However, in the second half of the twentieth century, the network of international air routes covered almost all countries of the world. Operations on modern air transport are characterized by mass (number of transport units and volumes), rhythmic (frequency of traffic units) and adequate complexity. In this regard, there is a need for a rigorous legal mechanism for carrying out air transportation, fixing the obligations and rights of the transport process participants and, most importantly, ensuring a reliable level of security.
Aviation security as a scientific field is a relatively new aspect of scientific activity. Aviation security is a state of protection of the sector of civil aviation from threats of external factors associated with the implementation of acts of illegal intrusion. The basis of aviation security is a complex of organizational and legal, financial, technical and scientific-methodological measures that ensure the organization of civil security in the aviation at all its levels.<br>Виникнення авіації як видатної, незалежної транспортної галузі відбулося у двадцятих роках ХХ століття. Однак у другій половині ХХ століття мережа міжнародних повітряних маршрутів охопила майже всі країни світу. Операції на сучасному повітряному транспорті характеризуються масовістю (кількістю транспортних одиниць та обсягами), ритмічністю (частота одиниць руху) та достатньою складністю. У зв'язку з цим існує потреба у суворому правовому механізмі здійснення повітряних перевезень, фіксації обов'язків та прав учасників транспортного процесу та, що найголовніше, забезпечення надійного рівня безпеки.
Авіаційна безпека як науковий напрямок є відносно новим аспектом наукової діяльності. Авіаційна безпека - це стан захисту сектору цивільної авіації від загроз зовнішніх факторів, пов’язаних з виконанням актів незаконного вторгнення. Основою авіаційної безпеки є комплекс організаційно-правових, фінансових, технічних та науково-методологічних заходів, що забезпечують організацію цивільної безпеки в авіації на всіх її рівнях.

This study questions the effects that discrimination has had on aviation and what changes, if any, can be expected in the near future. The central theme of the study is discrimination, specifically racial discrimination, sex discrimination and age discrimination. Of particular importance is the discriminatory role that various government agencies have played in labeling a person unfit to serve as a pilot simply because that person happens to be a woman, black or has reached a certain chronological age.<br>This study questions the position taken by such institutions as the International Civil Aviation Organization, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Joint Aviation Authorities. Where possible, an attempt has been made to show good leadership on the part of these institutions as well as indicate where good leadership was partially or completely missing. The role the courts have played or failed to play over the years in determining the issues of discrimination in aviation has also been included in the study. Case law is used as extensively as possible to trace the positions taken by plaintiffs and defendants in attempting to change what they perceived as discriminatory or unfair law.<br>The text also includes legislation that addresses issues of discrimination passed by various legislative bodies as well as the efforts of individual organizations, such as the Professional Pilots Federation, the International Federation of Air Line Pilots Associations and others, to end discriminatory practices in aviation.

Williams, Kristopher B. "Reset Aviation Maintenance Program Study of U.S. Army Aviation." TopSCHOLAR®, 2011. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/1044.
Full textAbstract:
U.S. Army helicopter maintenance condition is affected by operation environment and high flight hours. Due to the environmental conditions and high operation tempo of Afghanistan and Iraq, U.S. Army Aviation created the RESET aviation maintenance program to provide restorative maintenance following deployments in theater. The RESET maintenance program was created in addition to the existing two-level maintenance programs. Following deployment, RESET is a thorough cleaning to remove contaminants, inspection of airframe and components, and repair cycle to restore the condition of the helicopter to acceptable condition. Based on the original intent of RESET, it was projected that at the conclusion of military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, the RESET maintenance program could be discontinued. Because of the presumed safety, reliability, and mission readiness created by RESET, this thesis appraised the RESET maintenance program as a permanent addition to U.S. Army Aviation maintenance programs. The hypothesis was that RESET does improve safety, reliability, and mission readiness of the Army UH-60 Black Hawk fleet. The design was a quantitative survey of three variables: safety, reliability, and mission readiness. The survey featured Likert scale and open-ended questions of three groups: UH-60 maintenance test pilots, UH-60 AVUM/AVIM maintenance supervisory personnel, and ACE (Airframe Condition Evaluation) technical evaluators. Data from each of the three survey groups verified the hypothesis that RESET improved safety, reliability, and mission readiness. Data from open-ended questions indicated that the additional disassembly and special inspections of RESET are more extensive than the aviation unit and intermediate Phased Maintenance Inspection (PMI). Therefore, given the disassembly and special inspections of RESET, and the verification that RESET improves safety, reliability, and mission readiness, it was concluded that RESET is a successful program that should be continued. Based on the effectiveness of RESET in discovering these deficiencies, RESET should be a permanent addition to the Army aviation maintenance programs.

