Airport and the Environment

 Airport water pollution is an increasingly concerning issue in the aviation industry. Airports are responsible for a large amount of water pollution due to the high volume of aircraft and ground support equipment operating in and around them. This includes oil, fuel, de-icing fluid, and other contaminants that can pollute local rivers, lakes, and streams. The effects of airport water pollution can be devastating to local ecosystems and human health. In order to reduce the environmental impact of airports, it is important to understand the sources of airport water pollution as well as effective strategies for reducing or eliminating these pollutants. 

Airports are a major source of water pollution, with the potential to cause significant damage to local ecosystems and human health. Reducing airport water pollution is an important step towards protecting our environment and ensuring the safety of our drinking water. In order to reduce airport water pollution, airports must implement strategies that focus on reducing runoff, monitoring and treating wastewater, and improving stormwater management. Additionally, airports should take steps to educate their staff and passengers on ways they can reduce their environmental impact while traveling. By taking these steps, airports can help protect our environment while still providing safe and efficient travel services.

Ethics In Aviation Maintenance

Image
 When we talk about ethics people tend to throw out a saying of "doing the right thing". But what does that actually mean, "doing the right thing". To understand ethics is to understand morals, and for a person to understand morals this same person must separate their own personal beliefs and put themselves in someone else's shoes. The reason I say this is because we are all different and we all come from a different background, different upcoming, different cultures and beliefs. This can also factor into why people have a different way of how they view right and wrong.  A current issue in the aviation field in todays world is the constant battle between pilots and maintainers. When we hear about crashes like the recent one at Hill AFB and the F-35. maintainers usually panic because most leadership officials will start to nitpick at maintenance things unrelated to the crash. people will start to assume and make up their own story on what they think could've ...

Why Aircraft Deicing is Critical for Flight Safety

 When we talk about Environmental Factors on Aircraft performance we tend to jump to thunderstorms, strong winds, snow, and ice just to name a few. these are all things that can have a major impact on flight operations for an aircraft. Today I have a short story on how Environments play a major role in performance on aircraft. in England we usually get pretty cold winters, some where from like 0 degrees to -5 degrees Celsius some nights. well during a week of weather like this we usually get aircraft that suffer from frozen flight controls or ice/ snow on the wing. typical practice is just to get the De-Icer out and spray the jets down before crew show and things. if you didn't know what a De-Icer is, its basically a truck that spays a chemical to essentially defrost the jet. during a normal work morning we ran into a situation where our De-Icer had actually broken down and we couldn't deice the jets. as a result our take off times where pushed back and leadership wanted to tak...
