ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

• First of all I would like to thank Ms.Nina Ramachandran for her support and encouragement.

• I would also like to thank Frankfinn institute who gave me this wonderful opportunity.

CONTENT:-• OPEN SKIES POLICY.• INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTS OF AIRCRAFT.• COMMUNICATION ON BOARD.• CASE STUDY.• SERVICE ON BOARD.• SPECIAL PASSENGER.

• EMERGENCY SITUATION.• MEALS ON BOARD.

History of aviation industry in India• The origin of Indian civil aviation industry can be

traced back to 1912, when the first air flight between Karachi and Delhi was started by the Indian State Air Services in collaboration with the UK based Imperial Airways.

• It was an extension of London-Karachi flight of the Imperial Airways. In 1932, JRD Tata founded Tata Airline, the first Indian airline.

• At the time of independence, nine air transport companies were carrying both air cargo and passengers.

• These were Tata Airlines, Indian National Airways, Air service of India, Deccan Airways, Ambica Airways, Bharat Airways, Orient Airways and Mistry Airways. After partition Orient Airways shifted to Pakistan.

• Aviation Industry in India is one of the fastest growing aviation industries in the world.

• With the liberalization of the Indian aviation sector, aviation industry in India has undergone a rapid transformation.

• From being primarily a government-owned industry, the Indian aviation industry is now dominated by privately owned full service airlines and low cost carriers. Private airlines account for around 75% share of the domestic aviation market.

• Earlier air travel was a privilege. only a few could afford, but today air travel has become much cheaper and can be afforded by a large number of people.

Aviation Industry in India

P1a)With open skies policy came in a number of low cost airlines describe how they have brought about a growth in the aviation sector there by adding to the co8untries economy.

Open skies is an international policy concept which calls for the liberalization of rules and regulations on international aviation industry most specially commercial aviation - opening a free market for the airline industry.

A low cost airline is that which generally has low fares and less comforts. To make up for revenue lost in decreased ticket prices, the airline may charge for extras like food, priority boarding, seat allocating, and baggage etc.

SOME OF THE LOWCOST AIRLINES IN INDIA ARE

• Air India express

• Indigo

• Go air

• Spice jet

• Jet lite

• Kingfisher red

Advantages of low cost airlines

• It saves time.• It promotes great vacations.• It is extremely convenient.• It saves money.• It allows more people to fly.

DISADVANTAGES OF LOW COST AIRLINES:

• Service is limited.• Comforts are limited.• Price will not return back if we cancel our

reservatin.

Spice Jet is a low-cost airline based in New Delhi, India. It began service in May 2005. Earlier known as Royal Airways, it is a reincarnation of ModiLuft. SpiceJet marked its entry in service with Rs. 99 fares for the first 99 days. There were 9000 seats available at this rate. It followed it up with a Rs. 999promotional scheme on select routes. Their marketing theme is "offering low'everyday spicy fares' and great guest services to price conscious travelers".It was voted as the best low-cost airline in South Asia and Central Asia region by Skytrax in 2007

• The airline was established in June

2004. On 9 June 2005 Go Air announced that it intended to launch operations in October 2005 with a fleet of 20 leased Airbus A320 aircraft.

• Initial flights would be in the southern and western areas of India with the first nine A320s, the remaining 11 aircraft being added in the second year.

• At the time the airline was in discussion with both Airbus and Boeing on the purchase of between 20 and 40 new aircraft, with a contract to be in place by the end of 2005 and with deliveries to start by 2007 .

P1a) Briefly describe how the above airlines have brought about a growth in the aviation sector there by adding to the country’s economy.

Improvement of India’s economy By low cost Airlines• The GDP growth rate was

less than 1% in 1991 and has raised to 8.5%

• India is set to become the world’s largest consumer market within next 25 years

• Corporate earnings are forecast to rise 21% in 2006

• India’s purchasing power parity is currently the fourth largest in the world

P1a) In the diagram provide by your assessor label the interiors and exterior parts of the given aircraft and describe their function.

