Explanation & Answer

Hello, your work is complete. Please have a look at it and let me know if you need any correction before you submit it.The other file is just an outline on the same. You can choose to ignore it.

Aviation safety




The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has a critical goal of ensuring aviation
safety (Hunter, 2017). ICAO is continuously collaborating closely with the whole air transport
community (including the FAA), for further improvement of aviation principles and safety.
Aviation safety aims to prevent accidents from happening, in addition to other negative
incidences in the aviation sector

Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 accident




The was a schedule for the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 to fly from Bole International Airport
in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to JKI airport in Nairobi, Kenya. The Boeing 737 MAX 8 crashed
close to a small town known as Bishoftu on 10th March 2019 (Safe, 2019).
This was about six minutes after it had taken off, leading to the death of 157 individuals on
board. This was the most fatal accident in the history of Ethiopian Airlines

FARs involved




The FAA has the responsibility of recommending minimum standards necessitated for
upkeeping the safety of the assembly, design, work quality, materials, and performance of
airplanes, airplane engines, and the propellers.
Product authorization is a regulatory procedure conducted by the FAA for ensuring that an
airplane product from manufacture obeys the Federal Aviation Regulations

NTSB findings and recommendations




In 2012, as a section of the MCAS production phase, Boeing undertook a preliminary
functional threat evaluation of MCAS utilizing simulations from their complete motion EF
simulator. The findings were recorded in an internal Boeing documentation (MCAS
necessities document).
Various hazards were analyzed during this time, but this report section will pay attention to
only two hazards, which include the un-commanded MCAS maneuver until its maximum
authorization, and the un-commanded MCAS maneuver to a 3-second stabilizer trim
runaway.

Effect of FARs




In section five of the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Regulations and Standards, it indicates that
Ethiopia conforms to the type certifications provided by the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA)
of the U.S.A.
The appropriate subsections in FAR linked with airplane certification necessities are mostly
covered in part 25 of the FAR. This section highlights airworthiness guidelines for the
provision of TC, and alterations to those certifications, for transport-category aircraft

Conclusion



First, the MCAS design ought to consider the utilization of information from both angles of
attack and other autonomous frameworks for redundancy.
Secondly, the controller will affirm every reasonable justification of failure has been thought
of during practical threat appraisal. Thirdly, the manufacturer will guarantee the base
operational velocity calculated by the SMYD.

Abstract

Aviation accidents are rarely caused by one failure. They are usually an accumulation
of various casual elements that build up systematically, leading to a major catastrophe or
incidence. That is why aviation safety is very essential for the success and viability of air
travel. This paper has analyzed the aviation safety and the various regulations that are
responsible for ensuring that aircraft are safe means of transport. It has looked into the
Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 accident that happened en route from Ethiopia to Kenya, killing
157 passengers and crew members. By analyzing this aviation disaster, the paper has
highlighted the various regulations involved with the airline and aircraft. It has also included
the NTSB findings and recommendations for this particular crash, which are important for
limiting the chances of such a crash ever occurring again.

Aviation safety

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has a critical goal of ensuring
aviation safety (Hunter, 2017). ICAO is continuously collaborating closely with the whole air
transport community (including the FAA), for further improvement of aviation principles and
safety. Aviation safety aims to prevent accidents from happening, in addition to other
negative incidences in the aviation sector. Indeed, safety is no accident. Almost always, an
aviation accident or incident is never by accident (Hunter, 2017). There are usually numerous
tell-tale signs in the phases before the accident that could easily be recognized and corrected
in time.

Additionally, accidents are rarely the outcome of one failure. Commonly, it is the
amalgamation of numerous causal elements that build up chronologically, converging into a
point in time, where a final factor leads to the overlay of every disastrous barrier. It is
normally, a case of one error or omission, that finds unhindered channel via a thread of
absent, inefficient or failed hindrances. The notion is to disrupt the connection in the chain
prompting an unwanted and unsafe result.

To ensure that passengers and crew are safe during a flight, safety is the priority. It is
essential since human life is involved in all operations of an aircraft. Safety should always be
the priority in all airlines regardless of the transportation aspect involved. When aviation
safety is poorly managed, it not only leads to the destruction of highly valuable aircraft but
also leads to the loss of numerous human lives. Without safety, the aviation industry could
not possibly exist. This industry is a highly intricate business, involving the contribution of
individuals from all spheres of the globe.

The various agencies, such as the manufacturers, ground support, passengers,
maintenance crew, ATC, and the flight crews, have a role to play as aircraft take off and land.
This is accomplished via a multifaceted system of processes that avert mistakes and
omissions in addition to procedures that are established for capturing such lapses. Individuals
work around equipment and settings that could potentially be hazardous. This safety involves
operating the aircraft safely in addition to ensuring that the personnel involved in all
operations are safe

Aircraft Design Deliberation

In the design of an aircraft, safety is always considered first. There is a backup for all
aircraft systems essential for operating an airplane safely. In various instances, some have
two or more backups. For instance, airp...
