Download or read book The Crash of Piedmont Airlines Flight 22 written by Paul D. Houle and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against a backdrop of inadequate funding, misplaced priorities and a lack of manpower, American commercial aviation in the 1960s was in a perilous state. In July 1967, when a Piedmont Airlines Boeing 727 collided with a Cessna 310 over Hendersonville, North Carolina, killing 82 people, the industry was in crisis. Congress called hearings on aviation safety and government and union officials pressured President Lyndon Johnson to request increased funding for aviation safety. But the National Transportation Safety Board's probe into the crash was flawed from the start. The investigative team was made up of individuals whose companies had certain interests in the outcome. The lead investigator was the brother of the vice president of Piedmont Airlines. In an effort to shift blame from the government and Piedmont, critical conversations recorded on tape never made it into the NTSB's report. Maintenance and training records, as well as industry warnings of the 727's operational limitations, were also omitted. This book reveals the true story of the investigation: what was left out and why.

Download or read book Deadly Turbulence written by Steve Pollock and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jet airliner operations in the United States began in 1958, bringing, it was thought, a new era of fast, high, safe, smooth, sophisticated travel. But almost immediately, the new aircraft were involved in incidents and accidents that showed jets created new problems even as they solved old ones. This book discusses five disasters or near-disasters of the early Jet Age, experiences which shook the industry, regulators and public out of early complacency and helped build a more realistic foundation for safer air transportation. Special attention is paid to the 1966 destruction of Braniff International Airways Flight 250 in Nebraska. Nearly two years of inquiry helped advance the understanding of jet operations in severe weather and saw the first use of cockpit voice recorder technology in an aviation accident investigation. In addition, a University of Chicago professor, Dr. Tetsuya "Ted" Fujita, conducted a more intensive investigation of the weather system which downed Flight 250. Dr. Fujita's already extensive knowledge of thunderstorms and tornadoes led to his creation of the Fujita Scale of Tornado Intensity, the F-scale that we hear about so frequently during storm season.

Download or read book Boeing 707 Douglas DC 8 Vickers VC10 written by Stewart Wilson and published by Australian Aviation. This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boeing claimed the 707 as the airplane that made the world smaller and horizons larger. The DC-8 was developed a little later than the 707 and as a result was always playing catch up. Despite being a fine aircraft, the VC10 was too late to seriously challenge the 707 and DC-8, but today soldiers on in military service with the RAF as tankers and transports. This detailed work is filled with highlights of each aircrafts development plus a broad overview of its operational history. Legends of the Air 6.

Download or read book Boeing CC137 written by Anthony L. Stachiw and published by St. Catharines, Ont. : Vanwell. This book was released on 2003-10-30 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its introduction into service in 1970 until its retirement in 1997, the Boeing CC137 showed the Canadian flag worldwide. Operation as a cargo carrier, passenger transport, VIP transport, and as an aerial refuelling tanker in support of CF-5 Freedom Fighter and later, CF-18 Hornet operational deployment, the fleet of five aircraft performed yeoman service for the Canadian military. Support of United Nations humanitarian operations was another highly visible application of this very adaptable aircraft. Operated by 437(T) Squadron from its base at CFB Trenton, the CC137 was in the forefront of the many and varied tasks that the Canadian Forces undertook over the years that the aircraft was in service. When the last two CC137s were replaced by the CC150 Polaris, the surplus aircraft were sold off, and three of them still soldier on as the E-8 JSTARS aircraft of the USAF.
