Aviation Security

 

Today, one of the aviation problems occurring in some countries is the smuggling of goods via air. The tricks of the air traffickers are always very sophisticated. If in the past, the subject often used the trick of following people, now there have been many cases where the goods went on the trip, the owner of the goods went on another trip.  Or there is a case of sharing the same flight, but people sit in one place, and the goods are left in another position. When the functional forces discovered it, it was considered derelict goods.  One of the notable problems of smuggling by air is that there are many rare and quarterly cases of great value. In which, it is common to buy goods in foreign countries and send them to a third country for sale. Goods cannot provide documents, in addition to the situation of goods tax evasion. Some objects to avoid detection should only transport goods in small amounts in the form of gifts each time. Smuggled goods are usually compact and have high economic value such as gold, foreign currency, wildlife products such as ivory or rhinoceros' horn, cosmetics, medicines, dietary supplements, electronics, foreign alcohol, cigars. 

In order to promptly detect and arrest when there is smuggling and illegal transportation of goods by air. It is necessary to closely inspect and review the aviation security inspection and screening process at airports and aerodromes to promptly detect loopholes promptly and take remedial and corrective measures. Strictly control people, vehicles, objects entering, leaving, and operating in restricted areas of airports and airfields. The aviation security departments of the airline need to focus on analyzing and assessing the situation, determining the key point on time, flight, flight segment, objects, methods, and tricks of operation to coordinate with the airline. Customs forces and aviation security control forces take measures to strictly inspect flight and specific objects in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the unit.
This is one of the serious problems in the aviation industry in some Asian countries.

Team-Based Human Factors Challenges

 In the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Human Factors is defined as a “multidisciplinary effort to generate and compile information about human capabilities and limitations and apply that information to equipment, systems, facilities, procedures, jobs, environments, training, staffing, and personnel management for safe, comfortable, and effective human performance” (FAA Order 9550.8A). FAA human factors researchers seek to understand the physical, behavioral, cognitive, and social characteristics of aviation professionals—such as pilots, air traffic controllers, technical operations specialists, and aircraft maintenance technicians—and the systems that they use. The term human factors has grown increasingly popular as the commercial aviation industry realize that human error, rather than mechanical failure, underlies most aviation accidents and incidents. Human factors science or technologies are multidisciplinary fields incorporating contributions from psychology, engineeri...

      Integration of Audio Filters in Aviation Communication Systems   Huong Trinh In aviation communication systems, the seamless integration of various components such as amplifiers, oscillators, transmitters, receivers, microphones, and speakers are crucial for ensuring clear and reliable communication between pilots and air traffic controllers. One essential aspect of these systems is the incorporation of audio filters, which play a significant role in eliminating noise and enhancing the intelligibility of transmitted signals. This synopsis explores the function of audio filters in aviation communication systems and their integration with other components to achieve optimal performance. Aviation communication systems rely on the transmission and reception of audio signals to facilitate communication between pilots and ground control personnel. These systems comprise several interconnected components, each serving a specific function in the transmission and ...

      Critical Analysis of Swissair Flight 111 Accident and Contributing Factors   Huong Trinh Swissair Flight 111, a McDonnell Douglas MD-11, tragically crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on September 2, 1998, from JFK International Airport to Geneva, Switzerland. “The accident was investigated by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB). The TSB concluded that an arcing event from an electrical wire associated with an in-flight entertainment system that had been installed via an FAA approved supplemental type certificate was likely associated with the fire initiation event” (FAA, 2024). This critical analysis aims to delve into the factors contributing to the accident, including the aircraft's electrical system, materials used in its construction, and organizational aspects. Electrical System Design and Maintenance The electrical system of an aircraft is crucial for its operation, controlling various functions such as communication, navigation, ligh...
