Air France 447 Transcript
What Really Happened Aboard Air France 447 Craig E. Geis, M.B.A., M.A. Psychology This case is designed to accompany the Heliprops article: The Effects of Stress on Our Physiological, Perceptual, and Cognitive Performance Permission for the use of this article comes from the author, Jeff Wise. Jeff is a science writer, outdoor adventurer, and pilot of airplanes and gliders. A contributing editor at Popular Mechanics, he has also written for The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Popular Science, Men's Journal, and many others. In December, 2009, he published his first book of psychology, Extreme Fear: The Science of Your Mind in Danger. To learn more about his writings and career visit his web site, the Jeff Wise Blog, at www.jeffwise.net. There is still a great deal of controversy over this accident and my point is not to argue facts or try to determine a root cause for the accident but to use this article to demonstrate the principles we have been looking at in the series of articles. Read the case completely. Stop when you see a number (1) and read my comments which are in bold. The footnote numbers in this article are also referenced in the article: The Effects of Stress on Our Physiological, Perceptual, and Cognitive Performance . We are not trying to figure out what the crew should have done but why they may have done what they did. Much of what has been written about this accident mentions the inexperienced crew and their lack of training. Experience and training are very subjective. -
Crew Resource Management in Aviation: the Analysis of the Air France Flight 447 Crash
Journal of Organizational Behavior Review Cilt/Vol.: 2, Sayı/Is.:2 (JOB Review) Yıl/Year: 2020, Sayfa/Pages: 172-200 Başvuru Tarihi: 24.06.2020 Kabul Tarihi: 07.07.2020 Araştırma Makalesi/Research Article Crew Resource Management in Aviation: The Analysis of the Air France Flight 447 Crash Seda ŞENOL1 Aslı BEYHAN ACAR2 Abstract 01 June 2009, the Air France Flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic on a night flight from Rio to Paris. The aim of the research is to analyze and evaluate the Air France 447 Crash in the context of crew resource management practices. Crew resource management refers to the appropriate use of technical and non- technical skills and all available resources. In the research, the qualitative research case study method using the intensive description and analysis of a phenomenon or social unit was used. The case, Air France Flight 447, occurded in 2009 and accident report was completed in 2012. The accident report (BEA, 2012) and National Geographic - Air France Flight 447 Documentary HD were examined through document analysis. The data obtained from the documents were analyzed by content analysis method. The research examined with crew resource management skills, which is designated as the communication, situational awareness, team work, decision making, leadership, and personal limitations. As a result, the biggest share of the accident is seen as the “human factor”.

The Emergence and Effects of the Ultra-Low Cost Carrier (ULCC) Business Model in the U.S. Airline Industry
The Emergence and Effects of the Ultra-Low Cost Carrier (ULCC) Business Model in the U.S. Airline Industry Alexander R. Bachwicha,∗, Michael D. Wittmana aMassachusetts Institute of Technology, International Center for Air Transportation 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Building 35-217, Cambridge, MA 02139 Abstract The effects of \low-cost carriers" (LCCs) such as Southwest Airlines and JetBlue Airways on the competitive landscape of the U.S. airline industry have been thoroughly documented in the academic literature and the popular press. However, the more recent emergence of another distinct airline business model|the \ultra-low-cost carrier" (ULCC)|has received considerably less attention. By focusing on cost efficiencies and unbundled service offerings, the ULCCs have been able to undercut the fares of both traditional network and low-cost carriers in the markets they serve. In this paper, we conduct an analysis of ULCCs in the U.S. aviation industry and demonstrate how these carriers' business models, costs, and effects on air transportation markets differ from those of the traditional LCCs. We first describe the factors that have enabled ULCCs to achieve a cost advantage over traditional LCCs and network legacy carriers. Then, using econometric models, we examine the effects of ULCC and LCC presence, entry, and exit on base airfares in 3,004 U.S. air transportation markets from 2010 { 2015. We find that in 2015, ULCC presence in a market was associated with market base fares 21% lower than average, as compared to an 8% average reduction for LCC presence. We also find that while ULCC and LCC entry both result in a 14% average reduction in fares one year after entry, ULCCs are three times as likely to abandon a market within two years of entry than are the LCCs. -

Eaton, Chief, Expendable Launch Vehicle Programs National Aeronautics and Space Administration J. D. Kraft, Delta Mission Analysis and Integration Manager, National Aeronautics and Space Administration ABSTRACT An important exploration of eosnie x-ray sources currently under wey Wan made possible by a unique example of international cooperation. The EXOSAT spacecraft, designed, developed, qualified, and prepared for launch by the European Space Agency (ESA), was successfully launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Delta launch vehicle in May 1983* EXOSAT was originally scheduled for launch on the European Ariane rocket, but due to unforeseen schedule realignments, ESA, in cooperation with NASA, selected the Delta for this mission in February 1983.
