Commercial Jet Hull Losses, Fatalities Rose Sharply in 2005

Effect of Some Meteorological Parameters of Aviation Operations in Port Harcourt International Airport Nigeria
International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 11, Issue 11, November-2020 89 ISSN 2229-5518 Effect of some Meteorological Parameters of Aviation Operations in Port Harcourt International Airport Nigeria PEPPLE, S. B.K; Ideriah T.J.K; Gobo A.E RIVERS STATE UNIVERSITY, NKPOLU-OROWORUKWO PORT HARCOURT INSTITUTE OF GEOSCIENCES AND SPACE TECHNOLOGY Abstract The study assessed trends of meteorological parameters and aviation operations in Port Harcourt International Airport. Records of rainfall, thunderstorm, wind speed, fog, pressure and temperature and three aspects of flight operations (flight diversions, delays and cancellations) from 2010-2018 were collected from secondary source. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the trend of the meteorological parameters as predictors of aviation operations. The findings of the study showed that flight operations experienced more disruptions during dry season; weather elements such as rainfall, thunderstorm, fog and pressure have significant effects on flight operations between 2010 and 2018. The study also showed that when combined, the meteorological factors can be used to predict flight cancellations at 95% confidence level. The study therefore recommends the installation of precise equipment that will enable accurate prediction of weather in airports as well as in other strategic locations across the country. 1. INTRODUCTION Airline operations began in the 1980s at the Port Harcourt International Airport. It was closed in August 2006 due to emergency and reopened later in December, 2007 with limited capacity. The single asphalt-surfaceIJSER runway measures 9,846ft in length and 197ft in width. Meteorological parameters influence a vast aspect of aviation and its operations. Aircraft safety, efficiency and capacity are susceptible to environmental conditions chiefly as a result of adverse meteorological impacts on aircraft operations (Sasse and Hauf, 2003). -

These statistics are presented in two distinct sections called; Statistical Accidents, which outlines hull loss, substantial damage, fatal injury and serious injury accidents; and Excluded Events, outlining hostile actions, and non-hostile events. Not covered in this document are airplanes manufactured in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) (former Soviet Union), which are excluded because of the lack of operational data. -
Aviation Human Factors Industry News November 8, 2006 FAA
Aviation Human Factors Industry News November 8, 2006 Vol. II, Issue 39 FAA International Aviation Safety Forum Third annual FAA International Aviation Safety Forum took place last week in Washington and some 500 aviation professionals from 50 countries shared their concerns about the challenges in maintaining safety standards in increasingly crowded skies. "Right now, the commercial fatal accident rate in the US is about two fatal accidents for every 10 million takeoffs," FAA Administrator Marion Blakey said. "The forecasts anticipate that we should expect a doubling or tripling of the amount of traffic in the system over the next 10 to 20 years." She noted that passenger numbers will climb past 1 billion by 2015. At the same time, there could be an influx of 5,000 VLJs and a substantial increase in the number of fractional ownership jets. "I'm convinced that many accidents could have been prevented if ICAO safety standards had been implemented," ICAO Council President Roberto Kobeh Gonzalez said, adding that the organization will focus on safety programs that have had "identifiable results." IATA CEO and DG Giovanni Bisignani said, "We have to do more," citing particular concerns for safety in Latin America, Russia and Africa. "We have to recognize that we have a big problem in some areas of the world." He emphasized the need for professional training and standardized rules and procedures along with new technology for ATC systems.

Evaluation of the Effects of Low Horizontal Visibility on Flight Operations in Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja
International Journal of Environmental Design & Construction Management Vol. 18 No. 4 Published by Cambridge Research and Publications March, 2020. EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF LOW HORIZONTAL VISIBILITY ON FLIGHT OPERATIONS IN NNAMDI AZIKIWE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, ABUJA. 1IORNONGO TERSEER, 2T.I YAHAYA, JIYA SAMUEL BABANMA3 ISAH JIBRIN MASHA4 1, 2 Department of Geography, Federal University of Technology Minna 3,4Department of Geography, Niger State College of Education, Minna. Abstract The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of low horizontal visibility on flight operations in Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja, Nigeria. The data for low horizontal visibility frequency (2009-2018) were collected from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET), while the data for flight operations and Air accident were obtained from the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) and AIB (Accident Investigation Bureau) respectively. The linear regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between the selected weather parameter and flight operations in the study area, it was achieved with the use of the data analysis pack of the Microsoft excel program. To compare the relationship between the weather element (visibility) and air accidents at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja, the linear regression analysis was also used to determine the degree of relationship that exists between these two variables of interest. The time series plot of monthly total of visibility and monthly average of visibility shows that the poor visibility at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport occurred during dry seasons i.e mostly January and December period under the years of study. The lowest occurred in the month of January. The trend in visibility in the study area in an annual and monthly basis both have a negative trend which means that visibility on annual and monthly basis are decreasing. -
