the safety and efficiency of aeronautical operations. The purpose of this task is to analyse and evaluate human factors when applied to a case study. The case study will be based on the crash of a British Midland Airways which involved aircraft Boeing 737-400 series. This undesirable event occurred on 8th January 1989 when British Midland Flight 92 crashed while attempting an emergency landing at East Midlands Airport.

noisy, slow and not especially comfortable despite the efforts of some airlines to make aircraft cabins resemble the first-class state- rooms of an ocean liner. This changed fundamentally after 1958: with the introduction into airline service of the Boeing 707, the Douglas DC-8 and the de Havilland Comet 4, aircraft were capable of flying fast, high and with hitherto unknown smoothness. The jet age had arrived. This paper considers this “age” and its impact on tourism in the 1960s and 1970s. It argues
From the very start Southwest Airlines founders Rollin King and Herb Kelleher decided that its main goal is to get passengers to their destinations on time and at the lowest possible price. To be “different” from others was the only way to survive and to stand out in the struggle for #1 customer’s choice. Southwest Airlines did even more than that. Southwest Airlines paved its way to the top owing to all the innovations, which it ushered in making the flights easier, better and cheaper for its customers
world’s most popular destinations. They also operate the largest fleet of Boeing aircraft in the world to serve 93 destinations in 40 states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and five near international countries which are Aruba, Bahamas, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Mexico (Swamedia, 2015). Another key point to Southwest’s successful operation is that they only employ one type of aircraft, the Boeing 737. By resisting the customary practice of employing numerous types of aircrafts
Introduction The Boeing aircraft company has a long history for creating commercial and military aircraft that are used throughout the world. It is considered to be the most prevalent aerospace company in existence today and employs thousands of workers in many different countries. Throughout its history, Boeing has produced some of the most popular aircraft known today. Possibly the most notable being the 747, which when first revealed was the largest commercial aircraft in existence. Other
Wing tip devices are simply designed airfoils that improve a wing’s lift-to-drag ratio. Through this combination of increased lift and reduced drag, an aircraft can fly more efficiently with the net result being more economical fuel burn. Wing tip devices were first created in 1897, a British engineer named Frederick Lancaster created wing tip devices called wing end plates to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoils he designed (Air force Studies Board, 2007). Through the years, designers
From three Boeing 737 aircraft serving the major Texas airline markets of Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio; Southwest Airlines has grown into to a major carrier boasting nearly 550 planes serving 69 cities (Dess, Lumpkin, Elsner, & McNamara, 2014). What makes Southwest unique is not the success of the Company as much as Southwest’s culture of taking care of its customers and employees.

As the market rebound, patrons’ benefit from healthy
In 1967 after its incorporation, Southwest Airlines wasn’t able to board customers until 1971, due to a lengthy struggle with the court (Southwest Corporate Fact Sheet, 2017). In the United States, Southwest is currently the largest low-cost passenger airlines, launching on high travel days over 3,800 flights daily (Armstrong, 2017). One would agree that Southwest Airlines is a popular airline used by consumers due to discount pricing, bags fly free, package discounts, budget corporate travel,
Southwest Airlines Little did Southwest Airlines know that on June 18, 1971, they would become well known for providing customer service with a sense of warmth, friendliness, individual pride, and company spirit. Herb Kelleher, the founder of Southwest Airlines, created the business model for Southwest on the back of a cocktail napkin. The business model transformed the aviation industry by providing regional air service at an affordable price with reliable service. In the past forty-four consecutive
Southwest airline is one of the biggest airlines carriers in the United States, and it has a great market share among its rivals. The success factors of Southwest can be categorized into three areas: highly focused customer services, highly satisfied associates or employees, and their low priced flight tickets. In addition, Southwest Airlines offer their services only through their websites, and customers cannot buy any of Southwest services through third parties channels, which are known as Online

The airline also has one Boeing 737-400, which holds up to 156 passengers. The fleet also includes two Boeing 737-200,with a passenger capacity of 120 seats and five Hawker Siddeley 748 with a passenger capacity from 4 to 40 depending on cargo configuration (Fly Air North, 2013). One can say that Air North- The Yukon’s
Most of us see aviation as a means of transportation and an alternate mode of travel. Boeing’s businesses are clearly doing one of the things that core businesses are suppose to do. They are making lots of cash. For many years Boeing has been the leader, earning an average cash flow of a billion dollars or more each year. This gives lots of options to maximize shareholders values. This company just seems to have lots of outside areas of interest too. Maybe you’re bored sitting around the house and

Paper Airplane Lab By: Isabella Catanzaro Question: How does the type of material used to make the airplane affect the average distance averaged? Background Research: The weight of printer paper is 1.8 grams per sheet. Cardstock weighs in at 199.6 grams per sheet. While construction paper weighs the total of 68.9 grams. Three important characteristics that contribute to making a good plane is the weight of the material, the stiffness of the material, and the texture of the material. Having
The Boeing 737 is one of the most popular aircraft ever produced. Over 7700 in all variants have been produced, with an additional 11,275 aircraft on order. This makes the 737 the most popular jetliner to date. The 737 has a wide variety of uses, and still remains extremely popular and under high demand. Because it is such a widely mass produced aircraft, it is also a target for constant aerodynamic improvements. Boeing has looked at everything from the design of the anti-collision lights,
Many people ask, “Why I should fly Southwest Airline”. As a frequent flyer of Southwest, I would just respond with “bags fly free and low affordable fares.” Southwest Airlines is the largest affordable carrier which markets the airline alone. Presently, today Southwest is one of the prominent affordable airlines because they believe in providing the best value in price and customer service. Another marketing strategy is that the Airbus carrier flies to over 100 destinations (U.S., Aruba, Belize
cost-effective, where its aim is to keep their aircrafts in the air more often to achieve better capacity utilization. Another resource that they have is the consistent aircrafts that they employ, in which they only use one type of aircraft , the Boeing 737 jets. By maintaining a single model fleet, it significantly simplifies scheduling, operations and flight maintenance. Then training costs for pilots, ground crew and mechanics are not as high, due to the fact that there's only a single aircraft
