Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the second in a series of reports to be issued by the National Transportation Safety Board as a result of its General Aviation Crashworthiness program. The purpose of this program is to provide information to support changes in crashworthiness design standards for seating and restraint systems in general aviation airplanes. A Phase One report presented a methodology for documenting impact severity. This Phase Two report presents specific data on survivable accidents. The data developed in this study suggest that the survivable enveloe is defined by impact speeds of 45 knots at 90 degrees of impact angle, 60 knots at 45 degrees, and 75 knots at zero degrees. Data are presented which demonstrate that if all occupants wear shoulder harnesses, fatalities are expected to be reduced by 20 percent and 88 percent of the seriously injured persons in survivable crashes are expected to experience significantly fewer life-threatening injuries. Thirty-four ercent of the seriously injured occupants of survivable accidents are expected to be less seriously injured if energy-absorbing seats are available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the deregulation of commercial airlines in 1978, the United States airline industry has changed dramatically. Route entry and exit flexibility, as well as fare setting have stimulated competition, forcing airlines to emphasize cost control, increased productivity, and effective marketing. How have these changes in both public and private policies influenced airline safety? Do airplanes have more accidents now than ever before? This work examines the causes of airplane accidents and what private and public policies are needed to improve aviation safety. It begins by examining the safety record of the United States commuter airline industry in the post-deregulation era characterized by increased emphasis by airlines on cost control and growing pressures on the air traffic control and airport system. The authors go beyond the safety of the scheduled airlines to examine the reasons for accidents in the nonscheduled and general aviation segments of the United States industry, where the bulk of fatalities occur and where airline pilots increasingly receive most of their training and experience. They then turn to an examination of aviation safety throughout the world, first with a detailed comparison of Canadian and American aviation safety, and then with a look at air safety in all regions of the world and the safety performances of all the world's major airlines. Three emerging issues are then examined in greater detail: assessing the margin of safety, worldwide aging of all airline fleets, and terrorism. Clearly written, this careful and systematic analysis of well over 15,000 individual aviation accidents will provide greater insight for government officials, aviation industrymanagers, and researchers, as well as laypeople and other frequent flyers.

Download or read book Emergency Locator Transmitter System Performance During Three Full Scale General Aviation Crash Tests written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full-scale crash tests were conducted on three Cessna 172 aircraft at NASA Langley Research Center's Landing and Impact Research facility during the summer of 2015. The purpose of the three tests was to evaluate the performance of commercially available Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) systems and support development of enhanced installation guidance. ELTs are used to provide location information to Search and Rescue (SAR) organizations in the event of an aviation distress situation, such as a crash. The crash tests simulated three differing severe but survivable crash conditions, in which it is expected that the onboard occupants have a reasonable chance of surviving the accident and would require assistance from SAR personnel. The first simulated an emergency landing onto a rigid surface, while the second and third simulated controlled flight into terrain. Multiple ELT systems were installed on each airplane according to federal regulations. The majority of the ELT systems performed nominally. In the systems which did not activate, post-test disassembly and inspection offered guidance for non-activation cause in some cases, while in others, no specific cause could be found. In a subset of installations purposely disregarding best practice guidelines, failure of the ELT-to-antenna cabling connections were found. Recommendations for enhanced installation guidance of ELT systems will be made to the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) Special Committee 229 for consideration for adoption in a future release of ELT minimum operational performance specifications. These recommendations will be based on the data gathered during this test series as well as a larger series of crash simulations using computer models that will be calibrated based on these data Littell, Justin D. and Stimson, Chad M.
