HANDLING THE TURBULENCE CASE MARC S. MOLLER* LoRi B. LASSON* I. INTRODUCTION S INCE THE WRIGHT brothers lifted off at Kitty Hawk, all pi- lots have encountered turbulent atmospheric conditions at some time or another. Courts, as well, have grappled with cases involving injuries sustained by passengers as a result of turbu- lence encounters since the 1930s. Although we have come a long way this century in understanding the phenomena of the effect of air turbulence on aircraft, determining airline liability for the injuries sustained by a passenger injured during the course of a turbulence encounter, particularly clear air turbu- lence, is still perplexing and remains the focus of a great deal of litigation. The litigation scenario usually involves a passenger injured in an unannounced turbulence encounter. The claim is denied, and the airline disclaims liability on one of two grounds: first, that the turbulence could not have been reasonably anticipated, or second, that the passenger failed to follow in-flight safety pre- cautions or abide by timely warnings.

  • 2. Díl – Tryskový Muž Aneb Jaké Je to Létat Jako Pták Poměrně Náročnou Otázkou Pro Mě Bylo, Kterým Zajímavým Projektem Nebo Rekordem Začít
    2. díl – Tryskový muž aneb jaké je to létat jako pták Poměrně náročnou otázkou pro mě bylo, kterým zajímavým projektem nebo rekordem začít. Vybírat je opravdu z čeho, protože svět letectví se žene kupředu závratným tempem, takže se ukázalo, že potíží není najít něco, o čem psát, ale naopak vybrat z ohromného množství to, čím začít. Po opravdu náročném rozmýšlení jsem nakonec dospěl k rozhodnutí, že seriál začnu představením toho, co v té nejčistší formě naplňuje odvěkou lidskou touhu létat. Jinak řečeno, začnu hned pěkně zostra. Let ptáků člověka inspiroval odedávna. Důkazy o tom nám poskytují již nejrůznější staré mýty. V průběhu staletí se objevovali vynálezci, kteří navrhovali létajicí aparáty, tu s větším, tu s menším úspěchem. Až konečně bratři Wrightové vstoupili na tu správnou cestu. Jejich následovníci po celém světě zkonstruovali ohromné množství letadel a létajicích zařízení. Žádné z nich však zcela nenaplňovalo onu odvěkou představu o letu, jakým se vyznačují ptáci. Ať už proto, že se člověk vzduchem pohyboval v kovovém obalu, pevně přikurtován k sedačce, jak je tomu v případě letadel, nebo proto, že i když se vzduchem proháněl podobně jako pták, bez nějakých vnějších schránek, bylo to naneštěstí vždy jen jedním směrem, jak by si mohli parašutisté postesknout. Pro dosažení naprosté svobody létání, jak ji zažívají ptáci, by se tedy měly oba tyto přístupy zkombinovat. Zachovat na jedné straně svobodu parašutisty, ale na druhé straně ji doplnit o schopnost plně řídit svůj let, jak jsme na to zvyklí u letadel. Tohoto zadání se chytil švýcarský pilot a dobrodruh – Yves Rossy, známý taktéž jako Jetman, Tryskový muž.

  • Aircraft Tracking: What Is Currently Available?
    Aircraft Tracking: What is currently available? Andrew Burton, 31 Dec 2014 With the third major commercial airline crash of 2014 where the aircraft could not be located for 48 hours or more, there is a growing discussion around the issue of real-time flight following of aircraft. There is a lot of conjecture from armchair experts about what could be done, and what is currently available, and why it isn’t being widely used. Apex Flight Operations and its predecessors have been involved in aircraft tracking since 2003, and we are uniquely positioned as both a hardware manufacturer and a flight tracking data accumulator to shed some light on what is currently available in the market. Firstly, there are three major types of aircraft tracking: traditional radar-based, ADS-B/ACARS and dedicated flight following – the majority of recent discussion around aircraft tracking has omitted this last type. There are also several new systems or planned improvements to existing systems that may bring increased oversight in the future. Traditional Radar-Based Tracking This has been the predominant means of tracking aircraft in real time globally until the advent of ADS-B, and remains the only means of flight following in areas with no or limited ADS-B coverage. It has major shortfalls in that tracking is only available when the aircraft is in range of the radar – the rest of the time the aircraft is estimated to be at a certain location based on expected speed on a planned flight path. It is now generally accepted that a better alternative needs to be urgently found.
