The International Symposium for Personal and Commercial Spaceflight (ISPCS) is a nonprofit independently run annual event, that has taken place these past 11 years, whose speakers capture the growth and diversification of the global commercial space industry in the form of short powerful talks. Hence, it was appropriate that a 2015 snapshot of the commercial space industry should look at this body of experience and knowledge. The key developments, the key players and an accurate state of the industry are hereby presented through the eyes of the ISPCS from this past eleventh symposium that spanned two days and was held …

Data Mining And Social Media For Promotion And Marketing In The Aerospace Industry, Vrushali Suvarna, Mary M. Fink, Dawn Marcuse, Brent D. Bowen

Aviation / Aeronautics / Aerospace International Research Conference

Data mining and social media is an innovative platform for the aerospace industry to focus, promote and market the industry in the upcoming economy. Data mining techniques allow the industry to build a comprehensive system that helps to make intelligent management decisions in a formal system. On the other hand Social Media is used as a tool to ensure maximum return by entering a hybrid media landscape, one where the rapid growth of Social Media complements and enhances the efficiency of the industry. By using trend analysis this research would showcase benefits that the industry will achieve by increasing their …

Approach Stability From Fdm Data, Julie Bales, Brian J. Roggow

Aviation / Aeronautics / Aerospace International Research Conference

The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Prescott Campus maintains a fleet of twenty four aircraft, which includes sixteen Cessna 172S NavIII and four Diamond DA42NG equipped with flight data monitoring software capability. Flight data is recorded on an SD card within the multi-function display (MFD) of the Garmin G1000 system, which records 64 different parameters at a 1 hertz frequency. Data is extracted from the MFD at intervals encompassing two weeks of flight time. The data can be used to detect and analyze non-compliance with company operational policies, performance trends for higher-risk operations such as landing and takeoff, and to create both …

A Concept Model For Comparative Analysis Applied To The U.S. Airline Industry, Michelle M. Bennett, Jacqueline R. Luedtke, Brent D. Bowen Ed.D.

Aviation / Aeronautics / Aerospace International Research Conference

The objective of this research is to analyze the trends in quality and performance of US airlines over the past ten years and determine what economic factors influence the level service. By identifying variables that directly affect the level of performance using data from Airline Quality Rating (AQR), service benchmarks for the airline industry can be established. Industry standard is set by AQR providing consumers and industry watchers objective performance-based data to compare performance quality among different US airlines. The AQR weighted average formula highlights criteria including baggage handling, customer complaints, denied boarding and on-time arrivals. Analyzing the data over …

Assessing The Commercial Aviation Impact Of The Year 2000 Open Skies Agreements Between The United States And African Countries With Longstanding Flights, Tyler B. Spence, Micah Walala, Richard O. Fanjoy

Aviation / Aeronautics / Aerospace International Research Conference

The U.S. started a comprehensive campaign towards Open Skies agreement in 1992. The major benefits of Open sky agreement are reported to include increase of passenger and cargo volume between partners. This study analyzes passenger traffic and cargo volume between six African countries that have had commercial aviation with the U.S. since 1990 to 2014, and with direct flights between them. Two of the countries have had no Open Skies agreement with the U.S., while four have had Open Skies agreement beginning in 2000. A multi linear modeling process was applied on the two categories to determine whether there is …

A Meta-Analysis Of Crew Resource Management/Incident Command Systems Implementation Studies In The Fire And Emergency Services, John C. Griffith, Donna L. Roberts, Ronald T. Wakeham

Aviation / Aeronautics / Aerospace International Research Conference

The presentation will summarize a meta-analysis of studies on Crew Resource Management/Incident Command System implementation in the fire and emergency services. The need for using participative leadership tools such as CRM evolved from an NTSB recommendation that followed United Airlines Flight 173 crash in 1978. NASA, civilian and military aviation communities implemented Crew Resource Management (CRM) training to improve decisionmaking during flight operations. Maintenance Resource Management (MRM) was a variant of CRM and first appeared in a Federal Aviation Administration circular in 2000. CRM was adopted by the medical community in the 1990s, specifically in the surgical and nursing areas, …
