Aerospace Engineering Question – 20210628r

Essay on Which came first? https://lessonslearned.faa.gov/ll_main.cfm?TabID=2&LifeCycleID=3&LLID=75 Assume you are the Director of Quality at No-Name Airlines. You are tasked to manage the Continuing Analysis and Surveillance System (CASS) program for this air carrier. No-Name Airlines operates the same make and model aircraft (Embraer EMB-120RT) as the one in this fatal accident. Your goal is to prevent any such occurrence at No-Name Airlines. You have some searing questions regarding this accident since you are looking at this event as an outsider (i.e., no first-hand experience at Atlantic Southeast Airlines or the accident investigation). Some questions that come to mind might include the following: 1. Was there a manufacturing flaw? 2. Did the maintenance team perform a flaw or failed to follow procedures or work processes? 3. Did the inspection department fail to detect an anomaly during the component inspection/overhaul? 4. Was the failure due to fatigue that led to corrosion that exacerbated the article in question? 5. Did corrosion lead to fatigue cracking of the related component? As a proclaimed ‘safety advocate’, you desperately want to ensure that measures are put in place at No-Name Airlines which should mitigate such an occurrence on its fleet of EM B-120RT aircraft. After a thorough review of the Atlantic Southeast accident of Flight 529, you develop a strategy to mitigate the risk(s) involved in your organization. You consider possibly reinforcing the following areas: • Greater emphasis on oversight of contracted maintenance providers/vendors, if work is performed off-site; • Possibly evaluate current inspection techniques, tooling, special equipment, and inspector training; • Possibly evaluate past component reliability, failure trends (malfunctions/defects), while noting any anomalies, particularly regarding the failed component involved in the Atlantic Southeast accident; • Re-evaluate current inspection programs for No-Nameis EMB-120RT fleet, particularly regarding the failed component involved in the Atlantic Southeast accident; • Examine current operational parameters, particularly regarding the failed component involved in the Atlantic Southeast accident; and • Any other areas you feel should be included in your assessment of No-Name’s risk mitigation strategy.