Full textAbstract:
Risk management is considered to be an application of general concepts in scientific management of a particular problem of exposure to risk of loss. It is concerned with identifying objectives, analysing the data regarding the nature of the problem, evaluating the pure risks deriving from the nature of the business and choosing or finding the most suitable method or methods of handling these risks; aiming to control them and their effects as well as minimizing the cost. The field of aviation has grown very quickly and developed faster in the last few years to reach the present level of operation and technology by introducing more advanced and higher capacity airliners. Therefore, aviation risks and their financial impact exhibit a number of distinguishing characteristics that raise problems for traditional risk management and insurance technique in dealing with such risks. The study reviews, analyses and classifies aviation risks and their characteristics as well as the major hazards involved in aircraft and their operation. The research undertakes to review the international conventions and agreements affecting air transportation and the limits of liabilities affecting those who operate airlines internationally in respect of death, injury or damage caused to passengers, baggage, cargo and third parties as well as safety and security of aircraft in the air and on the ground. It also studies and analyses the international jet airliner fleet, their accidents and their causes to provide a basis of choosing suitable risk levels in managing these risks.

The article deals with issues concerning aviation flight safety. We know that air transport will continue to grow, it has a good relative safety record but pulbic perception focuses on total accidents rather than relative safety. This has led to the setting of ambitious new safety targets for air transport whose attainment will require improved knowledge of causes of accidents and better understanding of the effects of new technologies and procedures, Human factors and operational environments are key elements while aircraft design construction and maintenance, together with ATC operations and accident mitigation, also play important roles.

Full textAbstract:
Comprising many airplanes, airports, aircrew, and employees, aviation industry is a large sector that is very vulnerable to attacks, whether it is from terrorists or criminals. Aviation history is fraught with examples of airport bombings, hijackings, and sabotage terrorist attacks. The most destructive of which is the tragedy of September 11, 2001, the cornerstone of today's aviation security policies. This study uses risk assessment tools to determine the dimensions of danger and threats against the aviation industry and addresses how vulnerable the aviation sector is. After vulnerabilities and threats are examined, possible impacts of attacks against the aviation security are discussed. This study also explores the pre and post September 11 policies that governments and policy makers develop to reduce risks in aviation sector. In addition, it discusses weaknesses and strengths of these policies which surfaced during the implementations. Finally, this study proposes some recommendations based on vulnerabilities and threats of aviation security.

Full textAbstract:
CHDS State/Local<br>Since 9/11, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has struggled to maintain a balance between providing a secure world-class aviation passenger-screening program (APSP) while providing efficiency, convenience and security for the traveling public and the airline industry. For years the TSA has applied resources and procedures uniformly to all passengers during aviation passenger screening. It is mainly a one size fits all screening where all passengers are treated as equal risk, which has exponentially increased resources, procedures and equipment required to do aviation passenger screening, Recently, the Transportation Security Administration has sought to find a better way to conduct aviation passenger screening and is transitioning to Risk Based Security (RBS). The RBS initiatives have greatly improved the aviation passenger screening experience while increasing the efficiency of checkpoint screening by shortening the amount of wait times. Furthermore, it has allowed resources to be applied to high-risk individuals and lessen the burden of passenger screening on low-risk individuals. This has freed up resources reduced procedures while simultaneously increasing the efficiency of the checkpoint. The research here provides options on how to better enable current RBS initiatives by incorporating biometric technology into the aviation passenger-screening program. This research has reviewed other government programs that have incorporated biometrics into their procedures to improve the efficiency and reliability by using biometrically enhanced security measures. Through the application or modification of these biometrically enhanced security programs of other agencies, the TSA could standardize and incorporate biometrics into the RBS APSP allowing for authentication of both identity verification and identification. This research will explore how to incorporate biometrics into the current Risk-Based Security Aviation Passenger Screening Program.

