I am very grateful for the strong support and

guidance provided to me by my Aviation teacher Mrs.

Preeti Brid, who helped me to know all about this
industry and also helped me in preparing this project.
1. Briefly describe the current scenario with updates of
current affairs in Aviation Industry. Justify with
articles from newspaper & magazines.
 Policy paralysis and a slowing economy a poor combination: India’s
growth in FY2012/13 could possibly dip below 7%. This is a rate of
expansion that most economies would envy, but it falls short of the
Government’s own targets and of the growth needed to achieve the
Government’s employment generation and poverty alleviation
objectives.

 Air India monopolising government attention. With no solution in

sight, it is actually creating the problem: Air India has limited
capability to operate new routes, meanwhile blocking private carriers
from doing so. As has happened so many times before, the only
winners in this scenario are the foreign airlines from whom Air India
is being “protected”.

 Government needs to focus on industry viability and safety: Rather

than focusing on micro issues, the Ministry of Civil Aviation’s
objective should be to create an environment which recognizes and
supports industry viability and competitiveness. The sector must be
in a position to operate safely and efficiently, delivering sustained
and reasonable profits and covering its cost of capital.
 A new, dedicated Minister of Civil Aviation is a positive, but he faces
a challenging task : On 18-Dec-2011 Ajit Singh took over Mr. Ravi’s
civil aviation responsibilities. A dedicated minister is a positive
development, but a change of leadership at this critical time means
uncertainty will persist, especially in the absence of a clear strategic
framework for the sector.

 Traffic is expected to continue to grow strongly, but financial

recovery will be slow : Banks have become a critical pillar of the
aviation sector...

 Poor government policy means airports also face financial

challenges : Meanwhile, private and state-owned airport operators
continue to struggle. The operators of Delhi and Mumbai Airports
have invested USD5 billion in modernising these facilities but the
revenue collection has been less than expected due to the economic
regulator not permitting a dual-till framework, while the Supreme
Court ordered both airports to cease collection of Airport
Development Fees from passengers, pending approval by the
Airports Economic Regulatory Authority.
 India is poised to be among the top five
aviation nations in the world in the next 10 years. The Indian
Aviation Industry is exploring opportunities to improve
connectivity and is also looking at enhancing the number of
Indian carriers to various countries. At the recently concluded
International Civil Aviation Negotiation (ICAN) Conference
2011 during 17-22 October, 2011, it was stated that in the next
10 years domestic air traffic will touch around 160-180
million passengers a year, and the international traffic will
exceed 80 million passengers a year. Though Demographics,
Slow transit through road and rail infrastructure, Increasing
Business and Leisure Travel and Government Policy remains
the growth drivers but High aviation fuel (ATF) price, Hugh
Debt Burden, Poor Infrastructure, Regional Connectivity and
Excess Capacity has been seen as speed breakers to this
sector. Passengers carried by domestic airlines during January
2012 were 53.30 lakh as against 49.36 lakh during the
corresponding period of previous year thereby registering a
growth of 8.06%.

A300 COCKPIT
COCKPIT
 A cockpit or flight deck is the
area, usually near the front of
an aircraft, from which a pilot
controls the aircraft.
Most modern cockpits are
enclosed, except on some
small aircraft, and cockpits on
large airliners are also
physically separated from the
cabin. From the cockpit an
aircraft is controlled on the
ground and in the air.
 Usually provided on the underside of the
aircraft for storage of passengers baggage and
fright. Cargo compartments on aircraft comes in
four types:

