Book Description
'There has never been a mid ocean ditching by an air carrier jet.' These are the words that haunt Captain Charlie Wells when he realizes that his jumbo jet has a problem over the Atlantic. None of the passengers or crew could know that a disgruntled airline mechanic has sentenced them to a night of terror. As the flight approaches the Equal Time Point and is the most distant from land, Captain Wells and his crew of pilots and flight attendants struggle to avoid making history. While airline personnel, the FAA, and the FBI try to solve the mystery of Tri Con Flight Eleven, a small U.S. Navy ship may be the only hope for the 208 souls on board. Ride along in the cockpit as this routine international flight becomes a nightmare that will require all the flight staff's training to survive. After reading Equal Time Point, frequent flyers and first-time passengers will find themselves studying the emergency procedure card in the seatback before their next flight.

Book Description
On January 16, 2007, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued revi- sed regulatory material relating to the operation of all aircraft on flights with the potential for extended time diversions. As a result, the term ETOPS has been redefined as “Exten- ded Operations” and now includes the operation of all transport aircraft, regardless of the number of engines (except All- Cargo operations of airplanes with more than 2-engines), further than specific threshold times from available enroute diversion airports. The new FAA rules, while still limiting two-engine airplanes to routes that remain within 60 minutes from an Adequate Airport, unless the operator is approved for ETOPS, will now allow two-engine airplanes to be flown on ETOPS routes with diversion times greater than 240 minutes flying time in certain geographic regions. Passenger airplanes with more than two engines will also be required to meet ETOPS requirements under the new rules, whenever they are operated more than 180 minutes from an Adequate Airport. ETOPS Operational Approvals may be granted to operators if the airframe/engine combi- nation being used has been approved for such flights and the operator has established ac- ceptable operations and maintenance programs. FAA Advisory Circulars, AC 120-42B and AC 135-42, provide guidelines for the additional operations, maintenance, reliability and training programs that are required of an FAA ETOPS operator. NOTE: Based on Boeing operations. Only for information purpose. For real flight refer to Boeing manuals.

Book Description
Most aviation accidents are attributed to human error, pilot error especially. Human error also greatly effects productivity and profitability. In his overview of this collection of papers, the editor points out that these facts are often misinterpreted as evidence of deficiency on the part of operators involved in accidents. Human factors research reveals a more accurate and useful perspective: The errors made by skilled human operators - such as pilots, controllers, and mechanics - are not root causes but symptoms of the way industry operates. The papers selected for this volume have strongly influenced modern thinking about why skilled experts make errors and how to make aviation error resilient.

Book Description
Mathematics and aviation have gone hand in hand since the dawn of time. From the first flight of the Wright brothers, pilots have needed to perform calculations for every phase of flight. From calculating the aircraft's range to converting temperature. Thus, mathematics has become an indispensable part of the acronautical world and any type of aircraft, regardless of its size and performance. While modern aircraft are equipped with computerized systems that perform all the calculations and relay the results to the pilot, in less-equipped aircraft, it is the pilot who must perform all the computations to optimize resources and ensure flight safety. One of the mathematical cornerstones for aeronautical computations is the mathematical rule known as the "simple rule of three." A mathematical principle that has guaranteed success in aeronautical calculations and remains relevant today. In this work, you will not learn simple mathematics, but rather mathematics applied to aviation. This is not a mathematics book; it is an aeronautical book that will teach you some mathematical concepts to optimize your flight.

Book Description
Autonomous agents have become a vibrant research and development topic in recent years attracting activity and attention from various areas. The basic agent concept incorporates proactive autonomous units with goal-directed-behaviour and communication capabilities. The book focuses on autonomous agents that can act in a goal directed manner under real time constraints and incomplete knowledge, being situated in a dynamic environment where resources may be restricted. To satisfy such complex requirements, the author improves, combines, and applies results from areas like planning, constraint programming, and local search. The formal framework developed is evaluated by application to the field of computer games, which fit the problem context very well since most of them are played in real time and provide a highly interactive environment where environmental situations are changing rapidly.

Book Description
Economics of Education: Research and Studies reviews key topics in the field of economics of education since 1960s. This book is organized into 12 parts. Part I and Part II focus on the supply side of human capital and narrower aspects of human capital creation by means of education. Subsequent parts look at the benefits of education; relationship between education and employment; controversies in the field of economics of education; issues of manpower planning; and methodology for empirically analyzing the issues in the economics of education. The last two parts address the costs of education, with emphasis on cost function, analysis and on the financing of education.