Full textAbstract:
The increasing number of commercial flights, e.g. a scheduled passenger flight operated by an airline, requires that all air aviation operations must follow the airspace rules and procedures in order to enhance safety. Since commercial flights comprise the majority of civilian flights, most of a country’s airspace is designed to meet its needs. As a consequence, airspace design and procedures primarily meet the needs of such flights. For example, controlled airspace is under the jurisdiction of the Airspace Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) and thus, the Air Traffic Controller (ATCO) is responsible for the management of flights within the airspace including authorisation for entry and exit. There are, however, situations in which aircraft enter controlled airspace without authorisation of the ATCO. When this happens, a safety incident known as an airspace infringement (AI) is recorded. Such incidents can cause safety as well as other air traffic management problems, such as delays, with the worst case being a mid-air collision. According to European statistics, approximately 5% of reported AIs in European airspace led to a loss of separation between 2010 and 2014. A distinctive characteristic of AIs is that they mostly involve general aviation (GA) flights that significantly differ from commercial flights. An immediate consequence of this is that current reporting, investigation and analysis schemes are designed for commercial aviation and thus, incidents involving GA are inadequately reported in the safety database of ANSPs and national aviation authorities. This unsurprising given that on average approximately 20% of reported AIs in Europe were not analysed between 2010 and 2014. Furthermore, not all GA aircraft are adequately detected by the air traffic service infrastructure and thus, AIs might be underreported. GA in itself represents a diverse group of airspace users and has unique relationships with aviation stakeholders at the national and European level which are not well described in the literature. Two seminal studies of AIs that focused on GA were conducted in the last decade by the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL) and Civil Aviation Authority of United Kingdom (UK CAA). These studies provided a relatively good overview of the context in which AIs occurred in European airspace in the period 2003-2008. Whilst important contributory factors to AIs were determined, they did not relate to a GA pilot’s decision making, the flying style of each GA aircraft or the use of emerging technologies. Such factors can be found in the literature relating to human factors and aviation psychology. Nonetheless, the factors of these AI studies were not found in reported AI incidents, which are the key data for any safety analysis. Despite efforts to mitigate their occurrence at both national and European level, AIs continue to occur both in controlled and restricted airspace. Although a small proportion of AIs results in a loss of prescribed separation between aircraft, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, AIs pose the risk of a mid-air collision in controlled and restricted airspace. GA remains the key contributor to these incidents whilst it faces technological and regulatory changes that can affect their operations and subsequently, the occurrence of AIs. Significant improvements have also been made to the safety databases of aviation stakeholders. However, according to recent European safety reports, there is a need for both a systematic reporting and safety analysis to meet the increasing size of the safety databases. Therefore, this thesis addresses these current limitations and proposes a holistic framework to analyse AIs at the national level to enhance safety. This framework utilises both the developed taxonomy of contributory factors for GA and the developed framework that systematically analyses reported AIs. This thesis also reviews the GA flying activity including the operations and a pilot’s performance. The developments of this thesis are summarised below. GA is extensively described from a review of various documents and interviews with the GA pilots conducted in this thesis. The latter reveals the manner by which recreational GA pilots currently plan and navigate as well as the information they need to do so. This description can also be used by the stakeholders to identify the needs of the GA pilots and to review airspace rules and procedures to meet these needs. With respect to AIs, this thesis develops and validates a novel and bespoke taxonomy of contributory factors of AIs, referred to as GA-Contributory factors to AIs (GA-Saf(ArI)) for GA flights. The taxonomy is derived from an extensive literature review of GA pilots’ performance, past studies of AIs and the rigorous analysis of reported AIs and semi-structured interviews with GA pilots. The taxonomy consists of 145 contributory factors and 52% of these factors were derived solely from the interviews, highlighting the importance of collecting data directly from GA pilots. Amongst the findings is that the flight-route decision of GA pilots to fly very close to controlled airspace, mostly over capital cities, increases the likelihood of an AI. In such flights, the aircraft can stray into controlled airspace when the pilot fails to notice the change of the aircraft’s heading due to the wind. The taxonomy GA-Saf(ArI) can be used by the stakeholders to analyse AIs as well as other incidents involving GA flights. This thesis also develops, tests and validates a framework, referred to as Proactive Safety Analysis of Reported AIs (Pro-Saf(Ari)). This framework overcomes current limitations through a systematic and speedy analysis of reported incidents. It assesses the quality of the data, extensively studies the incident’s contextual and contributory factors and applies statistical analysis. Given the current database’s structures, the success of the analysis depends on the narrative. The more detail the narrative is, the more likely the contextual and contributory factors to be determined. The uniqueness of AIs is that most AIs are reported by the ATCO than the infringing pilot. Whilst their detailed narrative is useful, it fails to report information on what happened inside the aircraft, such as the flight-route decision making of pilots. The framework is applicable to databases of different quality, size and origin, i.e. ATCO’s and pilot’s reports, and thus, it can be used by the stakeholders. Finally, this thesis develops a holistic framework, referred to as Safety analysis of AIs at the national level (Pro-Saf(ArI)N). The Pro-Saf(ArI)N framework offers a systematic approach to collect, investigate and analyse the AIs reported by both the ATCO and GA pilot. It utilises the taxonomy GA-Saf(ArI) to investigate the reported incidents and the framework Pro-Saf(Ari) to statistically analyse the contextual and contributory factors. Such a holistic framework allows the stakeholders to monitor AIs, assess the safety risk of a mid-air collision caused by an AI and design a mitigation action plan to prevent AIs from occurring at national level. A quantitative method is applied to measure the efficacy of a mitigation action. From the application of the framework, a series of mitigation actions are proposed. Furthermore, improvements of the Safety Management System of the ANSP are proposed including the improvement of the reporting scheme.

