Factors That Cause Difficulty In Searching For Missing Aircraft Case Study

1. Factors that cause Difficulty in Searching for Missing Aircraft (MH370)
1.1 Unknown Flight Path
To locate the location of the missing aircraft MH370, there is a need to first know the routes that the plane had flown. The Malaysian military radar had tracked that the plane had turn west off its intended flight route after the final radio message made by the pilot in the cockpit. This change of direction, turning west, made it much more difficult to track the location of the plane especially when the ACARS appeared to have been stopped functioning just before the final radio message and the transponder appeared to have been switched off around the time of the turn. (The Economist, 2014)
In addition, despite transmission of data had stopped,
But this will result in having huge amount of data created and these data might get very difficult to monitor and analyse. So with this proposal, there might need to hire professionals who are able to efficiently organise, monitor and analyse all the data being received.
3.2 Difficulties with Live Voice Transmissions or a “skycam” in the Cockpit
The idea of live voice transmissions or a “skycam” in the cockpit means that the routine conversations between the pilots or captains and the cabin crews will be overheard from far away. This proposal might contribute stress to the pilots and cabin crews because every sound they make are being overheard. It will be represented negatively from the pilots and cabin crew point of view that they are members who cannot be trusted and that they lack the responsibility with their job, thus there is a need to have this proposal acting as a “surpervisor”.
4. Low Cost
Hence, this gives members of general public the impression that the aircraft is bad and is why the FSCs decided to sell away the aircraft to LCCs. They think that all the aircraft in LCCs are second-hand and of bad quality. However, that is not true. LCCs operate the same types of aircraft as FSCs. LCCs also have their own new modern aircraft which have the latest safety mechanisms and procedures. (Budget Airline Guide, 2006) They ensure that their aircraft are safe enough to carry passengers and that safety is certainly not sacrificed to earn revenue and covering of cost. They know that the level of safety will affect the success of their business and thus, will ensure that they meet the standards for
