This assignment is a test of your ability to design and construct a basic questionnaire and write-up how you did so in a style consistent with a journal article. This assignment will be marked out of 100 and will account for 40% of the overall marks for this paper. Make sure you read through this assignment and fully understand what is required of you.
Assignment background/rationale
Evaluating current practices or whether changes to current practices have had positive outcomes is something that is important in aviation. Thus, at some time in your careers in aviation management, you may want to construct and administer a questionnaire and report on your findings afterwards.

Outcome
You must write-up this assignment in a style consistent with that suitable for publication in an academic journal. You should therefore begin with an ‘introduction’ section, in which you outline why ‘level of satisfaction’ with a flight is an
