This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 23, 2004, about 1918:34 central standard time, an Era Aviation Sikorsky S-76A helicopter, N579EH, crashed into the Gulf of Mexico about 70 nautical miles south-southeast of Scholes International Airport (GLS), Galveston, Texas. The helicopter was en route to the drilling ship Discoverer Spirit. The captain, copilot, and eight passengers aboard the helicopter were killed, and the helicopter was destroyed by impact forces. The flight was operating under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135 on a visual flight rules flight plan.

This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 26, 2020, a Sikorsky S-76B helicopter, N72EX, being operated by Island Express Helicopters Inc. as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 135 on-demand flight, crashed into terrain in Calabasas, California. The pilot and the eight passengers died. One of the passengers was retired basketball player Kobe Bryant. Safety issues include the pilot's preflight weather and flight risk planning, the flight's entry into instrument meteorological conditions and the pilot's inadequate adverse weather avoidance, the pilot's spatial disorientation, influences on the pilot's decision to continue the flight into adverse weather, Island Express' incomplete implementation of its safety management system (SMS), the benefits of a mandatory SMS, the benefits of flight simulation devices for pilot training in adverse weather avoidance, the benefits of a flight data monitoring program, and the value of crash-resistant flight recorder systems in preventing future accidents. As a result of the investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board makes two new safety recommendations each to the Federal Aviation Administration and Island Express.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 23, 2004, about 1918:34 central standard time, an Era Aviation Sikorsky S-76A++ helicopter, N579EH, crashed into the Gulf of Mexico about 70 nautical miles south-southeast of Scholes International Airport (GLS), Galveston, Texas. The helicopter was transporting eight oil service personnel to the Transocean, Inc., drilling ship Discoverer Spirit, which was en route to a location about 180 miles south-southeast of GLS. The captain, copilot, and eight passengers aboard the helicopter were killed, and the helicopter was destroyed by impact forces. The flight was operating under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135 on a visual flight rules flight plan. Night visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident.

Book Synopsis Air Safety Investigators by : Alan E. Diehl, PhD
Download or read book Air Safety Investigators written by Alan E. Diehl, PhD and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03-18 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating story explains how aviation crashes are investigated, and what goes on behind the scenes to improve safety. It is also the untold saga of how one maverick scientist battled the bureaucracy to save lives. Federal officials hired him to prevent an anticipated bloodbath from airline deregulation. He soon introduced innovations, such as Crew Resource Management training, which dramatically reduced airline accidents. However, when he dared expose lies to Congress, officials used the sky marshals to harass him. They then ignored his other programs, which contributed to countless unnecessary deaths -- including JFK Junior's. Becoming a military safety guru, his important tasks included training Air Force One crews, and going undercover to discover why a mysterious Soviet airliner crash killed an African president. But he was fired for blowing the whistle on the Pentagon cover-up of the worst fratricide since Vietnam. Congress and other important organizations have often sought his advice on civil and military aviation problems.

One of its novel features is that it portrays the complex interaction of different experts and opposing interests in investigating and solving the mystery of this single crash.
Download or read book Why Planes Crash written by David Soucie and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-09-14 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boarding an airplane strikes at least a small sense of fear into most people. Even though we all have heard that the odds of being struck by lightning are greater than the odds of perishing in a plane crash, it still doesn't feel that way. Airplane crashes might be rare, but they do happen, and they’re usually fatal. David Soucie insists that most of these deaths could be prevented. He’s worked as a pilot, a mechanic, an FAA inspector, and an aviation executive. He’s seen death up close and personal—deaths of colleagues and friends that might have been pre-vented if he had approved certain safety measures in the aircrafts they were handling. His years of experience have led Dave to become an impassioned consultant on the topic of air-line safety. This includes not only advising the Obama administration, but also taking a leading role in the congressionally funded NextGen interdepartmental initiative in regards to both the department of transportation and the departments of defense, homeland security, FBI, CIA, and others. Find out the truth about airplane safety and discover what the future holds for air travel.