Our aim is to investigate and evaluate the efficiency of crisis management in European aviation, and to recommend enhancements. To fulfill this, we mapped the current crisis management plans and created a fictive scenario where a cyber-attack shut down the power at five of the major airports in Europe. Air traffic in Europe was reconstructed to a chosen day; the 16th of September 2013, and the reconstructed traffic situation was used in the scenario. We also created a model, for the purpose of showing the effect of a cut in time for the steps in the crisis management plan may have on the traffic waiting to depart at the closed airports. When using these means, we could implement the crisis management plans on the fictive scenario and make changes to the plans for a new implementation. The existing crisis management plans were compared to the modified plans made by us, and it was found that usage of a common platform for the different stakeholders involved in the crisis could improve the efficiency of the crisis management.

It is an essential part not only in the economy and other fields of our life, but also it has extremely large effects on the environment system. Global warming, ozone depletion and other changes in nature are the results of the engine noises, air emissions. Approximately 2.46% of the global human-made CO2 emissions are from the aviation industry, and this number is increasing faster and faster as the demand for air transportations is skyrocketing. So, one of the main challenges in our days is to reduce CO2 emissions in the aviation industry. Also, this direction is strongly connected with the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. To protect, restore the environment and provide sustainable development, some airlines have started using biofuels. For instance, the Lufthansa Group made Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), with the help of which flights have become CO2 - neutral. But not every airline can afford it because of large expanses. To reduce CO2 emissions, other methods for fuel economy are used in the aviation industry. Because when an airline reduces fuel consumption, then air emissions are also reduced<br>Авіаційна промисловість відіграє важливу роль у нашому сучасному житті. Він є важливою складовою не лише в економіці та інших сферах нашого життя, але також має надзвичайно великий вплив на систему навколишнього середовища. Глобальне потепління, руйнування озонового шару та інші зміни в природі - це результати шумів у двигуні, викидів в атмосферу. Приблизно 2,46% світових викидів CO2, вироблених людиною, припадає на авіаційну промисловість, і ця кількість зростає все швидше і швидше, оскільки попит на повітряні перевезення стрімко зростає. Отже, однією з головних проблем у наші дні є зменшення викидів CO2 в авіаційній галузі. Крім того, цей напрямок тісно пов'язаний з 17 цілями сталого розвитку ООН. Для захисту, відновлення навколишнього середовища та забезпечення сталого розвитку деякі авіакомпанії почали використовувати біопаливо. Наприклад, Lufthansa Group створила стійке авіаційне паливо (SAF), за допомогою якого рейси стали CO2 - нейтральними. Але не кожна авіакомпанія може собі це дозволити через великі простори. Для зменшення викидів CO2 в авіаційній промисловості використовуються інші методи економії палива. Тому що, коли авіакомпанія зменшує споживання палива, тоді викиди в атмосферу також зменшуються

Forskningsprojektet FLIGHT på Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH) utforskar verktyg som ämnar hjälpa organisationer att minska sina flygrelaterade koldioxidutsläpp. På uppdrag av FLIGHT har studenter på KTH framställt verktyget FlightViz, som sammanställer och visualiserar information om flygresor gjorda av anställda på KTH. Denna studie ämnar undersöka hur FlightViz bör vidareutvecklas för att vara användbart för fler än den ursprungliga användargruppen - forskarna involverade i FLIGHT. Forskningsfrågan som ställs är vilka funktioner som bör inkluderas och vilka designförändringar som bör implementeras för att FlightViz ska vara användbart för en bredare grupp användare på KTH. Forskningsintervjuer med hållbarhetsstrateger på KTH Sustainability Office och med anställda på olika skolor på KTH genomfördes i syfte att kartlägga användarbehov och skapa underlag till att besvara forskningsfrågan. Resultatet av studien visade att en rad funktioner och designförändringar är av hög betydelse för FlightViz användbarhet. Att visualisera personanpassad data per årsarbetskraft, årsvis och i förhållande till olika genomsnitt är eftertraktat, och visades vara av hög betydelse vid vidareutveckling av FlightViz. Huruvida datan ska vara anonym är en fråga utan ett lika självklart svar. Trots det var anonymitet ett viktigt ämne i studien.