...School of Aviation has asked Click Link Below To Buy: http://hwcampus.com/shop/school-of-aviation-has-asked/ MGA’s School of Aviation has asked the students of the School of Information Technology to develop a web-based application that solves 2 needs of their program. • Keep track of maintenance procedures performed on each aircraft • Allows students and instructors to coordinate aircraft for flying Currently they have an application that solves both; but it is expensive. Additionally, the abilities for maintaining aircraft are not as flexible as they want it to be and the customer support has proven unhelpful. Attached is a screenshot of the daily flying schedule; which does work well for their needs. A large drawback in the current maintenance abilities is that it also acts as inventory management. This complicates the procedures and provides a lot of extra overhead to the application they do not desire. A good maintenance ability for them may consist of only 2 parts: 1) a log of procedures performed on each aircraft and 2) display a schedule, similar to the flight schedule, of when procedures will need to be done next for each aircraft. Deliverables • An ERD that solves the problems above • An Access Database that implements the ERD w/ sample data • Saved SQL queries that demonstrate usage of your DB • Documentation/presentation that summarizes your ERD/experiences Deeper Insight to the Flight Schedule Composite Key: PA-28 161 N281HG: • PA –...

...Teach? Why Teach? That is the question that I have been asked before. Some told me that I made more money doing my job than teaching. Some asked me if I would have the patience to deal with 20 to 25 or maybe more little ones in a classroom. I had never cared how much money I would make teaching. As a mother, I learned to have a lot of patience even though I only had two of my own. I just wanted to be that person that inspired a student become someone in life. 2003 Teacher of the Year Helen Elizabeth Rogers (Council of Chief State School Officers, 2014) stated “I believe the teacher must embrace the whole child in caring and positive manner…” I have always wanted to be like my first grade teacher. She made an ever lasting impression in my life. She was a very dedicated and compassionate person. I will never forget that she went to my house every day to take me my homework and daily school work since I was not allowed to go to school when I had the chicken pox. Not only did she drop off my school work, she also went over the new material. When I was allowed to return to school, I was not behind in any of the courses. At first, I wanted to teach 4th or 5th grade students. But in talking to my Algebra high school teacher, my decision changed to become a math teacher. I have always loved math and with the growth of math teacher shortages I decided to teach middle school math with the intention to one day becoming a high school math teacher. I wanted to be able to prepare those students...

...Today, women of the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade continue changing the face of the battlefield by joining the fight as combat aviators, crew chiefs, and helicopter mechanics, showcasing their skills and leadership abilities. Lt. Col. Gail E. Atkins, commander, 122nd Aviation Support Battalion, 82nd CAB, is no stranger to the changing role of women in combat aviation. The Westchester, Pa., native has served for almost 18 years as a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter pilot. “We are seeing an evolution with regard to women in combat roles, in how our skills have evolved and how we are exploiting those skills,” Atkins said. “In aviation, we went through this back in 93’, when the military opened up attack aviation to women, so we are 15 years ahead of the curve in aviation compared to where our other branches are.” Throughout her career, Atkins has seen an increase in number of women who serve alongside her. “I have an all female staff right now and it’s just the way it has worked out. But I think it is indicative of the number of women who are joining the service,” Atkins said. Other women have seen changes in their career fields since joining the Army, including Chief Warrant Officer 2 Laura G. Dye a UH-60M Black Hawk pilot, 2nd Aviation Assault Battalion, 82nd CAB. She began her career eight years ago as an enlisted field artillery soldier. “I always knew I wanted to join the Army but I never had aspirations to be a pilot or work in aviation,” Dye said. “So, when I...

...of information to the unit and it’s soldiers. This is no different for the aviation unit in which I operate. This information can be found in FM 6-01.1, Knowledge Management Operations. It defines knowledge management as the process of enabling knowledge flow to enhance shared understanding, learning, and decision-making. But when the unit was surveyed about their understanding of knowledge management the results were surprising. Out of roughly seventy-two assigned aviators, I surveyed ten. These consisted of two senior aviators, two commissioned officers, two junior Warrant officers out of flight school, and four tracked aviators. When asked about what knowledge management was only the two senior aviators knew what it was, this is because they had attended the Warrant Officer Staff Course where they learned about knowledge management. All the aviators surveyed were surprised to find out that the Army actually had a publication breaking down knowledge management. After explaining what knowledge management was I asked the aviators to give me an example of how knowledge management was being utilized in the unit, all said the same thing; the reading card file. In aviation the dissemination of information is critical to the safe operations of our aircraft, this is done through the use of a reading card file. A reading card file is an electronic file on share drives or a stand-alone computer that has required and critical information for the aviator to review. The reading card...

