Guidelines on Probability of Failure Analysis for New Expendable Launch Vehicles : Version 1.0 This is a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Commercial Space Transportation document, dated November 2005. It provides definitions of key terms and performance standards for new expendable launch vehicle (ELV) failure probability analyses. A performance standard permits a launch operator to continue to employ alternative, potentially innovative methodologies if the results satisfy the performance standard. Current practice at the Federal launch ranges includes multiple methodologies for determining the probability of failure for new ELVs. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) here presents an acceptable method, but not necessarily the only method, to demonstrate compliance with the performance standard. The method suggested here is also intended to illustrate an acceptable level of fidelity for new ELV probability of failure analyses The document is available in PDF. Quality Crew Resource Management This is the full text of a paper from 1996 written by the Human Factors Group of the Royal Aeronautical Society. It is made available on the Web by the Neil Krey's CRM Developers, who exist to facilitate development of crew resource management and human factors resources and products. Boeing Space Systems : International Space Station This is the home page of the International Space Station (ISS). This site contains an overview of missions accomplished and continued assembly, mission modules, components and structures and systems such as crew return vehicles, communications and tracking and solar arrays. A House of Commons Defence Committe inquiry to examine aspects of the UK MoD€™s Defence Equipment programme. It examines areas of weakness and poor performance with particular focus on armoured vehicles and the future of the FRES (Future Rapid Effect System) programme, strategic air-lift and maritime capability. Online Exhibits at the Archives of Ontario This site provides a list of online exhibitions at the Archives of Ontario and links to them. The exhibitions include: Canadian posters from the First World War; the Home Front which looks at Ontario-based regiments' participation in the D-Day landings at Normandy; the War of 1812; the American Civil War and Fenian Raids in the 1860s; World War One war artists; children's art from the Spanish Civil War; and Canadian war heroes. French and english language versions of the site are available. Biosecurity: Limiting Terrorist Access to Deadly Pathogens This web site provides access to the full text of a paper by Jonathan B. Tucker which was published by the United States Institute for Peace in November 2003. The paper examines the potential threat of terrorist threats from biological agents and biological weapons in the wake of events of September 11, 2001. It then assesses US and international measures and legislation to prevent terrorist access to them. It should be noted that the full text is in pdf format and so requires access to an Adobe Acrobat Reader for use. Sound Noise Limits : Options for a Uniform Noise Limiting Scheme for EU Airports This is a European Commission Directorate-General for Energy and Transport (DG TREN) report, prepared by consultants CE, dated January 2005. The objective of this study is to develop and assess a limited number of approaches to setting noise limits at larger EU airports. The key question is primarily in what way could noise limits be defined, the question at what level should such limits be set is much less object of study. Options on how noise limits can most efficiently be met are beyond the scope of this study. The text of the report is available in PDF format (862 KB), from the EC's Air Transport Portal. Active Control of Separated Flow over a Circular-Arc Airfoil This web site provides access to a Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Department of Engineering Mechanics MSc thesis, by Sergio Miranda, dated 8 May 2000. The thesis describes an experimental study of active control of fully separated flow over a symmetrical circular-arc airfoil at high angles of attack. Pressure measurements over the airfoil indicated that the control increased the normal force coefficient by up to 70%. Bibliographic and abstract details are available in HTML format. The full text of the document is accessible online in PDF format [two volumes 5.91 Mb, and 3.37 Mb]. This title is part of Virginia Techs Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Collection (VT ETD). UK MoD Central Data Management Authority (CDMA) The CDMA is a tri-service and civil service organisation whose remit is to ensure the consistent definition of data across the Ministry of Defence in order to enable information systems interoperability. This website contains information on the CDMA including its mission, vision and tasks, and an explanation on the importance of data management. It also contains full text DG Information Information Exploitation (IX) Documentation including the BluePrint for Defence Information Exploitation, Knowledge Strategy and IX Principles. The policies section provides access to Joint Services Publication (JSP) 329 Issue 2 Version 4.0 Data Management Policy Set, which contains the detailed policies DM1 to DM10 which cover the Data Management Framework, MOD Policy on Data Naming, Data Interface Standards, Configuration Management and Data Definition Procedures. The site also links to the unclassified version of the Defence Data Repository (DDR). JTA is a document containing the minimum set of standards and guidelines for the aquisition of all Department of Defense systems for exchange of information. This site, hosted by the Department of Defense IT Standards Registry, DISR, provides the full text pdf of version 6, published on 3rd October 2003. The chapters cover information processing, transfer, modelling, metadata, exchange, human computer interface and information security standards. This is the home page of this group which is based at the University of Maryland. The site provides background information to the group's interests and briefly describes research projects being undertaken. The site also gives the opportunity to download the full text of several technical reports written by members of the group for AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) conferences and for the American Helicopter Society. These are in PDF format. FAA Office of System Safety - Safety Reports This is part of the web site of the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of System Safety. The web site provides access to selected current reports and studies. The Weather Study includes all accidents where the NTSB has determined weather to be a causal or contributing factor. The Aviation Safety Data Accessibility Study, examines a range of issues related to increasing the accessibility of aviation safety data. The Aviation Safety Statistical Handbook contains information on national airspace incidents and accidents. System Indicators provides information on the current status and trends in the National Aviation System operations. The data include accident and incident rates and measures of efficiency, inspector activity, compliance and environmental factors. The annual System Indicators report is available for downloading in Microsoft Word 6.0 format. Spreadsheet files(Microsoft Excel ver. 4.0) containing System Indicators data, updated quarterly, are also available. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) : Office of Airline Information The Office of Airline Information is part of the US Department of Transportation, and provides a wide range of data related to air transportation. This site provides downloadable data on a wide range of areas, namely: on-time statistics, the FAA Statistical Handbook of Aviation, rural airports, BTS transportation indicators, fuel cost and consumption, air carrier aviation data, US passenger and freight statistics and employees in certificated carriers. Future Aerospace Technology in the Service of the Alliance This is Research and Technology Organization(RTO) AGARD Conference Proceedings, AGARD-CP-600-Vol-1, dated December 1997. This proceedings was sponsored by the Advisory Group for Aerospace Research and Development. This is one of the three volumes containing the unclassified papers presented at a conference at Palaiseau, near Paris, France, 14-17 April 1997. The conference took the form of three parallel symposia and three plenary sessions. This volume contains the papers from the three plenary sessions: Future Directions in Aerospace Systems Future NATO Trends and Mission Scenarios Human Machine Interaction in the Future and the symposium on "Affordable Combat Aircraft", which had sessions on: Affordability of Procurement, Combat Effectiveness, Affordability of Ownership, The Human Element.
