...Project Management value in Aviation Your Mom MGMT424 Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Managing projects can be a difficult and complicated process. This is even more so in aviation projects where quality and safety are bigger factors than just monetary gains. Aviation projects usually have at least 2 stakeholders. The most benefiting stakeholders of aviation project management are usually the pilots and passengers as well as the primary customers. There are rarely any two aviation projects that are alike and even two similar projects can run into completely different problems. Effective project management techniques will matter in projects building the largest passenger aircraft to date or in creating a more effective NextGen ATC system. Air Shows, runway resurfacing and airport expansion are all very time critical projects that are dependent on meeting deadlines however quality can never be compromised. So we will explore how project management adds value to aviation projects regarding Safety, Profitability and Risk Management. Aviation related projects rarely come at cheap price. In fact, hundreds of millions of dollars can be invested in aviation projects. Aviation companies such as Lockheed-Martin, Northrop Grumman and Honeywell operate on huge multi-billion dollar government contracts for aviation products. The FAA even states that “This year’s forecast predicts that the industry will grow from 731 million passengers in 2011 to 1.2 billion in 2032”...

... current developments) The reports covers the entire aviation industry and will include the recession aspect and its consequences on the passengers demand, the economic cycle and also on the current developments. 1.0 Introduction One of the biggest international industries, the air transport, has the largest sensitivity on the economic crisis. That crisis hit and still continues to effect the populations, industries and economic growth in developed and developing countries. Every sector has been effected by the crisis, every industry has had a reaction and an immediate research for solutions. Instability of revenue and expenditure in the airline industry was effected from the global change. That for is easy to deduce that these reactions are different from each other. This in according to available founds, resources and differences in management. 2.0 Impacts on demand The demand aspect, is a factor that shows us the relationship between population and economic crisis. In fact, the perception of crisis brings different fears and uncertainty in people. Thus leading to an increase of the overall savings, with consequences under the economic factor, with less expenditure incurred by each person. This is one of the things that influenced more directly the airline industry, with a sharp drop in demand. Taking into account only two points is easy to imagine on one hand the airlines in trouble. And their management of this crisis have a fundamental elements as the recovery...

The aviation community has led the way in promoting advances aimed at reducing its environmental footprint for many years. Aviation emissions only make up a fraction of all of the transportation emissions, while business aviation makes up an even smaller fraction of that. As an example of something to reduce emissions and optimize aircraft performance and flight range over a decade ago winglets were introduced into general aviation. This equipment also contributed to more efficient fuel burn and is now in place on a large number of general aviation aircraft. In addition, the industry continues to reduce engine emissions by applying new technologies, which means that today’s aircraft engines are cleaner, quieter, and more fuel-efficient than ever. Operational improvements advanced by business aviation also have resulted in national airspace system efficiencies that help the environment. Over two years ago, NBAA members began equipping aircraft, at their own cost, with cockpit technology allowing for reduced vertical separation minimums (RVSM), effectively doubling the system’s airspace capacity. In spite...

...Aviation Maintenance from A Manger’s Perspective Lisa A. Williams Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Management 203 Christopher Urdzik April 26, 2015 Abstract This paper explores aviation maintenance from a Manager’s perspective. There are various governing bodies that control or oversee how maintenance is performed on a routine basis for commercial aircraft. The main governing body that is discussed here is the FAA. Also discussed is the required training of the Airframe and Powerplant mechanic and how management can be assured that mechanics are qualified to release aircraft after performing maintenance certifying these aircraft are safe to fly. Also, in this paper, the attempt is made to show where mechanics need ongoing training to assure management that the mechanic is trained on new technologies that are developed and used in commercial and corporate aviation. The answers are not mapped out by the FAA or training programs so it is up to the company to be sure that the mechanic is made aware of these new technologies through FAA study groups that managers can attend and brief technicians on new developments. Human error cannot be eradicated it is indispensable fact of the human behavior (Maddox, 1998). Although, aviation maintenance managers have acquired high levels of technological skills training related to their profession, the above statement from Dr. Michael Maddox is true in regards to human error. Research in the industrial...

...Air Transportation Management The Impact of General Aviation General aviation is considered one of the three main segments of the aviation market. The other two being commercial aviation and military aviation. General aviation operations are anything other than military and common carriage. Without general aviation, the industry would suffer in countless ways, possibly even collapse. General aviation includes, literally, every other civilian job except for the few related to the airline sector. What I consider the most important ones are aerial firefighting, flight instructing, pipeline patrol, corporate, bush piloting, agricultural, and test piloting. Flight instructing is one of the most important jobs that there is in the aviation industry. It is where pilots obtain the proper training and skills necessary to be safe and adequate. I believe flight instructing is most likely the most underrated and underpaid job in the aviation industry. Without this job, all pilots would have to come from the military, which would cause a severe shortage of pilots. Pipeline patrol requires pilots to fly aircraft at very low altitudes over varying terrain to observe pipelines and check for any problems or vandalism within the lines. Another type of this job is for pilots to patrol the U.S. borders in search for illegal activities. Without either of these general aviation jobs, more resources and man hours would be required to check oil pipelines and secure our borders. Corporate flying...

...Crew Resource Management Robert Gibbs Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract CRM, known as Crew Resource Management was once called Cockpit Resource Management. This term got expanded due to the fact that the teamwork of the crew of an aircraft went far beyond just the realm of the cockpit of the aircraft, which basically referred to only the personnel in the cockpit, the pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer, and any other personnel who was stationed in the cockpit area. CRM is very crucial to the safe operation of the aircraft and ground crew personnel. In my opinion, the two crucial aspects of CRM are leadership and communication in the cockpit. There are other important characteristics of CRM as well, such as having a sterile cockpit is very important. So let’s take a look at CRM as we know it. What Is Crew Resource Management? Crew Resource Management—CRM, in layman terms is the teamwork of all aircrew personnel of an aircraft to conduct the safe flight of an aircraft. Now the official definition of CRM is a management system which makes optimum use of all available resources, equipment, procedures, and people- to promote safety and improve the efficiency of flight operations. CRM focuses on interpersonal communications, leadership, and decision making in the cockpit. CRM also focuses on the proper response to threats to safety...

...Hendrick Motorsports Aircraft Accident The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report examined the events of flight N501RH, operated by Hendrick Motorsports Incorporated on October 24, 2004 from Concorde, NC to Martinsville, VA, and its unsuccessful approach to Martinsville Ridge Airport. Several factors were determined to be as expected for a normal flight path while others were askew. The resulting deaths of the passengers onboard can be attributed to human errors and management shortfalls as there were no mechanical anomalies. Background Flight N501RH was a Beech King Air 200 manufactured in 1981 and had a total time on plane of 8,140 hours. All maintenance inspections were up to date. The aircraft left Concorde, NC on October 24, 2004 and had a flight plan to head to Martinsville Airport in Virginia. The aircraft was equipped with a global positioning system (GPS) though the database was not current making it uncertified in instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plans. Owned and operated by Hendrick Motorsports, the passenger list consisted of two crew members, six members belonging to Hendrick Motorsports and two additional passengers. Sequence of Events The aircraft departed from Concorde at 1156 en route to Martinsville. The flight was routine and all data and communications during the flight were normal. The pilot maintained all assigned heading and altitudes. No warning signs were identified until the aircraft approached the localizer...