Class A: Pressurized, not compartmentalized and

within easy reach of cabin attendants. Think
closets, galley storage, etc.
Class B: Pressurized, reachable by crew, but
compartmentalized. Fluffy rides here.
Class C: Pressurized or not, compartmentalized,
has a fire suppression system. Passenger luggage
is usually placed in a non-pressurized class C
compartment.
Class D: Not pressurized, compartmentalized,
generally do not have fire suppression systems
(except for the lack of air at altitude). This is
where the mail goes ,along with most other
paying cargo, spare parts the airlines lugging back
and forth, etc.
Not all aircraft have all four types of cargo
areas, but most decent sized jets will have a B and
a C.
Exterior part of aircrafts
o FUSELAGE : It is the central body potion of a plane designed to carry fuel,
passengers, freight & mail. The part of the aircraft, which is streamlined,
and the wings and the tails are attached to it. It is made up of Duralium i.e.
an alloy of aluminium, nickel & cobalt.
o COCKPIT: A cockpit or flight deck is the area, usually near the front of an
aircraft , from which a pilot controls the aircraft. It is a place where from
which flight is controlled on the ground and in the air.
o CABIN: An aircraft cabin is the section of an aircraft in which passengers
travel, often just called the cabin. The portion of enclosed airplane intended
for transporting passengers or freight.
o WINGS: The parts of the plane that provide lift & support the weight of the
plane, its passengers, crew & cargo while the plane is in flight.
o FLAPS: The movable portion of the wings closest to the fuselage. These
are control surfaces installed on the trailing edge of a wing and used to
increase the amount of lift generated by the wing at slower speeds.
o AILERONS :Ailerons are hinged control surfaces attached to the
trailing edge of the wing of a fixed-wing aircraft .The ailerons are used
to control the aircraft in roll.
o RUDDER :The rudder is one of three primary flight control surfaces
found on an airplane. It is a movable surface hinged to the fixed surface
that is located at the rear of the aircraft called the vertical stabilizer, or
fin. The rudder controls movement of the airplane about its vertical
axis and causes the airplane & apos;s nose to move to the right or left
and point in a different direction.
o HORIZONTAL STABILIZER :This is the horizontal part of the tail
assembly, the small wings at the rear of an aircraft’s fuselage. It
balances the lift forces generated by the main wings further forward on
the fuselage. The stabilizer also usually contains the elevator.
o UNDERCARRIAGE :It is located underneath the plane, it allows the
plane to land and supports it while it is on ground. It also has the
mechanism to reduce and absorb the shock of landing to acceptable
limits.
o SPOILER :Spoilers are small, hinged plates on the top portion of
wings. Spoilers can be used to slow an aircraft, or to make an aircraft
descend, if they are deployed on both wings. Spoilers can also be used
to generate a rolling motion for an aircraft, if they are deployed on only
one wing.
o Aisle: A passage between two sections of seats, comprising of
horizontally placed rows that is located from the nose to tail of
the aircraft without any obstruction.
o Bulkhead: Partitions or walls in the fuselage to make
compartments for different purposes.
o Doghouse: A small cupboard, placed on the floor of the aircraft
on casters, usually behind the last row of seats in every zone of
the plane used for storage purposes.
o Overhead : Medium sized compartments placed along the
sidewall of the aircraft, fitted with a door, meant for stowage of
the carry-on baggage of the passenger during flight.
o Emergency Exits: Doors & Windows used specially in case of
emergency besides being used as normal exits.
o Galley: The „kitchen‟ of the aircraft is called the galley.
o Lavatory: All lavatory are similar in design, though size and
contour may very depending on its location.
3. With the help of PPT/Slide presentation. Demonstrate
the correct procedure for embarkation/ disembarkation
of all of the special handling pax along with related
documents.
 First the passenger enters the airport and proceed to the ticket
counter.
 Ground staff executive will check in the passenger baggage
and tags the slip to boarding pass.
 If the passenger have any excess baggage they need to pay
extra amount according to the airline fares.
 If it is domestic destination, passenger need not to go through
customs and immigration check.
 If it is international the passenger need to go through the
customs and immigration check.
 After customs and immigration the passenger proceeds to
security check.
 Then the passenger boards the aircraft.
 For domestic passenger disembarkation, they directly
proceed to baggage counter and collects their baggage.
And they leave the airport. International passengers
collects the disembarkation form from crew on board.
 Then they proceed to customs and immigration check.
 After customs and immigration they proceed to
baggage counter to collect.
 And they leave the airport.
 Unaccompanied minor.
A passenger who is below the age of 18 travelling