Only after the crash of USAir 427 in 1994 and a similar incident with Eastwind 517 in 1996 the NTSB was able to pinpoint the cause of this crash: jammed rudder. The Boeing 737 has a history of rudder system-related anomalies, this finally solved the mystery of sudden jamming of the rudders of this aircraft.
Download or read book Twice as Far written by Thomas Juby and published by RJ PARKER PUBLISHING, INC.. This book was released on 2017-01-25 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the 2nd of September, 1998, near the small fishing village of Peggy’s Cove, N.S., a Swissair passenger jet carrying 229 people crashed into the ocean with a complete loss of life. This book is the true story of the crash investigation as told by the RCMP’s main crime scene investigator who worked on the investigation from start to finish. For more than four years, he searched for the truth amid the remains of human flesh, and the debris of the aircraft. What he found was not what was presented to the public. Nepotism, deception, intimidation, and lies were tools used by supervisors and managers to overcome this one-person criminal investigation and keep the truth from the public. This is the in-depth story that shows how the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada broke the law, and failed to perform their legal obligations to the Canadian and International public, and to the victims and their families.

Book Synopsis The Mystery of Flight 427 by : Bill Adair
Download or read book The Mystery of Flight 427 written by Bill Adair and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The immediate human toll of the 1994 Flight 427 disaster was staggering: all 132 people aboard died on a Pennsylvania hillside. The subsequent investigation was a maze of politics, bizarre theories, and shrouded answers. Bill Adair, an award-winning journalist, was granted special access to the five-year inquiry by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) while its investigators tried to determine if the world's most widely used commercial jet, the Boeing 737, was really safe. Their findings have had wide-ranging effects on the airline industry, pilots, and even passangers. Adair takes readers behind the scenes to show who makes decisions about airline safety—and why.
Book Synopsis Air Crash Investigations by : Igor Korovin
Download or read book Air Crash Investigations written by Igor Korovin and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 14 September 2008 Aeroflot Flight 821, a Boeing 737-505, operated by Aeroflot-Nord, a subsidiary of the Russian airline Aeroflot, crashed on approach to Bolshoye Savino Airport, Perm, Russia. All 82 passengers and 6 crew members were killed. The aircraft was completely destroyed. According to the final investigation report, the main reason of the crash was pilot error. Both pilots had lost spatial orientation due to new instruments they were not familiar with, lack of proper training, insufficient knowledge of English and fatigue from lack of adequate rest. Alcohol in the Captain's blood may also have contributed to the accident.
Book Synopsis Beyond the Black Box by : George Bibel
Download or read book Beyond the Black Box written by George Bibel and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2008-01-31 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The black box is orange—and there are actually two of them. They house the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder, instruments vital to airplane crash analyses. But accident investigators cannot rely on the black boxes alone. Beginning with the 1931 Fokker F-10A crash that killed legendary football coach Knute Rockne, this fascinating book provides a behind-the-scenes look at plane wreck investigations. Professor George Bibel shows how forensic experts, scientists, and engineers analyze factors like impact, debris, loading, fire patterns, metallurgy, fracture, crash testing, and human tolerances to determine why planes fall from the sky—and how the information gleaned from accident reconstruction is incorporated into aircraft design and operation to keep commercial aviation as safe as possible.
Book Synopsis AIR CRASH INVESTIGATIONS: JAMMED RUDDER KILLS 132, The Crash of USAir Flight 427 by : Hank Williamson, editor
Download or read book AIR CRASH INVESTIGATIONS: JAMMED RUDDER KILLS 132, The Crash of USAir Flight 427 written by Hank Williamson, editor and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Boeing 737 has a history of rudder system-related anomalies, including numerous instances of jamming. A number of accidents and incidents were the result of the airplanes' unexpected movement of their rudders. During the course of the four and a half year investigation of the crash of USAir Flight 427 near Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, killing 132 people, the NTSB discovered that the PCU's dual servo valve could jam as well as deflect the rudder in the opposite direction of the pilots' input, due to thermal shock, caused when cold PCUs are injected with hot hydraulic fluid. This finally solved the mystery of sudden jamming of the rudders of this aircraft.