Interiors parts of aircraft :-

Interiors parts of aircraft :-

Cockpit.Cabin.Lavatory.Galley.Cargo.

CockpitA cockpit is the area, usually near the front of an aircraft, from which a pilot controls the aircraft. From the cockpit an aircraft is controlled on the ground and in the air.

Cabin:-The portion of enclosed airplane intended for the transport of passengers.• An airliner can have a single deck or a double deck, like a boeing 747 (A380).

Lavatory:-•All lavatories are similar in design, though size and contour may vary depending on its location.•lavatory contains a toilet, washbasin, mirror, disposal units & necessary vanity item holder & drawers.•In addition there is an attendant call button, a ‘RETURN TO SEAT’ sign and an overhead compartment containing two oxygen masks.

Galley:-•The ‘kitchen’ of the aircraft is called the galley. •The number of galleys in each airliner depends on the number of passengers that aircraft can carry & the size of the aircraft itself.•All galleys have the provision for storing & preparing food & beverages. Cargo:-•Usually provided on the underside of the aircraft for storage of passenger baggage & freight.•It is consist of three parts. Forward, Aft & Bulk cargo.

External parts of aircraft:-

Under carriage.Fuselage.Wings.Tail.Navigation lights.Rudder.Ailerons.

Under carriage:-•Located underneath the plane, it allows the plane to land supports it while it on ground.•It also has the mechanism to reduce and absorb the shock of landing to acceptable limits.• it is of two types. Nose landing gear and Main landing gear.

• A rudder is a flat plane or sheet of material attached with hinges to the craft's stern, tail or after end.• Often rudders are shaped so as to minimize aerodynamic drag. On simple watercraft, a tiller essentially, a stick or pole acting as a lever arm—may be attached to the top of the rudder to allow it to be turned.

RUDDER:-

• The part of the plane that provides lift and support the weight of plane and passengers.

• The part of the aircraft, which is streamlined, and the wings and tails are attached to it. Central body portion of a plane designed to carry fuel, passengers, freight and mail.

• Movable portion of wings found on the outer part of the wing on the trailing edge, which moves up and down. These are used to make the plane turn and control the roll of the aircraft.

Wings:-

Fuselage:-

Ailerons:-

Tail :-•It is helps to nose to move the direction up, down, right and left.

Navigation lights:-

•Navigation lights are used to identify the aircraft goes which directions. •Its has two colors lights.•Red light is left side and green light is right side.

P1b) In a medical/technical on flight justify how you would communicate on board asking for help.p1b

• It was U.S airways flight 1549, the plane has got a bird strike.

• They lost hope on both the engines, so they thought to land on water.

• P2 informs the sr.most and they will safely lands on water. Their conversation between them is:

P2: (takes the intercom) we have technical problem we are going to land on water, please prepare for ditching.

Sr.most: (takes the intercom) stop your service and prepare for ditching.

And makes an announcement to the passengers:o Ladies and gentle men, there is an emergency

evacuation, we are going to land on water.o Please don’t be panic you are in a safe hand.o Please fasten your seat belts, keep your seat

backs in upright position.o Your cooperation is very much important to us.

Thank you.

Technical problem on flight , I communicate on board :-

Mean while, the crew do the pre-flight check related to emergencies. like,

They’ll see that no loose item is there, lavatory clear, galley checked, cabin secured etc.

Then they’ll take their places. Now, when they landed, crew checks the outside area

and opens the door in arm position, then helps the passengers.

Crew1 with pregnant women: Mam, please don’t be panic, I’ll help you to get down, inflate your life vest fast.

Crew2(in water): hurry, come this side. Passenger I’m having breathing problem. Crew2: wear this oxygen mask don’t worry, every thing

will be alright. Within 80secs every one evacuates from the flight. And crew carries emergency equipments like,• Radio beacon.• Oxygen bottles with first-aid mask.• First aid kit.• Physician’s kit.• Dry fruits (if possible)

P2a.With the help of a case study identify the safety and evacuation features of that particular flight. explain the operation of the feature identified by you.