<br>In order to reach international climate goals, global carbon emissions must be halved by 2030. In flight-intensive organisations, where air travel makes up a significant portion of the organisation’s total annual carbon emissions, there is therefore often an ambition to reduce employee flight travel. The research project FLIGHT at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) explores tools that are designed to help organisations reduce their flight-related carbon emissions. On behalf of FLIGHT, students at KTH have developed a tool called FlightViz, which combines and visualises information about travels by flight, made by KTH employees. This study aims to investigate how FlightViz can be developed further, in order to be useful to a larger group of users, other than the originally intended user base - the researchers in the FLIGHT project. The research question asked is what features should be included and what design changes should be implemented in order to make FlightViz useful for a wider group of users at KTH. Research interviews with sustainability strategists at KTH Sustainability Office and with employees from different schools at KTH were conducted, with the aim of identifying user needs and creating a basis for answering the research question. The results of the study indicated that a number of features and design alterations are desirable in order to make FlightViz usable for a broader user base. Visualising personalised data per annual workforce, per year and in relation to various averages was found to be of high importance in the further development of FlightViz. Whether the data should be anonymous or not, was a question with a less obvious answer. Nevertheless, anonymity was an important topic in the study.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Aviation industry has been developing throughout the last decades and is today an important part of the global economy. This constant growth makes it important to constrain the climate impacts derived from it. The IPCC report (1999), Aviation and the global atmosphere, lists four measures to reduce emissions and environmental impacts of aviation; Aircraft and engine technology options, fuel options, operational options and regulatory and economic options. The study aims to discuss the efficiency and implementation level of the measures. The theoretical frame for the research is based on literature studies whereas the empirical material is based on qualitative interviews of representatives of three key sectors; the authority, the service provider and the aircraft operator.</p><p>While analysing the theoretical and the empirical results, a certain emphasis on the regulatory and economical measures has been noticed. Moreover, following conclusions have been drawn;</p><p>(1) An emission trading with carbon dioxide would be an incentive to improve aircraft technology and flying procedures; (2) The best way of having international aviation included in the European emissions trading scheme (EU ETS) would be through an initial grandfathering distribution (costless distribution of permits according to historical emission and volume of fuel use) done according to a best-practise philosophy; (3) A robust instrument to measure emissions behaviour at different levels of the atmosphere is still missing. (4) The exclusion of the international aviation from the Kyoto Protocol negotiations makes it harder to include it in the existing EU ETS. Finally, all measures are needed and should be put into practise, but a trading with emissions would be the one to start the improving cycle leading to more sustainable results regarding time, environment and economy.</p>

