The hazardous weather situation Nate xm30
It's about 110 years when the aircraft produced by the wright brothers in 1903. Now in 2013 the aircraft is very safe, but it's also can be affected by the hazardous weather situation. Some good pilot said if he is a good pilot he will know all clouds and will judge the weather good or bad to fly before they ramp out. So today I want to discuss about the hazardous weather with aviation.
Although a lot of accidents of flight most affect with the human factors. But another big factor I think is the hazardous weather situations. If these two things combine together it’s will have the high possibility to happen an accident. Like the biggest aviation accident in 1977 years 17:03:27. In tenerife in the canary islands, los department roddy's airport runway 12 between taxiway C3 and C4 the Royal Dutch airlines flight KL4805 not follow the ATC clearance and run into the pan American airlines flight PA1736 on the runway and result in 583 people dead. This thing shock the world and make a lot of people in a sad situation! Although the main reason is the pilot not follow the rules but another reason is that if the island don't have a big fog these two airplane pilot will see each other and this accident will be avoided. So it’s very important for pilot to know the hazardous weather situation and know how to avoid the hazardous weather situation.
Hazardous weather situation, I want to talk something about its influence on the flight. The normal situation like the poor visibility, cumulonimbus clouds, thunderstorms, hail, the wind shear, and these hazardous weather situation will affect flight safety. They will produce the serious influence for flight safety. So I will discuss a...

...oved horizontally over a warmer surface or when the ground heated by the sun.so when the air become the moist, this may be build-ups of cumulus clouds formations. In these situation, we can find relief from this turbulence by climb into the cap stable area and begins at the top of the convective layer. This sometimes will be identified by an area of cumulus clouds, haze or dust.
Although the influence of the bad weather can cause a lot of flight safety problems, but as long as the knowledge we learned about the weather and we will be easy to distinguish the symptoms and omen of the bad weather before we fly, and now the satellite technology can help us to find the bad weather easily and will make us effective avoid the bad weather in our flight route. So, today we should study hard to enrich our knowledge. Because just in this way we will success in the next flight.
... for their flight and will need to prepare again at a later date, this happened to Alan Shepard as he was ready for the launch of the first manned rocket on May 2. “Then the launch was postponed because of bad weather.” (W192). While on the other side of flying they are able to fly through hazards storms that engulf the entire plane “we are suddenly not in an airplane but a submarine” (G65) they are able to do this by relying on their skills and instruments, while trusting that the plane will still fly and preform long enough to get them to safety. Each of the books demonstrate their own approach for handling weather conditions ________ FINISH
This is extremely dangerous. Technology is so far advanced, it is unneccisary for a human being to risk his or her life for data that can be found a simpler and safer way. In paragraph 4, Ralph O'Hair describes the intence winds that beat and endanger the plane "like a stick in a dog's mouth." It must be very unnerving, to be thrown around like that. The reason for brave pilots to do this now is explained in paragraph 10, "As it flies through the eyewall and the hurricane's center, the airplane launches dropsondes, small instruments attached to parachutes. The devices fall to the ocean and transmit bursts of data to the airplane twice every second. The data includes temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, as well as the speed and direction of winds." It is neccisary for scientist and meteorologist to come up with a safer way to collect
Tornadoes form from wind shears. Wind shears form from warm air that is found at ground level; when it’s raised, the updraft meets a down draft of cooler air that is moved in the opposite direction of the warm air. When both are pushed towards the Earth, this creates wind shear. A spinning tube of air, created from wind shear; tilts upward into a vertical position, as the updraft sucks up moisture from the ground and into the sky. As the warm air cools high in the sky; this produces condensation. The condensation then produces thunderclouds, which rise to 30,000+ feet. The spinning formations of air are then trapped and lifted into the thundercloud. This begins as swirling motion and as continued (if the winds remained viable), a supercell will form. Mesocyclones as they are known are a rotating cloud. If these rotating clouds run into humid air it will spi...
The next level is Precondition for Unsafe Acts. Precondition begins at level two and it is dividing into environmental factors, condition of operator, and personnel factors. In regards to Flight 3407, the environmental factors would be the weather condition. Icing was a factor when occurred on the wings. Both pilots were experiencing fatigue during their flight. They have pushed their body to limits where as their reaction times were not fully functional. Furthermore, due to fatigues and not adequate situational awareness, the crew did not perform to their best optimal on the job.