Case study:

• In the evolution of aviation safety it is often recognized that after an accident, accident investigators conduct exhaustive research in the cause of such accidents.

• Often, once a conclusion is reached, regulations are put in force to prevent such accidents from happening.

15 Jan 2009 US Airways flight 1549 has crash landed in the icy Hudson River in New York City.The Airbus A320 was heading 155 people on board, including the 2 pilots and 3 flight attendants.Due to one engine failure by the bird strike and fuel leakage also.So it is landed on water.

summary

The Evacuation procedure they followed, The Evacuation procedure they followed, identified by me:identified by me:

When the commander has come to know that there will be a ditching.

He informed the ATC people about the landing. He then informed the senior most to make the

cabin prepared for landing. Senior most confirmed “Cabin Secure” from the

remaining crew and informed commander. The flight landed the crew checked the outside

position and opens the Door in Arm position. The Raft inflated, Senior most announces to

“Evacuate” using the Power Megaphone and guides all the passengers to the exits.

Remaining crew helped the passengers in evacuating.

The raft opens out when the door is opened in arm mode and inflates automatically. The passengers and crew then slide down and move away to safety.

Hand held loud speakers used by crew to enable them to direct emergency evacuation procedures by being heard over various sounds associated with emergency.

Raft:

Power Megaphone:

RADIO BEACON: • It is a device on board to give signal or network to contact outside in emergency.

LIFE JACKET: •It is know as personal flotation device .• It is a device designed to wearer, either conscious or unconscious, to keep afloat in water with head's face above the water surface when in or on water.

P3a,b&c Identify and explain the cockpit and cargo with relevance to cabin crew?

Operation of cockpit relevant to cabin crew:-

The forward section of an aircraft where the pilots seats during a flight known as cockpit.

Cockpit room contains two windows, it can open at emergences.

Descend device is there on windows.

Fire axe at cockpit door.

Voice recorder is there , but it stores memory of last half an hour, before thing will delete in it atomically.

Cockpit door is bullet proof & double locked.

Only DGCA, licensed people and operating crew are allowed to enter cockpit.

It is the responsibility of Cabin crew to serve the cockpit crew.P1 should be served beverages from Port Side (LEFT).P2 should be served beverages from his Star Board Side (RIGHT).Same food at same time should not be served to the cockpit crew because there may be a chance of food poisoning.Same time both the pilots should not leave the cockpit.Incase of Incapacitated pilot, Senior most helps the operating crew for landing by reading the CHECK LIST.

Cargo relevant to cabin crew:- Usually Cargo contains passenger Luggage/Baggage.Cargo contains 3 parts, it is down of cabin the 3 parts are: 1. forward cargo. 2. aft cargo. 3. bulk cargo.Cabin crew has nothing to do with the cargo.When a passenger comes with an extra baggage, crew calls the loader and handovers it to him.

D (Unit 4&9) Critically analyze the advantages of the current scenario in the aviation industry. Justify your reasons with the help of the data collected by you for your presentations. Your presentations should conclude by your comparison of the old technology (airbus A-300) with the new technology ( airbus A-380). Your concluding statement should give your own opinion as a result of the research conducted by you.

CURRENT SCENARIOOil prices increasing.Prices of air tickets are increasing.Merges and acquisitions.Sacking of employees.Cancellation of flights on some routes.Decline in rate of people traveling by

air.Many airlines are facing losses.

ADVANTAGES THE INDIAN AVIATION BY INDUSTRY IS ONE OF THE

FASTEST GROWING AVIATION INDUSTRIES IN THE WORLD.

WITH THE LIBERALIZATION OF THE INDIAN AVIATION SECTOR, AVIATION INDUSTRY IN INDIA HAS UNDERGONE A RAPID TRANSFORMATION.

