Ethics in The Aviation World

With it being spring time and I am on the east coast there are a lot of thunderstorms currently so I thought it would fit perfect with this weeks topic. To understand how much of a hazard they are it is important to first understand how they form. If there is warm air with moisture rises into a colder one it then forms into what's called a convention cell. Once this happens and the warm air cools it creates water droplets and forms the cloud, when this happens at a larger scale and it moves quickly it develops into thunderstorm. The Federal Aviation Association (FAA) advises pilots to stay away from thunderstorms and to change flight plan by navigating 20 miles away from the storm. The reason for this is because the severity of the turbulence coul

The main difference between the two is the tower itself is in charge of the landing and take off as well as the ground traffic. They give out clear instructions to the pilots in the air maintaining control of the traffic in and out of the air space. From the tower they watch outside and also use surface radar.       The Flight Service Station (FSS) is an air traffic facility that provides information and services to the pilots before, during and after the flights. The FSS can also give more detailed information regarding weather compared to ATCT. The difference between the two as far as location is the ATCT is physically there able to have eyes on the runways and weather with radars, where as FSS is in a remote area and canno
