For this assignment, first, review the following video, which is a good example of the difference between POH calculated takeoff and landing performance data versus the actual takeoff and landing performance data: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMRafSuzkQ8
Write a paper explaining why we may see a difference between POH calculated takeoff and landing performance data versus the actual takeoff and landing performance data. Use the takeoff and landing graphs/performance tables in Chapters 8 and 9 as a basis for discussing the following:
Takeoff Considerations
Environmental change of conditions
Obstacles
Slopes
Runway Condition
Surface Contamination
Landing Considerations – Use the equations for the following performance factors to support your paper:
Calculate an Approach speed for a selected landing weight
Calculate Drag during landing
Total drag at touchdown (stall speed)
Average drag during landing roll (based on total drag at stall speed – Resources and Inputs)
Calculate Residual thrust
Residual power based on the rated power of the aircraft
Thrust at touchdown
Average thrust during the landing roll
Calculate Average deceleration during the landing roll
Calculate Length of the landing roll
Explain where appropriate:
Influence of altitude on landings
Influence on landing speeds
Influence on landing distances
Difference between landing roll length (as calculated above) and landing distance (as published in a POH)
Influence of landing conditions such as runway material and surface condition, runway slope, wind conditions
Influence of weight on landings
Influence on landing speeds
Influence on landing distances
Conduct research using the Hunt Library. Your paper should be a minimum of 500 words and in APA format. Ensure that you cite your references. Your paper will automatically be evaluated through Turnitin when you submit your assignment in this activity. Turnitin is a service that checks your work for improper citation or potential plagiarism by comparing it against a database of web pages, student papers, and articles from academic books and publications. Ensure that your work is entirely your own and that you have not plagiarized any material! Additionally, refer to the Academic Resources page in this course for information about the Turnitin Draft Coach service.

For this assignment, you will prepare a short paper by conducting research on a commercial aviation accident. Using the four components of a Safety Management System (SMS), you will determine what preventive measures could have been incorporated and verified to prevent the accident. You will select a sample and a particular hazard for a commercial aviation operator based on an accident from the NTSB Aviation Investigation Search. Select Part 121: Air carrier from the dropdown menu under Operation, FAR Part.
After conducting research, explain the following concerning SMS:
Features of the SMS
How these features provide value to a proactive and predictive safety program
How changes will be validated using the safety assurance process
How information can be communicated to employees whom the changes may impact

For this module week’s discussion, compare and contrast environmental factors and weight and balance factors that affect takeoff and landing performance. Discuss one accident caused by one of those factors and how it could have been mitigated. Ensure the factor was a direct cause of the incident and not just a side issue. Try to stay away from a total “pilot error issue.”

Title: Reducing Error Through Training and Education
You will be a guest lecturer for one week in a 300-level, online course on human factors in aviation safety consisting of 25 adult students with diverse backgrounds and experience.
As the guest lecturer, the professor has asked you to share your experience with the class. After all, you are a Subject Matter Expert in the field of Human Factors and Aviation Safety!
First, decide exactly what you want to discuss by formulating your topic for the lecture by filling in the blank:
The importance of training and education to optimize human performance and reduce error in aviation safety for ______ safety problem/challenge
Please answer the following:
What is your topic?
What are the learning objectives you want to convey to your students (3–4 key points)
How will you design your content delivery? What part is training, and what part is education?
What training method, education approaches, and job aids will you use, and why?
Compare and contrast the method, approaches, and job aids you selected to those you did not.
What job aid(s) did you select and how is it used in your class?
How will you measure student success?
Do not provide the actual course content, but instead describe your training and education methods, and explain how you would teach the class on the subject you have selected.
Compile the information into a paper of no more than 5-7 pages. While APA is not required for the paper itself, ensure that any references are properly cited in current APA format.
Your paper will automatically be evaluated through Turnitin when you submit your assignment in this activity.

This module week’s discussion is going to bring together topics from last module week’s reading in Chapter 4 and this module week’s reading in Chapter 5. First, consider the various wing designs, including airfoil characteristics, wing planform, and lift devices such as flaps, slats, vortex generators, and boundary layer devices. Next, think about how these impact the stall characteristics of the wing. Finally, search for an example of an aircraft incident or accident involving a stall or spin. If ground effect could have been a factor, please also bring this into the discussion (for example, a stall on take-off). Read your classmates’ posts before making your initial post, and choose an incident or accident that has not already been used.
Answer the following questions about your scenario:
What phase of flight was the aircraft in when the incident/accident occurred? (Take-off, cruise, pattern, landing)
What attitude was the aircraft in when the incident/accident occurred? (Turn, straight and level, climb, descent, accelerating, decelerating)
What were the wings’ aerodynamic characteristics, and how do they relate to the accident/incident?
What could have been done differently to prevent this accident/incident?
Include a reference so your classmates can read the article you are referring to. Utilize the Hunt Library!
Please use AsiaAir 8501.
Thank you.