...evidence to support either of those or any other theory for that matter has ever been established (1). Amelia Earhart (1897-1939) was an American woman aviation pioneer and the finest in woman’s early supporting for equal rights. She was an incredibly intellectual female; entered the seventh grade at the age of twelve, which lead her through her life from childhood to her disappearance on 2 July 1937 (2). Because of her many accomplishments, her capability to always have passion and persistence in aviation and life, and her aptitude to encourage others, Amelia should be admired. The main reason that Amelia should be admired is for her various accomplishments that lead to her success. On October 22, 1922, Amelia set the world record for female pilots at an altitude of 14,000 feet in a Kinner Airster biplane (2). Although she was only a passenger in a plane flown by Wilmer Stutz and Louis Gordon, she became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic nonstop on June 17 and 18, 1928 (3). For accomplishing this flight she was awarded the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross from Congress, the Cross of Knight of the Legion of Honor from the French Government and the Gold Medal of National Geographical Society from President Herbert Hoover (2). Later in 1930, Amelia was voted the first President of the Ninety-Nines, an organization of female pilots that help in supporting and advancing women’s cause in aviation (2)....

...Army Aviation, are we truly a Profession? More Than a Title It would seem on the surface a silly question to ask if Army Aviation is a profession. After all, Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) number 1 is “The Army Profession.” Perhaps, the Army title of “profession” is simply a self-nominated descriptor, like someone giving themselves their own nickname. If we call ourselves professionals than maybe, that is what we will be perceived to be? However, just like self-given nicknames, they do not stick if the name does not suit one's personality. Perhaps the Army and Army Aviation calling itself a profession merely masks its own true bureaucratic personality. Ideally, if we think of ourselves as professionals, we will act like...

...Coleman always dreamed of flying. She took a stand against racism, segregation, and sexism to make her dream come true. Her bravery and determination showed the world that African Americans are equal, not just in the air, but in all places. Coleman was born on January 20, 1926 in Atlanta, Texas to George and Susan Coleman. She was born into a family of thirteen children, and her father left the family when she was young. (Hart, Up in the Air, pg. 12) Coleman had to overcome both racial and sexual barriers, because she was an African American woman. (Handlemen, Philip. "Armchair Aviator". Yankee Wings, January-February 1995, pg. 20.) The community in which Coleman lived was strictly segregated. African Americans could not go to the same schools, use the same bathrooms, or entrances into buildings. (Hart, Up In The Air, pg. 12) Coleman's family never had much money. To help her family out, Coleman took on jobs such as cotton picking, laundry, and housekeeping. Coleman had dreams of breaking away from these jobs that were for "colored people" (Hart, Up In The Air, pg. 13, 18) and promised that she would "amount to something". (Rich, Doris L. "My Quest for Queen Bess". Air and Space, August-September, pg. 57) One day when Coleman was picking cotton in the fields, she saw birds flying in the sky.

... AVIATION CAREER Flight Safety management Studies UCLA, USA Institute of Aviation Medicine, USA Chairman Board of Inquiry by Theo de Jager Essay Flight Safety 1980 - 1984 Survival and flight safety At the end of my pilot training in Canada, a Dutch classmate crashed because of a mistake that these days would be generally qualified as 'human factor'. Even then, already then, I felt a strong awareness of the importance of flight safety. I remember the slogan put into us during flying training: 'Today is your reward for yesterday's flight safety', a slogan that has stayed with me. There is always a choice between unavoidable and avoidable risks, between adequate self confidence and over confidence. Keeping moments in which margins have to be challenged because of operational requirements, as short as possible. Technical developments have made the aircraft the most reliable means, compared with any other form of transport. The majority of air accidents are now due to the unpredictable human factor. The possibility to study Flight Safety Management, Aircraft Accident Investigation and Aviation Physiology, gave me the opportunity to specialise into this aspect of aviation, after many years of experience as operational fighter pilot, followed by cargo- and passenger pilot, instructor and examiner.

