Aircraft Systems and Flight

Image
     In the aviation industry, hydraulic systems are an important part of the aircraft system for the smooth operation of the aircraft. Hydraulic systems are used to control machinery or move mechanical parts using fluids under pressure. The aircraft hydraulics are used on aircraft to operate most of their equipment, such as landing gears, brakes, flaps, thrust reversers, and flight controls. All aircraft use some element that is hydraulically powered due to the many benefits that this unit offers. Many years ago, the hydraulic system of the aircraft was used in the form of hydraulic brakes. Today, hydraulic systems become more common and essential. They operate control devices such as wing, landing gear, slats, flaps, and brakes.      What happens if an aircraft has a hydraulic failure? A simple hydraulic system consists of two pistons and an oil-filled cylinder connecting them. When one piston is pressed the liquid goes and exerts pressure on the other pi...

The Operating Environment and Aircraft Performance

When the weather was too hot with the temperature reaching 49 degrees or higher, the flight had to be delayed. The reason was simply that the plane was too hot to take off. For large Boing or Airbus, the maximum operating temperature is about 53 degrees Celsius, while smaller planes can only operate when the temperature does not exceed 48 degrees Celsius. hot air will have a lower density than cold air, so the aerodynamic lift when hot will also be lower than cold. The speed of the aircraft's take-off must be faster when it is hot to achieve the required aerodynamic lift. The lower the air density, the faster an airplane must travel to produce enough lift to take off. These hotter temperatures will reduce air density and make it much more likely weight restrictions are needed for flights taking off during the hottest parts of the day. The number of passengers and cargo that an airplane can carry in extreme heat is often limited. By removing passengers, luggage and cargo. This is re...

What Does Ethics in the Aviation Profession Mean to You?

Image
  According to Merriam-Webster, ethics means "the discipline dealing with what is good and bad and with moral duty and obligation" or "a set of moral principles." Ethics is difficult to define because each person has an ethical point of view. For me, ethics is a form of social consciousness that plays an important role in the development of society. Ethics is understood as a system of social rules and standards by which people voluntarily adjust their behavior to suit the interests of the community and society.  Ethics in the aviation industry is important for an organization or business in the aviation industry, each airline business needs a specific list of ethics. Many aviation companies have provided a code of ethics for employees to follow, which is important when doing maintenance or doing any work related to safety. Aviation is a transport economic field that applies modern and high-tech techniques with activities of high international character, associat...
