GAGAN : AN INDIAN SBAS INITIATIVE

Augmentation of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is a method of improving the navigation system's attributes, such as accuracy, reliability, and availability, through the integration of external information into the calculation process. There are many such systems in place and they are generally named or described based on how the GNSS sensor receives the external information.

PRE-FLIGHT WORK PRESSURE FOR CREW

As a sequel to the Misplaced Priorities post, let's delve at the work pressures one is subjected to as crew during pre-flight phase.

Distractions and Interruptions abound during pre-flight stage from the time crew report to airport for briefing to the completion of pre-flight checks, and are ready to proceed on their way to the destination.

MISPLACED PRIORITIES

On Time Performance, is an Organizational culture that prioritized mission execution over aviation safety. Passengers, indeed, need to be assured that their travel schedule will be adhered to and delays avoided. At what cost?

History is replete with many instances of gross violation by crew and other support staff in resorting to shortcuts and breach of standard company procedures and protocols in the name of On Time Performance.
