Aviation Safety and Security

<p>This book focuses on ways to better manage and prevent aircraft-based homicide events while in flight using alternate technology to replace the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and/or Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) functions. While these events are infrequent, the implementation of real-time predictive maintenance allows aircraft operators to better manage both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance events. <b>Aviation Safety and Security: Utilizing Technology to Prevent Aircraft Fatality</b> explores historical events of in-flight homicide and includes relevant accident case study excerpts from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB).</p><p></p><b><p>FEATURES</p></b><p></p><ul><p><li>Explores historical events of in-flight homicide and offers solutions for ways to mitigate risk</li><p></p><p><li>Explains how alternate technologies can be implemented to address in-flight safety issues</li><p></p><p><li>Demonstrates that metrics for change are not solely for safety but also for financial savings for aircraft operation</li><p></p><p><li>Includes relevant accident case study excerpts from the NTSB and AAIB</li><p></p><p><li>Expresses the need for real-time predictive maintenance</li><p></p></p></p></p></p></p></ul><p></p><b><p>Stephen J Wright</p></b><P> is an academic Professor at the faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Tampere University, Finland, specializing in aviation, aeronautical engineering, and aircraft systems.</P>
