Aviation
#1Example Scenario

A new airframe component weighs 62 pounds. It is approximately cubicle, about two feet long on each side, and in smooth packaging. The AMT must position it at waist level during installation.

Issues

What is the best way for an AMT to lift this item?
How do you measure the Horizontal Location variable, “H”, for the NIOSH lifting equation in this situation?
What is the difference between the two vertical variables: “V” and “D”?
Would this be an example of a “Good” coupling?
If the AMT must hold the component to one side during installation, would this be better, or worse?

Paper details:The ACCIDENT IS: American Airlines Flight 191
The topic of the paper should be an accident that was caused directly by a human factor. I expect you to explain why the specific human factor contributed to the accident. This will include a thorough description of the factors and how they occurred. Additional emphasis should be on the specific hazards presented by the Human Factor in and around the event and the proper actions an aviator should undertake to deal with those specific hazards.

The student should make every effort to turn a textbook explanation of the phenomenon into a real-world report. The level of effort here will contribute to the overall grade. The student must access at least five sources for information that are of academic origin, so no wiki.

The paper must be at least 6 double spaced written pages in length, (not including the title and reference pages), using 12 point font. Use the APA style for proper format.(Title page, abstract, main body, and reference page) This does mean citations must be used and bibliography must be present. Pictures and tables of content will not count towards the paper length.
