successful powered heavier-than-air flight. During the course of World War I, airplanes proved to be a useful tool for the military. With the introduction of airmail planes were now utilized for commercial purposes. The Air Mail Act of 1925 gave birth to the airlines and passenger service began. But the airplane did not reach its full commercial potential until 1926 when the Air Commerce Act was passed. This legislation was responsible for issuing and enforcing traffic rules, licensing pilot, certifying

Aeronautics Board in 40’s. As a result of jet travel and accidents the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 brought forth the FAA. The main roles of the FAA is to regulate air transportation by managing the air navigation facilities, providing flight standards and conducting inspections, license management, regulating safety, managing the air traffic control system for civil and military, and maintaining the airspace system. Without the FAA there would not be order in the skies. Its regulations, standards

noted as the primary factor of numerous accidents and near mid-air crashes in the aviation industry for centuries. Pilot’s tend to experience sleep deprivation more frequently than the average human being does, this is due to the long hours of international flights or because of coast to coast type flights. Therefore, establishing an understanding of how sleep deprivation influences a pilot’s performance in the cockpit or an air traffic controller’s judgment is crucial in order to counter fatigue

memory (PM). An air traffic controller is used to manage the flow of aircrafts into, out of and within a certain designated airspace in a safe and orderly way. Superior governing bodies usually designate these airspaces. Air traffic controller [ATC] is where an individual must remember to perform intended actions and thus have a high level of prospective memory. The ATC experiment was a simulation-based experiment in which each individual was to perform the tasks of an air traffic controller. Through the

Case Study: Emirates Airline English Language Proficiency Prevents Air Disasters Emirates Airlines Certifies Crews with Test that Simulates Radiotelephonic Communication In 1996, 349 passengers and crew were killed when two planes collided mid-air over New Dehli. This accident was attributed in part to language barriers that retarded radiotelephony communication between the flight and ground crew. According to aviation experts Jason Park and Tyler Kong, “…the lack of ability for all parties involved

Administering a wireless network can be very troublesome for anyone involved, but with technology like controller based wireless systems, this task can be made easier to configure. Wireless networks are used to connect computers, devices such as smart phones and tablet wirelessly by relaying data traffic through access points (AP), with little used of wired infrastructure. A few AP can be suitable for a small setting such a two story building, but in large enterprises such as a campus, far more APs

Attentional Blink Attentional Blink (AB) is the occurrence when the second of two visual targets cannot be detected or identified when it appears proximate in time to the first (Badcock, Badcock, Fletcher & Hogben, 2012). The purport of this research paper is to examine the attentional blink, identify alternative targets for focus, identify vocations that attentional blink can cause mistakes, and consider the effect of vehicle design in connection to attention blink. The next section discusses attention