With few exceptions today’s weather tracking technology is only continuing to evolve. The use of satellites allows for accurate readings and predictions of upcoming weather events. These findings in conjunction with such inventions as the Marine VHF radio which can send for help at a maximum range of 60 nautical miles help warn the crew of impending doom before the storm hits. Though many ships have been destroyed by storms in the past, today’s technology is humanity 's solution against the relentless forces of
The next type of thunderstorm is a multicell storm, which is nothing more than what the name implies multiple cells working together to create a storm front. Several of these updrafts and downdrafts work together in close proximity to create what is called a mu...
The weather conditions play a major influential role in a person’s daily life. Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors have be linked with different weather conditions, depending on the person. Different moods and behaviors have been correlated with different weather conditions, further proving its psychological effect. However, these same psychological influences have been examined to be more physiologically affecting. In this paper, the role of weather conditions, (positive and negative), in relation to their influence on behavioral health will be reviewed. It is hypothesized that exposure to constantly fluctuating levels of high barometric pressure will lead to negative behavior. The following literature reviews will demonstrate and support this hypothesis.
An ordinary-single cell is the most common, but multicell and supercells are responsible for the severe thunderstorms. The ordinary single-cell thunderstorms are short lived with three stages: the cumulus, the mature, and the dissipating stages. In the last stage, it eliminates the upward supply of high humidity air needed to maintain a thunderstorm. On the other hand, multicell storms are composed of severe individual single-cell storms that can make storms last for several hours. There is dense, cold air of the downdraft that forms the gust front which forms new cells. Then, groups of these thunderstorms tend to join into larger systems referred to as mesoscale convective
Environmental conditions play a vital part in aviation as a whole. Much planning goes into a flight based on the current and forecast weather conditions for safety reasons. Accidents have occurred due to flying in bad weather such as thunderstorms with low level wind sheer, lightning, hale, icing conditions and poor visibility. Poor weather especially icing can be very dangerous to flight but most accidents can be avoided if the right precautions are taken to avoid potential bad weather situations. I will take a closer look at icing conditions on aircraft and give examples of icing related accidents
Over the course of the thirty years spanning from 1959 to 1979 there were many incidents that led to a need for a system to reduce human factors in major accidents, but in the seventies, there were some significant accidents that highlighted a need for action. A very notable crash was the Eastern Airlines Flight 401 on December 29, 1972. The flight was making their approach in Miami when the landing gear light would not illuminate. All members of the flight crew attempted to troubleshoot the problem with the autopilot on. Air Traffic Control (ATC) instructed the pilot to divert away from the airport at 2000 feet while they figured out the issue. The autopilot function...

The primary cause is of airplane accidents does at some stage contain an element of a person being unable to discharge his duties correctly and in an accurate manner. More than 53% accidents are the result of ignorance or faults by the pilot during flight. Other staff is responsible for about 8% accidents. The most obvious errors by pilot are made during the take off or landing on the runway. Additionally errors can occur during the maintenance of the airplane outside the plane, whereby a lack of thorough inspection and oversight can lead to complication during mid-flight. Fueling and loading of the plane also sometimes create problems (Shapiro, 2001).
This term paper reviews the three most common catagories of aviation accident causes and factors. The causes and factors that will be discussed are human performance, environmental, and the aircraft itself. Although flying is one of the safest means of transportation, accidents do happen. It is the investigators job to determine why the accident happened, and who or what was at fault. In the event of an accident, either one or all of these factors will be determined as the cause of the accident. Also discussed will be one of the most tradgic plane crashes in aviation history and the human factors involved.
Accidents is defined as an unplanned and undesired circumstances resulting in injuries, fatalities and loss or damage of property or assets(safety.ILO, 2011). Accidents are much deeper and beyond the older clichés, accounting to bad luck or fate, almighty’s work or simply being at wrong place at wrong time. But, in todays scientific world it is neither perceived as fate nor as deity’s work but a social problem resulting from a chain of undesired events. Preventing accidents is very arduous task without knowledge of accident phenomenon and the study in the field of accident phenomenon has been very diverse but a basic question has always been raised as why does accident occur? Can there be some common pattern to it? To unravel these mysteries and predict and prevent accidents several theories and model has been postulated in the past and recent times with each having some explanatory and predictive values.