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited<br>Naval Aviation utilizes the Aviation Career Continuation Pay (ACCP) as a means to retain qualified aviators to meet manpower requirements. However, the current program has failed to meet targeted retention across communities while overpaying nearly $5,300,000 during FY-2013, according to Eric Kelso. This thesis examines the potential improvements of applying uniform-price auction, Quality Adjusted Discount (QUAD), and CombiNATOrial Retention Auction Mechanism (CRAM) compensation programs to replace the current bonus system. Incorporating survey results from 2,316 naval officers across Navy Aviation, we analyzed the impact that market-based mechanisms would have on quantity, quality, and cost for retained naval aviators. Using these responses, we developed individual quality scores and reservation prices to apply three auction mechanisms to the retention goals and costs of the FY-2013 ACCP program. Our research shows that a market-based auction could include improvements in cost, quality, and particularly quantity of aviators eligible for the Department Head Screen Board. The uniform-price auction meets all retention objectives across Navy Aviation, while reducing costs in some communities by $1,250,000. The QUAD auction improves the average quality of aviators retained under the uniform-price auction while CRAM demonstrates that non-monetary incentives provide aviators means to remain in service while lowering overall costs to the Navy.

Full textAbstract:
Doctor of Philosophy<br>Department of Special Education, Counseling and Student Affairs<br>Fred O. Bradley<br>Over the last few years, the safety record of U.S. commercial airlines has improved to the point where the statistics on accidents are negligible. The overwhelming numbers of aviation fatalities occur in General Aviation (GA) accidents. While the fatal accident rate has improved—from around 5.0 per 100,000 miles flown in the post–World War II era to varying between 1.2 and 1.5 since 1996—it still results in 450 to 700 deaths per year. In 2013, improving GA safety was on the National Transportation Safety Board’s (NTSB’s) most wanted list.
The NTSB has cited a lack of aeronautical knowledge as the cause of many of these accidents. If pilots are required to pass Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) knowledge and practical tests prior to obtaining a new pilot certificate, how could they not possess the knowledge needed to operate in the National Airspace System (NAS)? Some, attributing it to a failure to learn basic aeronautical knowledge, are concerned that potential pilots memorize the answers to test questions published in commercially available test guides and quickly forget the material after passing the test.
The purpose of this retrospective causal comparative study was to see if airman knowledge tests scores are related to fatal accidents. Fatal GA accidents that had pilot error as a causal factor were compared with those in which maintenance factors caused the accidents, to see if there were significant differences in the pilots’ knowledge test scores. The time that potential pilots took to answer skill-based questions that required calculation or interpretation was compared to the time to answer recall questions to see if rote memorization may have been involved in passing the knowledge test.
The results of this paper may have implications on how AFS 630 structures the FAA knowledge tests and how instructors prepare potential pilots for these tests.

