Aero 1400: Technical report
Information on Australian Aviation regulations
The history: (5) (200)
Although the first powered flight was seen in 1903, the first flight in Australia occurred in March 1910, initiating aviation in Australia. Almost a decade on, regulations on airspace and flight were first seen with Australia signing the International Convention relating to Air Navigation. Soon later, the Civil Aviation Branch was created, becoming the Department of Civil Aviation in 1938. This department dealt with Aviation legislation, flying operations and engineering practices. Later on, in 1988, the Civil Aviation Act 1988 was introduced, establishing the now Civil Aviation Authority as a statutory authority. Seven years later, an amendment

As well as the status of the individual aircraft safety condition; which is inspected by CASA, its condition and design must also be assessed against its type design. The type design is the design of a particular mode of aircraft, and is validated by what is called a “type certificate”. The issuing of a type certificate signifies the required airworthiness of a particular aircraft design, and is required before the first of type CoA can be issued.
6.1 The implications of the Type certificate
As the Type Certificate certifies a particular aircraft design, it thus follows that once given, no further design changes can be made, as it would make such certification obsolete.
according to the type certificate and type certificate data sheet for the aircraft. The type certificate is thereby needed before the first of type
The term “type certificate” is an important aspect to Aircraft certification, and is used by most aviation safety regulators around the world. For an
During the 1970s and 80s production of single engine factory built aircraft has virtually come to a halt. With many product liability lawsuits, which led to large verdicts against the manufacturers of the single engine aircraft, manufacturers slowly dropped out the single engine aircraft business. With no more single engine aircraft being built used single engine aircraft have dramatically increased in price. These events have led to an increase in homebuilt aircraft that cost a fraction of the price of a previously owned Cessna, Beechcraft, or Piper. Another boost to homebuilt aircraft has been the FAA. In the role of promoting air commerce, the FAA has supported regulations and advisory circulars that encourage the development of homebuilt aircraft; for example Advisory Circular 20.27d. (Kolczynski, 2) According to this anybody can buy plans and parts and obtain a special airworthiness certificate to operate the aircraft in the experimental category if the amateur builder does more than 50% of the fabrication or assembly, and does solely for his own education or recreation. (Kolczynski, 2)
During the infancy of aviation no federal safety program existed. Some states passed legislation that required aircraft licensing and registration. Local governments passed ordinances that regulated flight operations and pilots. What this created was a patchwork of safety related requirements. In 1926 Congress passed the Air Commerce Act, which created the Department of Commerce. Historically the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) dates from the Air Commerce Act of 1926. This was the first federal legislation of the government in aviation safety. The government finally realized that by regulating aviation a safer aviation industry could be attained. For example the Post Office suffered one fatality for 463,000 hours of flying versus non-regulated flying there was one fatality per 13,500 hours. As seen by regulating aviation safety is vastly increased.
For the phase-out of the CAB and its authority over domestic routes and fares, For the phase-out of existing economic regulations formerly constituting barriers to competition, Safeguards for the protection of air carrier service to small communities, For the facilitation of entry of air carriers in to new markets, and For certain protection of airline employees who may be adversely affected by the results of the Act.” (p. 228-229) During the times of regulation the Airline industry was completely controlled by the Civil Aero The CAB controlled everything from the price of fares, the routes that the airlines would travel and service, and also airline mergers. According to (Lawrence, 2004) “it was specifically charged with the promotion, encouragement, and development of civil aeronautics.”
The Australian Professional Standards for Teachers provide a framework, which clearly identifies the knowledge, practice and professional knowledge necessary to achieve each standard in a teacher’s career. The Standards aim to enhance all students learning outcomes by providing key indicators of teacher quality to assist the preparation, support and progress of teachers (Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards [BOSTES] 2014). This essay will examine the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) Standard One: “Know students and how they learn” (2011, p.3) by comparing and contrasting the expectations of a graduate and lead teacher. There are six focus areas within Standard One and each area clearly defines
After World War II there was an excess of aircraft and trained pilots in the United States, which significantly increase in private and commercial flights. An increase in the use of private aircraft and large passenger planes meant an increase in the possibly of aircraft safety incidents. Even though safety measures had been put in place to tend to large number of aircraft in the skies, in late 1950’s there were two unfortunate accidents that finally led to legislation that would be a major change to the world of aviation that affects us even today. The introduction of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 spurred several changes in aviation that eventually led to the creation of the Federal Aviation Administration.
