This course introduces participants to the regulatory foundations of aircraft accident investigation and investigative techniques specific to major accident investigations.This course covers the technical aspects of the aircraft accident investigation process starting with preparation for investigation through report writing. Particular emphasis is placed on the study of human factors and survival investigative techniques and the application of accident investigation findings in industry and research. A critical analysis of selected aircraft accidents and an evaluation of causal factors are covered.Participants will have the opportunity to practice evidence collection techniques via the first of its kind Virtual Aircraft Crash Lab. A critical analysis of selected aircraft accidents and an evaluation of causal factors are covered.A study of the elements of aircraft accident investigation is essential to continued improvements in aviation safety programs and is applicable to any industry with a aviation component. This course is designed to provide you with the need for a comprehensive investigation process, the relationship of human factors in mishaps, an awareness of identifying risk and problem areas before an accident occurs, and an evaluation of causal factors and recommendations to industry.
"What's happening with my flight?!" Get a behind the scenes look at the planning and coordination required to safely and efficiently transport 850 million U.S. passengers annually on 9 million airline flights. The logistics are astounding!
Did you ever wonder what keeps an airplane in the sky or how it lands? Well, the science behind it is called aeronautics and in this course we explore aviation from takeoff to landing and some interesting things in between!
Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) - Key Concepts for New Users is presented by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the world's largest, fully accredited university specializing in aviation and aerospace. Whether you are flying for fun or for a commercial enterprise, this course will introduce you to key concepts related to sUAS, including basic types, capabilities, and current and future uses. Particular emphasis is placed on safety within the National Airspace System (NAS), including where to fly and where to find flight planning tools. The MOOC also introduces the FAA's new regulations (FAA Part 107) and will focus participants toward possible certification, regulations and flight planning considerations.This course is for both novice and seasoned sUAS enthusiasts.OBJECTIVESUpon successful completion of all components of the course, you should be able to:Describe the basic types of sUAS and their capabilities.Discuss the sUAS operating environment, including the National Airspace System (NAS).Discover the basic dos and don'ts of sUAS/recreational drone operations.Identify regulatory requirements for remote pilot certifications.Recognize requirements for planning safe sUAS flights.
Whereas some accidents are caused by aircraft mechanical failures, others can be traced to psychological or physiological elements, such as pilot fatigue, loss of situational awareness, or maintenance issues. This course will emphasize the following topics: human performance, benefits of training, advanced technology, automation, and situational awareness with the goal of enhancing safety throughout the aviation environment.OBJECTIVESThe objective of this course is to introduce the participant to the field of Human Factors in Aviation. Upon completion of the course, the participant should be able to define human factors, identify relevant areas of application of human factors in aviation and other industries, and gain an appreciation of the importance of the human component and the human systems approach to aviation and aviation safety.