...Marshall School of Business University of Southern California AirTex Aviation Teaching Note Purpose of Case This case was written to illustrate a basic control system choice. Two young and inexperienced MBA graduates purchase a small aviation company that is in financial trouble. If the company will survive, it will do so only with tight management of cash and new accounting and control systems. The company also needs to make better operating decisions. However, the new owners do not know the business well, so they cannot either centralize authority or be very prescriptive to the line managers as to how to run their operations. As a consequence, they design a new control system that makes each operating department a profit center. With coaching of department managers about good business practices, they manage the business on a decentralized fashion and provide the department managers with incentives for generating good results. The case raises a number of issues that managers face in setting up such a decentralized control system. These include issues of autonomy, cost allocations, and transfer pricing. Suggested Assignment Questions 1. Did AirTex need a new control system at the time of the takeover? 2. Evaluate the control system that Frank and Ted implemented. Should anything have been done differently? Case Analysis Does AirTex Need a New Control System? A reasonable way to start the discussion is to ask, “How is AirTex doing?” Exhibit 2 in the case shows the income for...

...had an attitude. The attitude he is talking about is the attitude that they know more than what is being taught. But Mr. Maher went a step further, he asked himself if they act like this here, would they act like this at their profession? This got me thinking of my actions on subjects that I find, “pointless” or topics that I have extensive knowledge in. When I look back to my first week of school, I realize that in every class I enrolled in, I had that “attitude” Mr. Maher wrote about. I thought I knew it all, didn’t give a care in the world to the subject and actually asked to test out of certain classes. My view changed when I was given this assignment. I started to do research on adaptability and how students react to topics they feel will not benefit them in their profession. I found that people who neglect certain topics, generate a routine or habit that limits personal growth. Studies found that people limiting themselves to what they are interested in will neglect opportunities that will impact their chosen field of interest. Like Jim Palmer, a senior HR pilot recruiter said, “it is between the ears that counts”. Despite knowing the topics, I should keep an open mind and try to acquire additional knowledge. When I started doing this, a world of opportunity presented itself. In AVS-127, intro to aviation, I felt that this class was a complete waste of time. On the third day of class, I came with an open mind. Immediately I noticed that I have knowledge...

...Statutory and Regulatory Aspects of the PFC Program | 5 | A Recommendation Regarding PFC Limits | 6 | Works Cited | 7 | Executive Summary As established by the Aviation Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1990, the Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) program – codified at 49 U.S.C. §40117 and regulated by 14 C.F.R. Part 158 – allows airports enplaning more than 2,500 passengers per year to charge passengers up to $4.50 per each flight segment but not more than $18.00 per round trip ticket (Price & Forrest, 2012). PFC funds are collected by the airlines, forwarded to the airports by the collecting airlines, and must be expended by airports for projects directly related to safety, security, capacity, noise reduction, and carrier competition enhancement (Price & Forrest, 2012). This paper will provide an overview of the PFC program and examine the program’s history, detail the arguments for and against an increase in current PFC limits, examine the potential implications or benefits of an increase or of keeping the limit where it is now, and discuss the statutory and regulatory aspects of the PFC program. Finally, this paper will make a recommendation as to whether or not the PFC limits should be removed or increased.

...XXXX I felt excited, and beyond a little nervous, to have a real life opportunity to practice what little I knew. Equipped with a Spanish/English dictionary and a phrase book, I initiated my first Spanish as a second language attempt to communicate: talking with the airport worker who re-fueled the plane while Miguel finalized the paperwork. Aviation fuel is colored to insure airplanes receive the appropriate fuel. In the United States, the gas used in small airplanes is blue and called 100LL, the LL indicates low lead. Most other countries have an equivalent fuel called 8085Green. The fueler was a gruff, middle aged man who clearly didn’t have much interest in helping a Gringo polish his Spanish skills. When I inquired, “?Oye, es eso combustible verde?” (Is that fuel green?) He eyeballed me and the fuel, shook his head, gave an impatient nod followed by a glare that in any language clearly indicated, “Yea, you idiot, it’s green. What did you expect it to be?” The fueler may have never been exposed to anything other than green fuel; however, I thought it was a novelty and worth...