The emergence of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) / Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAVs), the continued U.S. Navy focus on the littorals, the desire for force distribution, the need for operational cost reductions, and the advent of Network Centric Warfare (NCW) all continue to support the requirement to re-evaluate how littoral operations will be conducted in the future. Given this background, a bottom-up design of a ship supporting a primarily UAV/UCAV air wing in a low to medium threat environment is of significant interest. SEA ARCHER meets this interest. This report outlines a design that meets the future needs for distributed aviation with a high-speed, highly automated platform. Large gains in reduced manning through automated systems for both operation and damage control helpmeet the demanding needs for the future of the Navy at reduced operational costs.

The hypothesis claims that full service carriers (FSCs) will be forced to change their operating models. Additionally, the trends which form aviation market of the future are explored. The investigation is based on a financial assessment of ten important airlines incorporated in four different regions across the globe, between 2005 and 2014. According to the findings the trend of liberalization will continue, thus FSCs will continue losing market share to low cost carriers (LCCs) and as such, they will be made to change the way they operate in order to survive. The future aviation market is defined by a reshuffle of demand towards emerging countries, further rationalization of operating models and consolidation.

Reinhardt, Derek Wade. "Safety assurance of aviation systems." Thesis, University of York, 2013. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/6208/.
Full textAbstract:
From review of historical projects, there is evidence that limitations in contemporary safety assurance approaches for software-dependent systems contribute to programmatic and certification difficulties, e.g. delays and risk retention. These difficulties arise particularly in relation to evaluating risk of systematic behavioural anomalies and evidence shortfalls or deficiencies. These findings question the effectiveness of current safety assurance approaches. Although these problems are general, this thesis is grounded in the context of Australian Defence Force aviation projects. Through analysing the purpose of safety assurance standards, this thesis establishes principles and guidelines for defining effective safety assurance frameworks for aviation systems. The principles and guidelines are used to define a novel integrated framework which is responsive to the specific challenges of military aviation systems acquisition. The framework qualifies knowledge of risks and uncertainty, focusing on product behaviour in the architectural context. It is based on evaluation of properties of architecture, including the prevention and tolerance of faults. Knowledge of product behaviours is informed by attributes of supporting evidence, and the tolerability of limitations in evidence. A key factor in the success of safety assurance standards, in an acquisition context, relates to their effectiveness for reducing uncertainty for supplier delivery of safety evidence across contracting processes. Thus this thesis also provides a method for contracting for the novel integrated framework. Evaluation of the principles, guidelines and framework has been conducted through peer review via workshop and survey questionnaire, analysis against real world aircraft architectures, analysis with respect to historical project data, a constructed example, anti-hypothesis analysis, and evaluation as an audit tool and contract evaluation aid on several projects. Evaluation on an actual project was not possible. A major factor identified in the effectiveness of safety assurance standards is how stakeholders are incentivised (or conversely discouraged) in decision making pertaining to product risk and evidence. This thesis shows that the novel integrated framework, through implementation of the principles and guidelines, could help to avoid the classes of project issues observed historically by enabling developers and assessors to focus on reasoning about the risks of behavioural properties of products, and in the production of evidence used to inform product behaviours. Further evaluation via application to actual projects is required to provide more definitive evidence of benefits and limitations.