As mentioned above briefly that FAA was initially developed in 1925, but until 1959 it has only been use in five cases, which was a big surprise to most of the lawmen. All the people who were familiar with the act projected that it would be a big success and FAA would be used on regular basis. However, in the later part of twentieth century there were various Supreme Court verdicts which were later changed from “quaint . . . procedural statute” into a “national regulatory statute”. In simpler te...
...ncrease its power and to continue to develop new technology to make aviation more efficient and safe. The FAA's future program is call NextGen. This program is designed to create new technologies that can help take advantage of new technology to help make aircraft more modern and easier to fly, and it also helps create more routes airplanes can take and make their existing routes more efficient. The FAA is also trying to help make the aircraft industry very flexible and be able to meet many different needs, and the FAA is also trying to lower costs, improve service and create better security measures to help the aviation industry in the United States be the best in the world. Since its creation 50 years ago the FAA has become a very important part of the United States. It has created one of the most reliable and efficient transportation system in the world.
The engineering section of aircraft manufacturing is quite old. It is characterized by a few firms that keep Rolls-Royce on its toes in terms of competition, like General Electric. The small number of firms can be justified by the high cost of starting of...
Australia's Passion for Aviation Following the conclusion of The Great War (WWI) was the boom era of
Aviation industry deals with more than thousands of people and also spending millions of funds in order to meet the requirements, satisfy the necessities of people and to produce state-of-the-art aircraft. With its objective it is significant to consider the hazards involved and bring out an output with the least extent and under control risks to prevent any loss in terms of life and even profit.
ICAO’s main role is the creation, modernisation and implementation of universally accepted standards for use in international civil aviation and assisting in the planning and development of international air transport to ensure the industry remains safe, efficient and orderly as it evolves. It is responsible for updating the Convention on International Civil Aviation, via annexes. These standards cover all technical and operational aspects of international civil aviation including safety, personnel licensing, operation of aircraft, aerodromes, air traffic services, accident investigation and environmental.
The future of passenger aircraft and their manufactures has an amazing outlook. Every year the brightest minds in aviation compile the greatest technological advances towards creating the safest and most economical aircraft on the planet. No detail is over looked, and the bottom dollar is the all controlling factor. From private aircraft to public aircraft, space exploration and beyond, the future is bright for the passenger aircraft market, and everyone who purchases air travel should be excited to see how industry unfolds.
Aviation security plays a vital role in the aviation industry, from protecting passengers, staff and aircraft. The aviation industry, more specifically airports and aircraft, make prime targets for malicious harm, crime, and other threats because of the vast amount of people that use air transportation. Although there are many risks that are posed to the aviation industry, we can only hope to have learned from the history of airport bombings, hijackings, and sabotage terrorist attacks. The aviation industry faces threats at each step of the journey, but assessing the risks properly will help deter and mitigate these threats. Conducting risk analysis in today’s aviation security is not only important to the aviation industry, but it is important
In 1958, the United States government created the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) because of increasing safety concerns due to aviation accidents. However, they were not the first government organization that regulated air transportation. Even in 1958, the FAA shared certain responsibilities with other organizations. The responsibilities of the FAA at the time were limited when compared to their functions today, but it was an important step to effectively create a safe air transportation environment. To truly understand why the FAA was created, one must first understand the government’s role within the country’s transportation system.
The creation of the airplane dates back to December 17, 1903 in Kitty Hawk North Carolina(inventors.about), which was created by Orville and Wilbur Wright. The experiment for the first plane consisted of taking a man and placing him in the plane and then having the plane raise by its own power, in result this would cause it to fly in a natural manner at even speeds and then defending without any damage (Bellis). The craft they created was called a biplane. A biplane, an aircraft of early design, consists of two sets of wings placed at different levels in a vertical stack with the fuselage(the body of an airplane, containing the cockpit, passenger seating, and cargo) between them. Also the first airplane soared at a height of ten feet and went one hundred twenty feet and touched back down after fifty nine seconds in the air (Bellis). Today theres 1,568 commercial airlines and 23,844 aircrafts in commercial service (Fact Sheet:
