What steps to discover all the chain of event of aiplane accident??

When the accident was occured ,the there’s were many steps and many time that must be spend to discover the all chain of the event that led the specific accident.First step,the investigators will piece together the accident with help from the flight data recorder, & cockpit voice recorder.The flight data recorder records the aircraft parameters like speed, altitude,& track. The CVR records the actual cockpit conversation.
Next step, pilots are taught CRM, or Cockpit Resource Management in order to guard against making errors that lead to a chain of events. The CRM is using all the resources including equipment, procedures, & people to promote safety and enhance the efficiency of flight operations. An example of a flight crew using CRM is lets say a crew heard a small vibration on a flight. The crew will investigate that vibration using resources like the checklist, checking with the flight attendants, the passengers, or calling maintenance while in flight so as to solve the problem of finding the source of that vibration. In otherwords, everyone including passengers have an input when it comes to safety. All it takes to avoid an accident is a well trained crew using CRM to avoid that critical chain of events, or recognizing when you started that chain and recovering from it. In the real world when a captain of a flight notices that a error in their flight, the captain will evaluate that mistake, risk, and refocus on methodically paying attention to details to continue a safe flight.

What agency that investigate airplane accident??


National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has the responsibility to  investigate of an accident and  prepared a report of their findings. The NTSB is an agency to determine the cause of the accident and to provide Safety Recommendations to the FAA or other entities as to how to avoid other accidents due to that cause. While,the FAA investigates an accident or incident to determine whether or not any Federal Aviation Regulation, FAA policy, or standard has a defect or needs to be changed or modified. 
These programs include such areas as pilot certification, aircraft certification, operating rules, etc. Both agencies work very closely with many other groups such as manufacturers, pilot groups, industry organizations, in order to accurately determine the cause of the accident. The FAA investigates all airplane accidents and incidents to some extent based on the specific situation while the NTSB prepares reports on selected accidents, normally those of a serious or significant nature based on the current NTSB criteria.Each agency was taken the specific responsibilities and functions to avoid the air crash accident happened back.

How to Survive AirPlane Crash (Part III)

This is the last part for the discussion about how to survive the airplane crash. Hope that all the stetps that given will help the air plane passengers after this. There are another three last steps which are :

1. Protect yourself from smoke.
smoke is responsible for a large percentage of crash fatalities. The smoke in an airplane fire can be very thick and highly toxic, so cover your nose and mouth with a cloth to avoid breathing it in. If possible, moisten the cloth to provide extra protection.

2. Get out of the airplane as quickly as possible.
If a flight attendant is able to instruct, listen to him or her, and cooperate to increase everyone’s chances of survival. (but sometimes they are not able to do so).
Don’t try to rescue your belongings.Make sure the exit you choose is safe.

3. Get at least 500 feet upwind from the aircraft.
Fire or explosion can result at any time after a crash, so put some distance between you and the plane. If the crash is in open-water, swim as far away from the plane wreckage as possible

How to Survive Air Plane Crash (Part II)

There were 4 steps to survive air plane crash that discussed at last post. So, it will be continue for 4 others steps for this post.

1. Keep your seatbelt securely fastened at all times.
If you are sleep at this time, you’ll be glad you kept your seatbelt on. In any case, make sure it is placed around you snugly before impact. However, if your belt slides up into your stomach, you have a greater chance of getting dangerous internal injuries.

2. Brace yourself for impact.
If you know you’re going to crash, brace yourself. Return your seat back to its full upright position and assume one of two "brace positions."

3. Remain calm.
Keep cool and think methodically and rationally to maximize that chance.

4. Put your oxygen mask on before assisting others.
If the integrity of the cabin is compromised, you have only about 15 seconds (often less if you’re a smoker or have circulatory or respiratory problems) to start breathing through your oxygen mask before you are rendered unconscious.
