For this activity, you will prepare a Pecha Kucha.
You will pick a specific aircraft, different from the one you used before.
Identify how DC power is generated on that aircraft and what systems it is typically used for.
Analyze and compare the effectiveness of DC over AC for one of these systems. Why use DC and not AC?
Instructions
This assignment uses a modified 10×20 Pecha Kucha approach requiring a brief 10-slide presentation with 20 seconds of discussion per slide either in audio or caption format. Be creative and think about how you can incorporate other visual aids to add to your presentation!

Title: The Importance of Routine Maintenance for the Safety of Boeing 767-300ER Operations
Minimum of 7 pages; including a title page and a reference page. Typed and double-spaced, cover page, with scholarly resources, cited both in-text and on a reference page (per APA format).
Reseach the general/routine maintenance plan for the Boeing 767-300ER. Dive deep into how important routine maineance is for the safety of airline operations. Be sure to showcase how critical it is to ensure airline maintenance operations are following guidance for geNeral and overhaul maintenance from the FAA.
Take a look into how the ETOPS certification/rating changed the use of the 767-300ER for the better and discuss general training and maintenance required for a modern ETOPS system. Please use additional sources. Below are some examples. More sources on planned maintenance will need to be researched.

Title: Diversity in the Aviation Industry: Barriers and Challenges
Overview
We tend to think of diversity across racial, gender or ethnic lines. However, diversity is found in differing traditions, cultures, identities, genders, expressions, orientations, ages, abilities, religious beliefs, economic backgrounds, and racial/ethnic origins. In some ways, the aviation industry is very diverse, yet in other ways it is not.
The following excerpt is from a September 2014 publication in The Hill by Michael L. Zirulnik titled, “Airlines’ Flight Decks Lack Diversity”:
“The chief pilot asked me to hire a black female pilot so we could check off a ‘diversity’ box on a reporting form so we could keep our government contracts,” a human resources director of a mid-sized air cargo transport company told me last year at a pilot recruiting event. “Once I did hire that woman, the chief pilot came back to me and said to never hire another one [black female pilot] again. Things are gonna stay the way they’ve always been around here,” she said.
That same day, a captain at a large regional airline said his company probably isn’t going to hire black pilots anymore because “they drop out of training or quit after a year here.”
Research shows that minority pilots, including female pilots, are as capable, if not more capable and qualified, than their white male counterparts even though coworkers and the public attribute the reason for their being hired as the need to fill quotas.
The flight deck of U.S. airlines remains a predominantly white male landscape. Besides Helen Richey, the first female commercial pilot, hired in 1932 — subsequently forced to quit a year later due to a change in U.S. regulations that forbid women to fly in conditions other than “fair weather” — it wasn’t until 1973 that women were allowed back into the flight decks of U.S. airlines. Twenty-two years onward, the first black woman would earn her wings and become captain of a major airline (UPS). So novel and memorable, Patrice Clark-Washington’s mannequin and uniform remain on permanent display at the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum in Washington.
Today, 4.1 percent of airline transport pilots (ATPs) are women, 2.7 percent are black or African-American, 2.5 percent are Asian and 5 percent are Hispanic or Latino.
An analysis of segregation in U.S. industry hiring practices using data from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for the years 1966 to 2003 that accounted for race, ethnicity and sex, shows that workplace desegregation stalled at 1980 levels. The failure has in part contributed to the monolithic demography of U.S. ATPs and a culture of whiteness and masculinity in the flight deck.

Instructions
Your assignment is to reflect on this article and the information provided in your book and write an essay on whether you believe systemic barriers exist to prevent diversity in the aviation workplace.
Be sure to answer the following questions in your paper:
Does diversity in aviation exist, and if so, where can it be found and what evidence or statistics supports its existence?
Are there any systemic barriers to prevent diversity in aviation? If so, what are they?
Are there any issues on diversity once people have gotten a job within the industry? In other words, are there any barriers or issues once those from less represented backgrounds do find a position in the aviation industry?

“Managing Dual Markets: The Logistics and Considerations of Running a Cargo and Passenger Airline”
I need a 200 word response to “Servicing both markets requires a great deal of preparation and coordination. The logistics of running such an operation would, for me, be overwhelming and I would have to crunch the numbers to see if it would be worth the extra effort. Our coursebook states three different kinds of cargo operators– integrators, passenger airlines, and cargo airlines (Bruce, 2017). Integrators have their own fleet of airplanes, trucks, and facilities. This ensures they have complete control over all their operations, and streamlines door-to-door deliveries. While this is ideal, creating such a company is extremely difficult as it requires significant capital investment and a complex network of logistics and infrastructure.
Passenger airlines will sometimes offer to sell extra cargo space below deck to companies for them to transport goods alongside passenger baggage. This is perhaps one of the most difficult operations to manage out of the three as it requires careful planning to balance cargo and passenger needs. For instance, cargo space is limited on passenger flights, and priority is usually given to passengers, which can result in less flexibility for cargo operations. Clear communication and cooperation between the airline, the company whose goods are being shipped, and the airport are essential for this system to work.
The final operation is cargo airlines. This type of operation involves dedicated cargo planes that are specifically designed and used for transporting goods. They could be part of a passenger airline or on their own, and similar to integrators, they offer scheduled services, charter services, or contract services for customers. Another similarity you may find between cargo airlines and integrators is the aircraft they use. Often, older passenger airplanes will be purchased and converted to freighters. The reasoning behind this is these planes are rarely flown more than a few hours a day, and this step-down in usage prolongs their lifespan.
Both commercial airline passenger travel and cargo operations are intense operations that require coordination between the supplier and consumer. If I were to assume the responsibility of both, I would lean heavily toward using the final option, cargo airline. This alleviates a lot of the pressure of trying to coordinate space underneath the plane, and the possibility of being denied that space for weight and balance reasons. The first option is ideal if dealing solely with cargo, but it requires a great deal of your attention due to the high management demand so one would essentially be trying to run two separate businesses simultaneously. This would inevitably cause burnout quickly. I believe a cargo operation is a sweet spot where a few cargo planes are part of your larger passenger airline operation.” -

“Adapting to the Low-Cost Carrier Revolution: A Strategic Analysis of [Airline Name]”
1. The rise of the low-cost carrier (LCC) business model has transformed the airline industry business environment in most parts of the world. Beginning with Southwest Airlines in the USA in the late 1970s, through to easyJet and Ryanair since the mid-1990s in Europe and Air Asia since the early 2000’s, the airline industry in the largest markets of the world have been radically reshaped by this business model. As a result, many traditional full-service network carriers (FSNC) have adapted their business models to cope with this threat.
Choose any 1 airline, from any business model, and using relevant strategic management theory, evaluate how your chosen airline has adapted its business model over time and analyse its recent commercial performance. Provide recommendations for future strategic direction. -
