  • The Impact of the First Officer Qualification Ruling: Pilot Performance in Initial Training
    Available online at http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/jate Journal of Aviation Technology and Engineering 5:1 (2015) 25–32 The Impact of the First Officer Qualification Ruling: Pilot Performance in Initial Training Nancy R. Shane (University of North Dakota) Abstract The intent of the First Officer Qualification (FOQ) ruling was to improve the quality of first officers flying for Part 121 carriers. In order to test this, a study was completed at a regional carrier to compare pilots hired prior to the FOQ ruling with those hired after the FOQ ruling. The study compared 232 pilots hired from 2005–2008 with 184 pilots hired from August 2013–November 2014. The pilots’ date of hire as compared to the date the FOQ ruling went into effect defined the input (Source) variable. Initial training defined the output (Success) variables. The airline name and all identifying information were removed from the data set. The pilots were compared in three areas: total flight hours, training completion and extra training events. The results of the study show that, while pilots hired after the FOQ ruling had a significantly higher number of total flight hours, that group was more likely to need additional training and less likely to successfully complete training than those who were hired prior to FOQ. The study shows that there may have been some unintended consequences of the FOQ ruling and that more extensive research is needed to confirm that these results are representative of regional carriers across the industry. Keywords: air carrier, aviation degree, first officer, first officer qualification, flight hours, flight instructor, Part 61, Part 121, pilot certification, pilot source study, pilot training, regional airline On February 12, 2009, a Colgan Airways Q400 crashed in bad weather on approach to Buffalo Niagara International Airport (National Transportation Safety Board, 2010).

  • How Become an Airline Pilot Handout
    Becoming an Airline Pilot Taken from the following article found here: http://www.wikihow.com/Become-an-Airline-Pilot 1) Get a four-year college degree. While a college degree is not required to fly for any of the regional airlines in the United States, a four year degree is required to fly for a major US airline. It's preferable to get a Bachelor of Science degree with an emphasis in aviation (but your degree doesn't necessarily have to be aviation related). Airline pilot training is intense and expensive. A college degree helps to demonstrate to the airline that you will be capable of completing their education program. 2) Look around your local area for a good flight school and flight instructor to begin working on your private pilot certificate. The FAA minimum flight time is 40 hours, but the average is around 60. Schools with FAA oversight can be more desirable if you want a highly regimented training program. 3) Get a First Class medical certificate from a Federal Aviation Administration medical examiner. It is better to apply for a first class medical the first time you apply for a medical certificate to be sure you will qualify for one before you have invested too much time and money into your new career choice. After you earn your private pilot license, begin working on your instrument rating and commercial certificate. An instrument rating requires 50 hours of cross country Pilot-in-Command (PIC) and 40 hours of actual or simulated instrument conditions. For the commercial certificate, you will need 250 hours total time, 100 hours PIC, 50 hours cross country, and 10 hours of dual instruction in a complex aircraft.

  • National Transportation Safety Board
    National Transportation Safety Board Airport Runway Accidents, Serious Incidents, Recommendations, and Statistics Deadliest Runway Accidents ● Tenerife, Canary Islands, March 27, 1977 (583 fatalities). The world’s deadliest runway accident occurred on March 27, 1977, when Pan Am (PAA) flight 1736, a Boeing 747, and KLM4805, a Boeing 747, collided on runway 12 at Tenerife, Canary Islands, killing 583 passengers and crew. KLM4805 departed runway 12 without a takeoff clearance colliding with PAA1736 that was taxiing on the same runway during instrument meteorological conditions. The Spanish government determined the cause was: “The KLM aircraft had taken off without take-off clearance, in the absolute conviction that this clearance had been obtained, which was the result of a misunderstanding between the tower and the KLM aircraft. This misunderstanding had arisen from the mutual use of usual terminology which, however, gave rise to misinterpretation. In combination with a number of other coinciding circumstances, the premature take-off of the KLM aircraft resulted in a collision with the Pan Am aircraft, because the latter was still on the runway since it had missed the correct intersection.” ● Lexington, Kentucky, August 27, 2006 (49 fatalities). The deadliest runway accident in the United States occurred on August 27, 2006, at about 0606 eastern daylight time when Comair flight 5191, a Bombardier CL-600-2B19, N431CA, crashed during takeoff from Blue Grass Airport, Lexington, Kentucky. The flight crew was instructed to take off from runway 22 but instead lined up the airplane on runway 26 and began the takeoff roll. The airplane ran off the end of the runway and impacted the airport perimeter fence, trees, and terrain.

  • Looking for a Career Where the Sky Is the Limit?
    LOOKING FOR A CAREER WHERE THE SKY IS THE LIMIT? Airline Pilot Career Information Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l 1 FOREWORD The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) has prepared this booklet for young men and women interested in aviation careers. We hope this information will be helpful to you as you plan for your future. The commercial airline pilot is a member of a proud and demanding profession. The amount of training needed, and the expense of that training, is comparable to the training for a physician. This is understand- able because pilots are responsible for many human lives—sometimes more than 400 passengers on one flight. ALPA pilots are intensely aware of their responsibility. Although they consider the comfort and convenience of their passengers important, they uphold safety as their paramount concern. If you are looking for a career where the sky is the limit, this information can provide you with many of the facts necessary to decide whether becoming an airline pilot is in your future.