alone is classified as unaccompanied minor (UNM).
 These passengers are
boarded last & deplaned
first at the destination.
Very often extra security
accompanies the flights in
which these passengers
are travelling.
Special menus, extra
crew are sometimes
provided on these flights.
 We understand the
importance of the third
trimester of expectant mothers.
Therefore, any travel from 29
weeks to 36 weeks, shall be
asked to present a “Fit to
Travel” certificate from a
medical practitioner, which
confirms the expected date of
delivery and fitness to fly. The
certificate should be issued by
the doctor within 7 days of
flight departure and should
remain in the possession of the
expectant mother at the time of
check in.
 They are usually seated on the
carrycot seats. The
carrycot/bassinet should be placed
soon after take-off & removed
when the aircraft starts its descent
to the destination
The infant should be in mother’s
lap during take-off landling. They
should also be advised to feed the
infant at this time & put cotton in
the infant’s ear to prevent pressure
distress.
Extra amenities like napkins,
disposable diapers, feeding
bottles(when required) baby food
should be offered
 A person with invalid
immigration documents or one
who is being sent back to his
country of origin because of
some legal matters is a deportee.
Often in the latter case he/she is
accompanied by extra security.
They are boarded last &
deplaned last. The senior cabin
crew fir that zone handles all the
paperwork. These passengers are
usually seated near the gallery
area, where the cabin crew can
observe them in flight. They are
not permitted to deplane at
transit halts.
 Few passengers need that extra
attention as they are physically
handicapped or are suffering from or
recovery from a serious illness, In
such cases:
 The passenger is boarded first &
deplaned last. Often classified as a
‘’Wheelchair’’ passenger on the PIL,
he/she is handed over to the crew in
whose he/she is seated.
 Seriously ill passengers are often
accompanied by a relative or a
medical personnal like a doctor or a
nurse
 They are seated close to the toilet.
They should be given full assistance
throughtout the flight till they deplane
from the aircraft.
 A trained dog may be
carried in the cabin in-
case a passenger who is
dependent upon it
The dog has to properly
harnessed, restrained and
muzzled.
Blind passenger along
with dog or with any other
assistance will board first
and deplaned last.
4. Describe the following emergency equipments used in
emergency. With the help of PPT/Slide
presentation(any 4)
 A smoke hood is a
protective device access to
areas and parts roof the
airplane similar in concept
to a gas mask.
Smoke hood protects eyes
and respiratory tract.
Provides pure oxygen and
prevents from inhaling toxic
gases.
Pre-flight check:
o Correct location
o Check the validity
 Device used to contain &
overcome fire. They are 3
types: halon & water.
It is used to extinguisher
small fires in the aircraft.
Pre-flight check:
o Correct location
o Secured with strap
o Saftey pin intact
o Needle on the pressure gauge
should be between 1500-
2000 PSI
o Check the expiry date.
 Hand held loudspeakers
used by crew to enable
them to direct emergency
evacuation procedures by
being over various sounds
associated with emergency.
Pre-flight check:
o Correct location, Secured
with strap.
o Press the push to talk
button to hear a click
sound.
 Automatically inflatable
vests found under every
seats on board to help in
floatation decompression
during ditching. Children
& apos;s life vests are also
present in smaller sizes.
Pre-flight check:
Randomly check under the
passenger seat for the
availability of life jacket.
5. Is transportation of dangerous goods is safe. Yes or
No? What precuation to be taken by an airline for
transportation of Dangerous goods. Present your
findings in a PPT/ slides presentation.
 No, we should not carry the goods which can
harm aircraft…
 Dangerous goods are solids, liquids, or gases
that can harm people, other organisms,
property, or the environment. DANGEROUS
GOODS are articles or substances which are
capable of posing a risk to health, safety,
property or the environment.
 Dangerous goods include materials that are
radioactive flammable, explosive, corrosive,
oxidizing. Also included are physical
conditions such as compressed gases and
liquids or hot materials.
 The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) “Technical
Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air”,
provides Operators with the basic legal requirements for transporting
dangerous goods by air.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the
International Air Travel Association (IATA) provide guidance material
for Operators who wish to develop their dangerous goods training
programs. The ICAO and IATA guidance material is updated annually
and provides Operators with an excellent source of information on
dangerous goods.
Many aviation authorities require that Operators provide dangerous
goods training for cabin crew during initial and recurrent training.
Operators should include dangerous goods as part of the cabin crew
training program to increase cabin crew awareness to:

