Ethics in Aviation

 The Environmental Control System The Environmental Control System is made up of subsystems that help maintain the air pressure, and allow the aircrafts atmosphere to be comfortable for people, avionics systems in the aircraft, and other possible items that may be on board (Ruch, 2017). During a partial failure of the Environmental Control System, depressurization of the cockpit and cabin can happen relatively fast or even gradually slow (Skybrary, 2021). Additionally, a partial failure can result in the loss of the ability for pilots of receiving oxygen through the subsystem of the Environmental Control System called Onboard Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS) (Skybrary, 2021). This can result with pilots and cabin members of experiencing a further emergency called hypoxia due to the lack of oxygen going to the brain while in the air (Skybrary, 2021).  During a complete failure of the Environmental Control System, the Onboard Oxygen Generating System will fail causing the p...

 Environmental Effects on Airplanes An environmental effect that may affect aircraft performance while flying can certainly be high gust of wind. The different types of wind that can affect the aircraft's mobility and stability can be headwind, tailwind, and crosswinds (Southern Wings, 2015). For example, a headwind will be good for an aircraft during takeoff as it will allow the aircraft to have an increase of lift meaning the aircraft will need less time to get into the air (Southern Wings, 2015). On the other hand when an aircraft is flying and getting ready to land, crosswinds and tailwinds can make landing quite challenging where landing may not be granted if over such limits (Southern Wings, 2015). Gusts of wind that change abruptly and quickly are very dangerous as it can rapidly change an aircraft's lift (Southern Wings, 2015). Altimeters, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator are all tools pilots use to deal with heavy winds in these certain conditions (Sout...

ETHICS IN AVIATION I think ethics is a huge deal, and plays a massive role in the aviation. Ethics is doing the right thing when no one is looking. Ethical standards are performing the maintenance, or flying an aircraft by the book all the time to reduce mishaps since shortcuts were not taken. Being that I currently work in aviation maintenance in the Navy, you always hear " perform the maintenance by the book" where you have a moral obligation to perform your duties to the best of your ability as the instruction displays to prevent people from getting hurt or possibly dying. I believe ethics go hand in hand with morals as your morals should drive you to do what is right at all times. Aviation is inherently dangerous and maintenance division of personnel with high ethical standards can provide way for safe flights and other operations. For example, " Professionalism and safety go hand in hand, so both need to be part of the culture and mindset of an organization"(Fe...