Full textAbstract:
The aviation industry stands for about 2% of the global CO2 emissions and constitutes a large portion of what the individual can affect by their own decision making. A direct round-trip Stockholm to New York consumes about 50% of an individual's annual CO2 budget. This paper studies what role carbon offsetting has in the transition towards sustainable aviation. Sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), electrical aviation and abstaining from flying are also considered as potential approaches to making aviation more sustainable. The research method is both empirical and theoretical. Empirically, a Carbon Offsetting Assessment Framework evaluates airlines’ and online travel agencies’ (OTAs’) work with carbon offsetting and SAF. This is done from a Sweden-centric perspective. The airlines BRA, KLM and SAS score highest. Theoretically, a discussion of the dynamics of the aviation industry’s transition into sustainability is carried out through the multi-level perspective (MLP). Carbon offsetting is considered the best short-term solution for sustainable aviation due to availability and costefficiency. SAF is currently too expensive and the usage too low to yield significant emission reductions but is a promising mid-term solution. In the long-run, electrical aviation is the solution that has the potential to lower direct emissions to almost zero but it relies on major energy storage development and is not commercially viable today. The study also explains why carbon offsetting not should be used as a letter of indulgence but still is a good way to be certain that climate positive actions happen now and not are postponed or not happen at all.<br>Flygindustrin står för ungefär 2% av de globala CO2-utsläppen och utgör en stor andel av vad individen kan påverka genom sitt eget beslutsfattande. En direktresa tur- och retur Stockholm till New York konsumerar ungefär 50% av en individs ärliga CO2-budget. Den här studien undersöker vilken roll klimatkompensation har i en övergång mot hållbart flyg. Hållbart flygbränsle (SAF), elflyg och att avstå från att flyga har också utvärderats som potentiella tillvägagångssätt för att göra flyget mer hållbart. Studiens forskningsmetod är både empirisk och teoretisk. En modell för att empiriskt utvärdera flygbolags och onlineresebyråers (OTAs) arbete med klimatkompensation och SAF appliceras på en Sverigecentriskt urval av aktörer. Flygbolagen BRA, KLM och SAS får högst poäng. Vidare förs en teoretisk diskussion om dynamiken i flygbranschens övergång mot hållbart flyg genom “the multi-level perspective” (MLP). Klimatkompensation anses vara den bästa kortsiktiga lösningen för hållbart flyg eftersom det är tillgängligt och kostnadseffektivt. SAF är idag för dyrt och användandet för lågt för att resultera i betydelsefulla utsläppsminskningar men är icke desto mindre en lovande teknik på medellång sikt. På lång sikt är elflyg lösningen som har potential att minska direktutsläpp till nästan noll men det står och faller med avsevärd teknikutveckling inom energilagring och är inte kommersiellt tillgängligt idag. Studien förklarar också varför klimatkompensation inte borde användas som ett avlatsbrev men att det fortfarande är ett bra sätt att försäkra sig om att klimatpositiva handlingar sker idag och inte blir uppskjutna eller uteblir.

Alors même que l'aviation militaire faisait ses débuts en France, plusieurs territoires de l'Empire connurent des essais d'implantation aéronautique à la fin de la Belle Epoque. Parfois infructueux, ils montrent cependant l'engouement généralisé que suscita alors l'apparition de l'aéroplane. Ces tâtonnements amenèrent la création d'une aviation coloniale militaire en Afrique du Nord, mais le déclenchement de la Grande Guerre mit fin à l'expérience. La réapparition de l'aviation dans l'Empire résulta du développement des fronts périphériques à partir de 1916.

Those sometimes unsuccessful attempts testify to the general enthusiasm for the new invention, and brought about the establishment of a colonial air force in North Africa. The outbreak of the First World War brought the experiment to an end. Aviation returned to the Empire as a result of the development of peripheral fronts from 1916 onwards. With the return of peace and the extension of the air force overseas between the two world wars, aviation expanded in the French Empire and was devoted to the development and control of the colonies. However, the growing threats from Europe and the Far East in the late 1930s brought about an evolution of the French Colonial Air Force into a real defence force, i. E. An Imperial Air Force