• The risks involved in carrying dangerous goods by air

• How to deal with a dangerous goods incident onboard the aircraft.
o Class 1: Explosives – Explosive substances, explosive
articles, and pyrotechnic devices, for example, ammunition,
and fireworks.

o Class 2: Gases ƒ
Class 2.1 Flammable Gas: Gases, which ignite on contact
with an ignition source, such as acetylene and hydrogen
ƒ Class 2.2 Non-Flammable Gases: Gases, which are neither
flammable nor poisonous. ƒ
Class 2.3 Poisonous Gases: Gases liable to cause death or
serious injury to humans if inhaled for example hydrogen
cyanide
o Class 3: Flammable liquids – Examples are petrol,
alcohol, and perfume.

o Class 4: Flammable solids – Examples are matches,

flammable metal powder ƒ
4.1: Spontaneous Combustibles ƒ
4.2: Dangerous When Wet - Solid substances that emit
a flammable gas when wet or react with water when
wet, such as sodium and potassium.
o Class 5: Oxidizing Agents and Organic peroxides ƒ
5.1 Oxidizing Agent - oxidizing agents, which are not organic such
as ammonium nitrate and chemical oxygen generators. ƒ
5.2 Organic Peroxides – are thermally unstable substances that
may undergo heat generating, self-accelerating decomposition.
These substances are sensitive to impact or friction, or may create a
dangerous reaction when in contact with other substances. These
substances may be explosive and burn rapidly. Some examples are,
fertilizers, and pool chemicals.

o Class 6: Toxic (poisonous) and infectious substances ƒ

6.1 Toxic substances - those substances that are liable to cause
death or injury if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
Examples are pesticides and poisons, mercury.
6.2 Infectious substances - those known to contain, or reasonably
expected to contain, pathogens, such as Bacteria, Viruses, medical
waste (used needles).
o Class 7: Radioactive materials

o Class 8 Corrosives Substances –Corrosive substances

can dissolve organic tissue or severely corrode certain
metals for example, hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid
contained in batteries.

o Class 9 Miscellaneous - Hazardous substances such as

dry ice and magnets.
6. Describe & compare Boeing 747 & Airbus A380?
 o The A380 “Super Jumbo” typically costs around $414m per unit. It
rises to 80ft in height, has a 21.5ft cabin width on the main deck and
19ft on the upper deck, and has a whopping 261ft wingspan.

o It can accommodate a maximum of 853 passengers in a single class

configuration or, more likely, 644 passengers in a 2 class configuration.

o The Airbus A380 can reach a maximum speed of 634mph (Mach

0.96) and has a range of 9,755 miles.

o Some airlines think the A380 is too large and too heavy for their needs,
so Airbus are responding by building a lighter version, which has a
significantly reduced maximum flying range, but will use much less
fuel, making it more economical for airlines to operate.
o The B787 Dreamliner typically costs around $211m per unit. It rises to 55ft
in height, has an 18ft cabin width, and has a 197ft wingspan.

o It can accommodate a maximum of 381 passengers in a 2 class

configuration. A more recent variation of the 787 can accommodate up to
440 passengers and has a maximum loaded range of 9,550 miles, whereas
the original variant can fly just 9,030 miles.

o The B787 Dreamliner has a maximum speed of 593mph (Mach

0.90). While not designed to be a direct rival to the A380, the 787
nevertheless competes with the A340 and A330 members of the Airbus
family.

o That said, many aviation enthusiasts identify the B787 and the A380 as
being the two newest and most spectacular aircraft in the sky, so
comparison is inevitable.
7. Do a case study of any actual of an air crash. Your
concluding statements should give your own opinion as
a result of the research conducted by you?
 Defination
o An AIR CRASH is defined in the Convention on International Civil Aviation
Annex 13 as an occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft which takes
place between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight
and all such persons have disembarked, in which a person is fatally or seriously
injured, the aircraft sustains damage or structural failure or the aircraft is missing or
is completely inaccessible. The first fatal AIR CRASH occurred in a Wright Model
A aircraft at Fort Myer, Virginia, USA, on September 17, 1908, resulting in injury
to the pilot, Orville Wright and death of the passenger, Thomas Selfridge.

