This book was released on 2014-02-19 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lesson will discuss the basic building blocks of the atmosphere, beginning with the lower layers in which most flight activity occurs. These layers have particular temperature characteristics that affect many aspects of weather, and thus are important to the understanding of later chapters. Pressure is another characteristic of the atmosphere which enables meteorologists to track weather phenomena as they move across the surface of the earth. Additionally, pressure is important to the aviation community since one of the most basic flight instruments, the barometric altimeter, operates from the action of atmospheric pressure upon its sensors. In order to gain a complete understanding of the altimeter, the effects of temperature and pressure variations on altimeter readings will also be discussed.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defense Acquisition Pilot Programs (DAPPs) were established to jump-start the initiatives outlined in the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) of 1994. DAPPs were provided legislative authority to implement the provisions of FASA before they were published in regulations, authority to use the commercial item exemptions for non-commercial items and were also given expedited deviation authority from the FAR/DFARS and the DOD 5000 series regulations. The Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) was designated a pilot program by the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition Reform. The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) acquisition and describe, if any, the results of acquisition reform on program effectiveness, cost, schedule, and performance. Eleven metrics were established by the JPATS program and then measured against established baseline programs to derive quantitative savings attributed to implementing acquisition reform. An analysis of those metrics concludes acquisition reform is having mixed results on this program. Only two measures seem successful indicators of acquisition reform, while the remaining nine seem to indicate more success is being realized from applying acquisition program management reform efforts highlighted in DOD directives than statutory and regulatory relief provided DAPPs.

Military and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-13 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of a series of systems engineering case studies prepared by the Air Force Center for Systems Engineering. This case study analyzes the T-6A Texan II, a derivative of a commercial aircraft, the PC-9, manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft, a company located in Switzerland. In addition to the United States Air Force, the primary users of the PC-9 are the Swiss Air Force, Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Saudi Air Force, Royal Thai Air Force, and Irish Air Corps. First flight of the PC-9 prototype occurred on May 7, 1984, with certification being obtained in September 1985. The Department of Defense is exponentially increasing the acquisition of joint complex systems that deliver needed capabilities demanded by our warfighter. Systems engineering is the technical and technical management process that focuses explicitly on delivering and sustaining robust, high-quality, affordable solutions. The Air Force leadership has collectively stated the need to mature a sound systems engineering process throughout the Air Force. Gaining an understanding of the past and distilling learning principles that are then shared with others through our formal education and practitioner support are critical to achieving continuous improvement. These cases support academic instruction on SE within military service academies, civilian and military graduate schools, industry continuing education programs, and those practicing SE in the field. Each of the case studies is comprised of elements of success as well as examples of SE decisions that, in hindsight, were not optimal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force and the Navy plan to spend $4 billion on a new aircraft, referred to as the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS), to train entry level pilots how to fly. We reviewed (1) the services' calculations of the quantity of JPATS aircraft needed to meet training requirements, (2) the impact of the Department of Defense's (DOD) procurement schedule on the aircraft's unit price, and (3) service efforts to design the JPATS cockpit to accommodate female pilots.
Download or read book Contracting Out Undergraduate Pilot Training written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense has developed the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) as a modern aircraft for use in initial pilot training. The Air Force is committed to using JPATS, while the Navy intends to delay procurement while continuing to use the T-34. Because of the Navy's decision to continue using the T-34 to train its undergraduate pilots and a recent history of reduced defense spending, the time appears right to determine the most cost-effective way of meeting the Navy's long-term needs for initial pilot training. Although there are a number of ways of meeting these needs, contracting out deserves serious consideration. In this document, we look into the feasibility of contracting out the primary phase of Navy undergraduate pilot training (UPT).
Download or read book American Military Training Aircraft written by E.R. Johnson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. did not become the world's foremost military air power by accident. The learning curve--World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and more recently the war on terror--has been steep. While climbing this curve, the U.S. has not only produced superior military aircraft in greater numbers than its foes, but has--in due course--out-trained them, too. This book provides a comprehensive historical survey of U.S. military training aircraft, including technical specifications, drawings and photographs of each type of fixed and rotary-wing design used over a 98-year period to accomplish the first step of the learning process: the training of pilots and aircrews.
