About This Document

H400 - In this report, we will discuss about Advanced Aerodynamics. A lot of the airlines like helicopters, airplanes, jet planes, and air balloons are designed to make sure that there is a huge level of safety provided to passengers. Still, aviation accidents take place and are harmful to lives. These aviation accidents can take place due to various key factors such as human error, bad climatic conditions, failure of the engine, aviation element breakdown, or breakdown of the device. Apart from that, other usual factors that lead to aviation accidents are errors in the traffic control systems, bird strikes, fire in the cabin, defects in design, sabotage, inadequate fuelling, high jacking, and lighting issues.

IntroductionAn air crash is the aviation mishap and accident (He & Li, 2011). A lot of the airlineslike helicopter, airplanes, jet planes and air balloons are designed to make sure that there is ahuge level of safety provided to passengers. Still, the aviation accidents take place and areharmful to lives. It is unavoidable accident that can’t be predicted. It brings the tragic loss oflife. These aviation accidents can take place due to various key factors such as human error,bad climatic conditions, and failure of engine, aviation element breakdown or breakdown ofthe device. Apart from that, other usual factors that lead to the aviation accidents are theerrors of traffic control system, bird strikes, fire in the cabin, and defects in design, sabotage,inadequate fuelling, high jacking and lighting issues. The case of an Asiana Airlines Flight214 Boeing with number 777-200ER, HL7742 San Francisco, California, has beenconsidered to understand the skills that are required to be taught to those who seek to be apart of the piloting career.Causes of eventThe National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) estimated numerous standardsconcerning fatigue like the last sleep and its quality, circadian aspects along with the timeperiod awake etc. It was concluded that the main cause of the accident was that during thataccident all the three pilots had been going through any kind of fatigue. This might be adisturbance in the circadian regularityand having less or broken sleep then usual sleep.Therefore, the performances of all the pilots were spoiled at the time of accident.Fatigue is a human aspect which is not easy to be defined but when we look at otherswe can identify this feeling. It can be a psychological/ mental or physical kind of fatigue. Bypsychological/ mental fatigue there can be a drop seen in the cognitive behaviour. It reducesthe capacity to carry out any task in a secure an effective way. On the other hand, a physical