o An AIR CRASH is also defined there as an occurrence other than an accident,

associated with the operation of an aircraft, which affects or could affect the safety
of operations.

o An accident in which the damage to the aircraft is such that it must be written off,
or in which the plane is destroyed is called a hull loss accident.
 I LIKE A CASE STUDY ON THIS
RESEARCH BECAUSE I WANT TO LEARN MORE
ABOUT AIR CRASH AND AM DOING IT. I HAVE
DONE A CASE STUDY OF AN ACTUAL MISHAP
OF AN AIR CRASH ON 17 SEPTEMBER 1908 AND
IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST FATAL ACCIDENT ON
THE AIR IN THE AIRPLANE. WHICH KILLED 1
MAN AND A PILOT WAS INJURED BADLY.
o One hundred years ago, on Sept. 17, 1908, a plane piloted
by Orville Wright crashed in Fort Myer, Va., badly
injuring the aviation pioneer and killing his passenger, Lt.
Thomas Selfridge.
o Today, on the anniversary of the accident, The Associated
Press distributed two photographs (before and after) of
the famous flight, along with a story on airline safety. The
AP story states that the 1908 accident was ‖the first fatal
airplane crash in history, according to the Flight Safety
Foundation.
o Here are the photos showing Selfridge and Wright (with
hat) just before the flight, and the crumpled heap of
wreckage after the crash.
o PHOENIX — It was called an ‘aeroplane’, but the contraption Orville Wright piloted on Sept.
17, 1908, was hardly more than a big box kite with a motor. And unlike his famous first flight
in 1903, this one was doomed.

Less than five minutes after takeoff, Wright‘s plane lay smashed, his passenger mortally
injured, and the world got an early taste of the perils of flying. It was the first fatal airplane
crash in history, according to the Flight Safety Foundation.

‘The aeroplane is still far within the experimental stage, a New York Times writer lamented
three days later. ―The perfected machine will doubtless be different from it in everything from
principle to motive power’.

A hundred years later, modern jets have indeed made air travel the safest way to get around.
Yet, to the consternation of the airline industry, flying still generates for many the same rush of
anxiety that onlookers must have felt when Wright‘s plane dove into the parade ground at Ft.
Myer, Va.

