the current and forecast weather conditions for safety reasons. Accidents have occurred due to flying in bad weather such as thunderstorms with low level wind sheer‚ lightning‚ hale‚ icing conditions and poor visibility. Poor weather especially icing can be very dangerous to flight but most accidents can be avoided if the right precautions are taken to avoid potential bad weather situations. I will take a closer look at icing conditions on aircraft and give examples of icing related accidents

MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT The term ‘maintenance’ means to keep the equipment in operational condition or repair it to its operational mode. Main objective of the maintenance is to have increased availability of production systems‚ with increased safety and optimized cost. Maintenance management involves managing the functions of maintenance. Maintaining equipment in the field has been a challenging task since the beginning of industrial revolution. Since then‚ a significant of progress has been made

major weather hazards that cause a number of aircraft accidents. It is a hazard that can snowball out of control and cause problems such as reduce aircraft efficiency by increasing weight‚ reduce lift‚ decrease thrust and increase drag. These effects can cause the aircraft to increase stalling speed or cause the aircraft to force downward in flight. Over the years‚ aircraft engines and airframes have changed dramatically. Modern day aircraft are aerodynamically less accepting of airfoil

Introduction: Aircraft systems are amalgam of different systems within systems. Among many other system‚ Environmental control system is an important system of an aircraft which provide the aircraft with the basic necessities of maintaining comfortable atmosphere for passengers. In specific terms‚ it is the system which provides conditioned air supply‚ temperature control and optimum pressurization of cabin for both crew and passengers. Besides‚ some other functions like fire detection and suppression

Aircraft Winglets Many of us who fly regularly have most probably seen a so-called winglet or wingtip device at the end of the wing of an airliner at least once. It is showing up more and more often on more and more types of aircraft‚ thus we felt it’s time to give an overview to our readers about these sometimes funny‚ sometimes cool and stylish looking aircraft parts. History‚ Reason and Benefits The initial theoretical concept goes back to times before even the Wright Brothers first took to

TABLE OF CONTENT INTRODUCTION This report looks through basic description of aircraft motions using standard terminologies such as stability‚ control and modes of flight. This also influences various controls and components on keeping the aircraft in its desired flight path with the aid of an explanation on the purpose of the design features of high-speed aircraft parts. Furthermore‚ as fluid dynamics refers to the relationship between fluid and an object‚ that is passing through it.
