...Human Factors involved in the crash of ValuJet Flight 592 A Human Factors Case Study Submitted to the Worldwide Campus In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of Course SFTY 320 Human Factors in Aviation Safety Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University October 2013 Abstract On May 11, 1996, Flight 592 departed from Miami. It had pushed back from gate after a delay of 1 hour and 4 minutes due to mechanical problems. There were 105 passengers on board, mainly from Florida and Georgia, as well as a crew of two pilots and three flight attendants, bringing the total number of people on board to 110. At 2:04 pm, the DC-9 took off from runway 9L and began a normal climb. 10 minutes later the aircraft crashed into the Florida everglades with all hands on board lost. This Case Study will analyze and evaluate all contributing factors, with focus on the human factors, and propose solutions that would have kept the Liveware element from causing the accident. Intro The crash of ValuJet 592 was an accident that gripped the nation. In a decade of low priced airfare, ValuJet was a house hold name for providing economical flights. The loss of flight 592 raised nationwide concerns over the airline industry; from maintenance practices, to management pitfalls among all of the low cost air carriers. 592’s crash also rocked the entire airline industry, and ultimately caused a loss of confidence by the majority of the public in economical airlines.

...PM 592 Project Cost and Schedule Control Executive Summary After reviewing the project costs, schedules, and earned values I have realized that there are some concerns with the schedule and costs. I have found that there are some tasks that have put the project behind schedule and over budget. After reviewing the project closely and making the adjustments by requesting and adding additional percentage for resources to the builder, plumber, electrician, hvac, and the ferris wheel supplier it will bring the project back on track and under budget. Which if you review the revised schedule you will find that the new schedule will still allow the theme park to open on time and within budget. Schedule 1 [pic] Performance Analysis Based on the Earned Value Management I have found that there are a couple stages behind schedule and once complete will end up over budget. Phase 1.5 Joists and Roof Deck is currently at 76% completion and is behind schedule, according to the charts once this is complete will end up finishing late and over budget. The responsibility of this task is on the Builder. Phase 1.7 Rough Carpentry is currently at 65% completion and also is behind schedule, this phase also will end up finishing late and over budget. Once again this task responsibility is on the Builder. Phase 1.11 Elevator is currently at 76% completion and also is behind schedule, this phase also will end up finishing late and over budget.

...Course: PM 592 Assignment: Course Project CP-1 Executive Summary Totally Amused, Inc, is a hotel and water theme park innovator which burst into the amusement industry only 10 years ago and has made several big splashes with successful property/facility introductions in multiple states since then. However, the amusement park industry is extremely competitive, so each new venue is built bigger and better than the next to maximize customer enjoyment and park ticket sales. Totally Amused is looking to take its current indoor and outdoor water park locations to the next level, venturing into an area that is not all too familiar. Management is considering a big move into the indoor theme park market. Although water parks and traditional theme parks have their similarities, they have many differences. The project consists of a new 100,000 sq. ft. building which will annex onto one side of an existing building. The indoor facility will feature a first-of-its-kind two-level go kart track, a six-story Ferris wheel (enclosed in glass), 24 lanes of bowling, mini golf, a four-story rope course, and scores of arcade games. Although this new venture sounds like a walk in the park, an important decision is at hand! The project has reached the 50% scheduled completion stage and a control evaluation is being undertaken to analyze the performance of the project and to recommend corrective measures to support the continuation of the project. The project, which commenced on April 4, 2008...

...would you do if you had a great idea for a new product, but couldn’t come up with the cash to get the business off the ground? Small businesses often cannot attract investors. Nor can they obtain traditional debt financing through bank loans or bond issuances. Instead, they often resort to unusual, and costly, forms of nontraditional financing. Such was the case for Wilbert Murdock. Murdock grew up in a New York housing project, and always had great ambitions. This ambitious spirit led him into some business ventures that failed: a medical diagnostic tool, a device to eliminate carpal-tunnel syndrome, custom-designed sneakers, and a device to keep people from falling asleep while driving. 444 JWCL165_c10_444-505.qxd 7/20/09 4:09 PM Page 445 Another idea was computerized golf clubs that analyze a golfer’s swing...