‘There‘s still this mystique about flying, said Ron Nielsen, a retired US Airways pilot who‘s
found a second career counselling people who are afraid to fly. There‘s a fear of being closed
in, and there‘s a fear of dying’.
 It doesn‘t help when airlines are caught failing to follow government safety
regulations, as was the case with American Airlines and Southwest Airlines
earlier this year.
Anxiety levels may also rise when members of Congress accuse the Federal
Aviation Administration of an inappropriately cozy relationship with the airlines
it regulates. In response to reports of lapses in FAA oversight, the House passed a
law in Jul y that would force federal aviation inspectors to wait two years before
taking airline JOBS.
But the facts remain: In the U.S., no one has died in a commercial jet crash in
two years. Before that, the safety record for airlines has been close to perfect.
According to a 10-year average of National Safety Council statistics
from 1996 to 2005, only two people died in commercial airline crashes per 10
billion miles traveled.
That compares to a death rate of five people per 10 billion miles on passenger
trains. And in cars, 81 people died for every 10 billion miles traveled.
 Accidents in the air have become so rare that investigators no
longer find common reasons why commercial airplanes crash, FAA
spokesman Les Dorr said.
‘If you try to say, what‘s the next common cause (of airline
accidents) that we can address, the answer is there isn‘t one, Dorr
said. It took a lot of work to get to this point.
Aviation has always been an intensively reactive field, with many
of its safety enhancements kick-started following major aircraft
accidents.
It was this way even in 1908. A few days after the
first fatal crash, Wright woke from his hospital bed and asked to
see his mechanic. ―I‘d like to have his view on just what
happened to cause our spill,‖ he said. The plane was circling about
100 feet above the parade grounds during a demonstration flight
for the U.S. Army Signal Corps w hen it suddenly dropped nose
first and crashed. Wright‘s passenger for the experimental trip, Lt.
Thomas Selfridge, was killed.
From the hospital, Wright picked through the scattered remnants
of his plane and eventually decided what caused it to drop.
 Mr. Wright finds the accident to the aeroplane was due to the blade of the
propeller coming in contact with one of the wires of the machine,‖ C.S.
Taylor, Wright‘s associate, told news reporters. A report by the Signal Corps
Aeronautical Board said the propeller blade looked like it struck a wire
supporting the rudder.
Aircraft safety investigations have become formalized in the years that
followed. The National Transportation Safety Board, founded in 1967,
deploys teams of investigators to major accidents and spends months
examining each crash. It eventually recommends ways for the airline
industry to keep the accident from happening again.
For example, airports were equipped with better weather tracking
equipment and wind-shear alert systems following a number of crashes,
including one in 1985 when a Delta Air Lines L-1011 tried to land during a
thunderstorm at Dallas/Fort Worth airport, killing 135 people.
More safety improvements have followed other major accidents. It can
take months or even years before investigators come up with
recommendations from a crash. But ―if something happens during the
investigation that really strikes fear in someone‘s heart, we‘ll send out urgent
recommendations,‖ said Bridget Ann Serchak, an NTSB spokeswoman.
Airlines also deal with several hundred new FAA air-worthiness directives
each year that are recommended by aircraft manufacturers and other
authorities. The FAA occasionally conducts safety audits like one that forced
American to cancel hundreds of MD-80 flights this spring and submit to
inspections related to electrical wiring.
 Sometimes airlines will install safety features on their own. Alaska Air
Group Inc., for example, recently said it will equip its entire fleet with a
runway-awareness system aimed at preventing collisions on the ground.

‘We realized we‘re flying out of some of the busiest airports

in the U.S. and we saw the value of an additional safety measure, said
Caroline Boren, spokeswoman for Alaska Airlines. The systems will cost
about $20,000 per aircraft to install, and Alaska‘s entire fleet is expected to
be fully equipped with the alert software by the end of the month. The FAA
and airlines have not always worked well together, Dorr said, but
increasingly they are sharing information about safety and maintenance.
That means that in the future, aircraft safety will become more automated
with inspectors and airline crews contributing to the FAA‘s Air
Transportation Oversight System, Dorr said. The system brings together
maintenance and safety reports, and looks for any safety issues on the
horizon. The fear of flying may never leave some travellers, but as the
industry continues to tweak its safety net, more of them may realize many
fears are only in their heads. Everyone that I know that flies, when they get
on the airplane, they‘re worrying about ‗Will I get there on time?‘ Not, is
the plane going to crash, Dorr said.
 The Geneva-based Aircraft Crashes Record Office (ACRO)
compiles statistics on aviation accidents of aircraft capable of
carrying more than six passengers, not including helicopters,
balloons, or fighter airplanes. It should be noted that ACRO is
not a government or official organization. The ACRO
announced in 2008 that the year 2007 was the safest year in
aviation since 1963 in terms of number of accidents. There had
been 136 accidents registered (compared to 164 in 2006),
resulting in a total of 965 deaths (compared to 1,293 in 2006).
Since then, both 2009 and 2010 saw fewer registered accidents,
122 and 130, respectively. 2004 was the year with the lowest
number of fatalities since the end of World War II, with 771
deaths. The year with most fatalities was 2001, with 4,140
deaths.
 After completing my aviation assignment I got to know
more about Aviation industry and the aircrafts exterior,
interior parts and the emergencies on board and how to
overcome the emergency situations. I also got to know
more about the crashes occurred due to technical
problems and many things. The meal served and about
the galleys in the aircraft and more details about the
cockpit and the pre-flight check. Last but not the least
embarkation and disembarkation of the special
passengers…
