Download or read book Safer Skies written by David Soucie and published by Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past and future of airline safety—a memoir of successes, crashes, and near misses—by a former FAA accident inspector. 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 in the cockpit, on the hangar floor, within the aviation boardroom, and inside the Washington, DC, beltway. He’s seen death up close and personal—deaths of colleagues and friends that might have been prevented if he had approved certain safety measures in the aircraft they were handling. Years of experience have led Dave to become an impassioned consultant on the topic of airline safety. This includes not only advising the Obama administration, but also the Department of Transportation, the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, NASA, and the Office of National Intelligence. Soucie was also a lead consultant and analyst for coverage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which went missing in March 2014. Find out the truth about airplane safety and discover what the future holds for air travel in Safer Skies.

Book excerpt: The Aviation and Transportation Security Act mandates that by December 2002 100 percent of checked baggage be screened. Can this schedule be met? RAND assessed the feasibility of using explosive detection system machines or whether less-expensive explosive trace detection machines could shoulder part of the load. After studying operations at Dulles and Dallas-Fort Worth Airports, the authors concluded that a bottom-up approach on an airport-by-airport basis was better than the top-down approach mandated by the FAA. They identified six problem areas and propose improvements that, while not meeting the deadline, will increase security.

Book excerpt: Boarding an airplane strikes at least a small sense of fear into most people.

Book excerpt: The idea of establishing civil aviation in fifties Bhutan was merely a dream, a dream which only became reality many years later. Even then, with its embryonic infrastructure, flight safety in Bhutan leaves something to be desired. Captain Tashi is determined to help bring his beloved Kingdom into the present-day world, but his relationship with TASS’s Chief Executive Officer, Duale, could stand in the way. The author weaves the ins and outs of some of the cornerstones of aviation safety through a story in which the action alternates between the United States and Bhutan. This extraordinary story is at times overflowing with love and happiness; at others it epitomises hate and sadness. Personal ambition stands in the way of greater safety for all as the book reaches its climax in tragedy...

Book Synopsis How Safe Are Our Skies? by : Rodney Wallis
Download or read book How Safe Are Our Skies? written by Rodney Wallis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-02-28 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon raised numerous questions about American and international aviation security. Former Director of Security of the International Air Transport Association Rodney Wallis suggests that the failure to maximize U.S. domestic air security, which left air travelers vulnerable to attack, lay largely with the carriers themselves. He contends that future policies should parallel the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization. Wallis considers the Aviation and Transportation Security Act adopted by the U.S. Congress in the wake of September 11 and offers a modus operandi to the FAA that would enable them to maximize the benefits this legislation provides to air travelers. This important work reviews past government reactions to the threat posed by air terrorism and questions whether these were effective responses or merely window dressing. It also includes practical advice for air travelers on how to maximize their own security when flying on international routes by monitoring airport and airline security for themselves.
