and wants of...

...The Open Skies, An Unfair Advantage The Open Skies agreements between the United States and other countries is intended to expand international flights by eliminating governmental interference in commercial airline decisions. The goal is to free the air carrier from government control so they may provide more affordable, convenient and efficient air service to consumers. The end result is to promote increase travel, generate new economic revenue for United States (U.S.) cities and provide better economic growth for air carriers. But, with virtually unlimited access to the U.S. market through more than 100 Open Skies agreements the U.S. has signed with other countries. Foreign air carriers have unfair advantage in the open market over U.S. air carriers. Therefore, limiting those types of flights to a fifty percent increase of their current market share into the U.S. will help level the playing field and protect U.S. interests. The Joint Committee delegation will argue that unlimited flights flown into the U.S. is beneficial to all parties. It is their contention that unlimited access is essential to all partners’ markets and their profitability (U.S.-EU). The goal, in this open market, is to make it possible for all air carriers to offer the traveling public competitive pricing and services. The Joint Committee has taken the necessary steps by working with each member’s government to insure that no one air carrier has an unfair advantage. Many believe they have the right to fly...

...competition in the airline industry, and to give all airlines from ASEAN the scope to compete on intra ASEAN routes. Open Sky will also give airlines extra flexibility over their route development. Issues which need to be considered include: How well Open Sky will work in ASEAN? Will markets be competitive enough? Will there be shifts in hub location? Will anti competitive strategies affect operation? And will there be instability in the industry? 2. Experience of Open Skies Elsewhere There are many Open Skies bilateral agreements, and a few regional agreements. Few regional Open Skies agreements have led to substantial liberalisation or integration. The exception is Europe - Open Skies in Europe has meant the formation of a single aviation market. Significantly, this arrangement did not come about as a result of countries negotiating an open skies agreement - rather it was imposed on them by a central authority, as a consequence of the Treaty they signed when joining the Community. Open Skies have worked well overall in Europe. There has not been excessive instability, there has been a moderate degree of restructuring, and there has been significantly more competition, especially from the low cost carriers which now have an important share of the market. 3. Policy Background Within...

Sovde4 CICERO, 0349 Oslo, Norway and Emma Irvine5 University of Reading, UK Mitigation of aviation climate impact is one strategic goal spelled out for a durable development of air traffic. Operational measures to identify climate-optimal aircraft trajectories by air traffic management (ATM) are one option to reduce climate impact. We present results from a comprehensive approach for climate-optimized flight planning applied for a case study the North Atlantic Flight corridor (NAFC) performed within the collaborative project REACT4C (Reducing Emissions from Aviation by Changing Trajectories for the benefit of Climate) funded under the European FP7 programme. Ultimate goal was to identify maximum mitigation gain (in climate impact) for a specific investment, hence minimal marginal mitigation costs. For this purpose consecutively those flights trajectories options are selected which offer the highest mitigation potential taking into account five archetypical weather patterns in NAFC, and traffic samples in eastbound and westbound both direction. Using a concept of 4-dimensional climate cost functions integrated into a simulation system for operational planning...

...Postal monopoly and competition in the civil aviation In the early 20th century, monopoly organization is mainly in the sectors of heavy industry such as coal, steel and oil. However, today has expanded the scope of the monopoly rules to light industry, transportation, commerce, agriculture and various service sectors and other fields. Monopoly is an industry controlled by who is the only producer of a good that has no close substitutes. Monopolistic industry in general are related to most people and the industry which closely related to public utilities, such as telecommunications, postal services, water, electricity, gas, railways and aviation. These industries penetrate into all aspects of society, therefore, their prices high and low cost that concerns society as a whole. The overall efficiency of these industries directly related to other industry's ability to compete internationally. This report will first indicate and analyses the case, then it will use the knowledge to resolute the special fact of monopoly and competition in the United State. People can set postal services, sounds like a joke, but in the United States, there are not only private postal, but also the private prison. Companies which in the United States are generally known for high efficiency and good service, but the postal service is an exception.
