What percentage of commercial airplane accidents have resulted from pilot error? This includes mismanagement of flight systems, poor judgement and not maintaining proper situational awarness.

Please do not include orher human factors. Also please list your reference that supports the claim.

Expert Solution

About 80% of commercial airplane accident have happened due to pilot error.

Pilot error refers to any action or decision or lack of proper action - made by pilot that plays a role in an accident.There are two types of pilot error

1) Tactical error

2) operational error.

According to the IATA factsheet, the monthly worldwide average number of airplane accidents of commercial airlines is approximately 5.7. What is the probability that there will be: a) more than 4 such accidents in the next month? Hint: What distribution do you use to model the number of accidents in a month? b) more than 15 such accidents in the next 3 months? Hint: What distribution do you use to model the total number of accidents in 3 months? c)...

What is the percentage error on each of the velocities in your experiment? Discuss with your members what could have caused this error.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the potential and kinetic energy of a freely falling body To determine the loss in kinetic energy of an inelastic collision To calculate the percentage error of the experimental error of the velocity of a freely falling body using the conservation of mechanical energy of a body MATERIALS: Tennis balls Digital Timer Meter stick THEORY Conservation of Mechanical Energy A body raised to a certain height possesses potential energy due to its position. Since work...

Airplane travelers sometimes note that their cosmetics bottles and other containers have leaked during a flight. What might cause this? (b) When blood pressure is measured, why must the cuff be held at the level of the heart? (c) Why does buoyancy occur? Is buoyant force a conservative force? Is potential energy associated with it? Explain your answer. (d) Explain how the tube in the figure below, known as a siphon, can transfer liquid from one container to a lower...

Electric charge can accumulate on an airplane in flight. You may have observed needle-shaped metal extensions on the wing tips and tail of an airplane. Their purpose is to allow charge to leak off before much of it accumulates. The electric field around the needle is much larger than the field around the body of the airplane and can become large enough to produce dielectric breakdown of the air, discharging the airplane. To model this process, assume that two charged...

What percentage of resulted Hydrogen in the reaction: CH4 (g) + NH3 (g) --> HCN (g) + 3H2 (g) must be burnt, with formation if H2O (g), to ensure the quantity of heat absorbed in the reaction? (the answer is: approximately 35%) Heat of formation : Hf (kJ/mol) CH4 (g) = -74,7 NH3 (g) = -46,2 HCN (g) = 130,5 H2O (g) = -241,6

QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS: 1. What is the percentage error on each of the velocities in your experiment? Discuss what could have caused this error. 2. How is the loss in the kinetic energy manifested by the ball each time it reaches the ground? 3. In your experiment, calculate the kinetic and potential energies when the ball was on its midway down the first, the second, and the third time. What can you conclude about the total mechanical energy of the...
