All research papers should have a cover page and references. Use APA 7 Edition rules and citation formats. The research papers are to be typed, double-spaced, sources cited, and contain a reference page (per APA 7 format).

Please add an abstract to the attached paper.
An abstract is a brief, comprehensive summary of the contents of the paper, including your conclusion and recommendation.

Please create a presentation for the attached research paper. Speaker notes must be included in the slides.
Identify your research problem (with appropriate support).
Explain why the problem is relevant.
Identify the data you analyzed and what the results of that analysis revealed.
Justify your recommendation.
Include a reference slide.

Post your thorough and complete answers to the following scenario. Provide the scenario number at the beginning of your post.
Scenario 1
You are employed as a corporate pilot by Gargantuan National Bank. The job puts your flight schedule at the mercy of the travel needs of the bank’s key executives, who travel worldwide often on very short notice and expect you to be ready to depart as soon as they finish their business at a location. Is it to your advantage or disadvantage to be classified by the U.S. Department of Labor as a “learned professional”? Explain.

Summarize the impact of that topic on the commercial aviation and aerospace industry and the evolving context of aviation policy and regulation. Try to review the topics already addressed and select something different.
Ideas to help guide your work:
List the main ideas within this topic.
State reasons why the topic is necessary.
Choose a specific person or group involved, and explain their role in the topic.
Ask a classmate how this topic will change in the future.

Attached is the proposal/interim report of this research paper. Expand it into a full research paper. Please closely follow all the objectives listed (also the section in red) and use the sources listed in the end. Other than the literature review sources, additional information from airline annual reports is also required for each section, as stated in the section in red. In depth research and analyzation is required. (reference list does not count towards the 5500 word count requirement)

As we bring our class to a close, look at some of the “tools” that we as aviators use to make our cockpits safer, such as Crew Resource Management and Threat Error Management. Given an explanation, in your own words, how these tools have changed the way emergencies, abnormal operations, and threats are handled today as opposed to the days when the captain was always right! What do you think of this quote from David Beaty’s book, The Naked Pilot: “the machine, the technology, has advanced more in a hundred years than man’s brain has in a hundred thousand.”? Lastly, the Bible tells us that we are to be open to criticism and respectful to others. At the same time, we must not remain silent when circumstances arise that affect the aircraft’s safe operation or a conflict among crew members or passengers happens. Explain your thoughts on this dichotomy and cite a Scripture verse to support your ideas.

Writer, this is a group project. I am tasked with writing section IV. Economic Regulation and Route Authority and V. Fleet Composition: Owned vs. Leased Aircraft.
Below is a more detailed breakdown of sections IV and V with corresponding References. PLEASE ADD ONE SCHOLARLY REFERENCE FOR EACH SECTION!
IV. Economic Regulation and Route Authority
• Regulatory authority for economic aspects and route management
• Impact on routes, rates, and other operational aspects
• Reference: Qatar Airways: building a global brand by Abdulla Hamad, M. F., Al-Kwifi, O., Ahmed, Z. U., & Dang, K. T. (2021) in the Journal of Economic and Administrative Sciences,
V. Fleet Composition: Owned vs. Leased Aircraft
• Analysis of the extent to which the fleet consists of owned versus leased aircraft
• Reference: Qatar Airways Group. (2024). Qatar Airways Fleet. https://www.qatarairways.com/en/fleet.html
NOTE: Attached is the Word Document titled “Qatar Airwars Research Paper”. When you write the 3 pages, insert your writing into the highlighted sections IV and V. Please add new references in proper APA7 format in alphabetical order where appropriate.

The Tenerife airport disaster occurred on March 27, 1977, when two Boeing 747 passenger jets collided on the runway at Los Rodeos Airport (now Tenerife North Airport) on the Spanish island of Tenerife. The collision occurred when KLM Flight 4805 initiated its takeoff run while Pan Am Flight 1736 was still on the runway. The impact and resulting fire killed everyone on board KLM 4805. There were only 61 survivors in the front section of the Pan Am 1736 aircraft. With 583 fatalities, the disaster is the deadliest accident in aviation history.
A terrorist incident at Gran Canaria Airport had caused many flights to be diverted to Los Rodeos including the two aircraft involved in the accident. The airport quickly became congested with parked airplanes blocking the only taxiway and forcing departing aircraft to taxi on the runway instead. Patches of thick fog were drifting across the airfield. Visibility was greatly reduced for pilots and the control tower.
The subsequent investigation by Spanish authorities concluded that the primary cause of the accident was the KLM captain’s decision to take off in the mistaken belief that a takeoff clearance from air traffic control (ATC) had been issued. Dutch investigators placed a greater emphasis on a mutual misunderstanding in radio communications between the KLM crew and ATC, but ultimately, KLM admitted that their crew was responsible for the accident and the airline agreed to financially compensate the relatives of all of the victims.
The disaster had a lasting influence on the industry highlighting the vital importance of using standardized phraseology in radio communications. Cockpit procedures were also reviewed contributing to the establishment of crew resource management as a fundamental part of airline pilots’ training.
Review the video of the Tenerife Accident:

Using the information about the Tenerife Airport Disaster, address the following:
1. How did the Tenerife Accident become an inflection point for aviation safety and human factors?

Read the following two chapters from A Cloud Over Bhopal: Causes, Consequences, and Constructive Solutions (PDF)/Grazian-Archive (attached).
Chapter 1: In the Coolness of Night
Chapter 2: To Cope with a Killing Cloud
Read The Unfolding of Bhopal Disaster (attached)
The Bhopal disaster is considered the worst industrial accident in the history of the world. Death estimates have been placed as high as 15,000, and injuries totaled over 500,000. Based on what you learned in the videos and the readings, use one of the techniques you learned about this module week to conduct an analysis of one of the system malfunctions that happened at the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal. Take this analysis and draft a report to show your findings and how to correct this problem before it becomes catastrophic.
This assignment has two requirements that must be completed and submitted.
1. The first is a chart presenting the data you selected to analyze in your chosen technique. Examples are found in the Hazard Analysis Techniques for System Safety (attached).
2. The second is a short narrative to tell why the items you show in your chart are important and need to be addressed.