FROM BEING PRIMARILY A GOVERNMENT-OWNED INDUSTRY, THE INDIAN AVIATION INDUSTRY IS NOW DOMINATED BY PRIVATELY OWNED FULL SERVICE AIRLINES AND LOW COST CARRIERS.

PRIVATE AIRLINES ACCOUNT FOR AROUND 75 PERCENT SHARE OF THE DOMESTIC AVIATION MARKET

DISADVANTAGES A LOT OF AIRLINES ARE GOING BANKRUPT AT THE

MOMENT BECAUSE THEIR FUEL COSTS ARE GOING UP, AND THEY HAVE FEWER CUSTOMERS BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE LESS MONEY TO SPEND THESE DAYS.

THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN A FEW MERGERS RECENTLY.

THIS MEANS THAT THERE WILL BE LESS COMPETITION WHICH MEANS FLIGHT PRICES WILL GO UP. IT ALSO MEANS THAT THERE WON’T BE AS MANY FLIGHTS SO IT MIGHT BE MORE DIFFICULT TO GET TO YOUR DESTINATION AND THE EXITING FLIGHTS MIGHT BE REALLY BUSY.

First put into service by Air France in 1974, the widebody twin engine A300 was Airbus Industry's first aircraft. The updated A300-600, which is still in production today, first entered service in 1988 with Saudi Airlines. Together, with more than 730 orders, the A300, and its smaller descendant the A310, are the world's most popular wide body twin-engine transports. Due to its extensive airline service, the A310 was certified for extended-range twin-engine operations (up to 180 minutes with either engine), making the aircraft available for long-haul flights such as transatlantic routes. Major A300 operators include American Airlines, Air France, Korean Air, Lufthansa, and Thai Airways.

History of the Airbus A300:

• Airbus A300• The Airbus A300 is a short- to medium-

range wide body aircraft. Launched in 1972 as the world's first twin-engine wide body, it was the first product of the Airbus consortium of European aerospace companies, wholly owned today by EADS. The A300 ceased production in July 2007, along with the smaller A310.

• Airbus A380• The Airbus A310 is a medium to long-

range wide body airliner. Launched in 1978, it was the second aircraft created by the Airbus consortium of European aerospace companies, which is now fully owned by EADS. The A310 is a shortened derivative of the A300, the first twin-engine wide body airliner. The A310 (along with the A300) officially ceased production in July 2007 although the last delivery was in June 1998.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A-300 AND A-380

The A300 was designed as a twin engined short to medium range aircraft to compete with the DC-10 and L-1011 over 30 years ago, while the A380 is a new four engined aircraft designed to replace the 747 for high capacity, long range routes.The A380 is much larger than the A300

the Airbus A300 is an airplane that is considerably smaller than the A380, holds way less seats, has analogue displays and guages whereas the A380 has a fly by wire system, and all gauges and components of the aircraft are shown on computer like screens known as Multi-Function display screens or MFD's .

A380 is way too big than the Airbus 300! + A380 offers more cockpit features than other A3 series.

The A300 is a wide-body aircraft of medium size.  It has 2 engines mounted under the wings.  That is generally all that you can see if the aircraft is very high up.  The Boeing 757 and 767 are narrow bodies and so they appear longer with respect to their fuselage diameter. If you spot one on final approach or takeoff, then you may be able to see other details.  Landing Gear- If the landing gear is down, then there is some differences between it and a Boeing a/c.  Each main gear has a bogie beam with 4 tires.  The Nose gear has 2 tires and the steering mechanism has actuators that protrude to each side of the gear instead of towards the front as with most Boeing or Douglas).  The gear seems to be tilted back but that is only an illusion of how the gear doors are made.  The Boeing 757 seems to have tall skinny gears.

Winglets - The A300-600 is the last production run for the Airbus A300 and

they have winglets on their wingtips.  They are not big but you may see that so don't let that fool you into thinking the a/c is not

an A300. Cockpit windows - Another thing that I

use to compare is the cockpit window size and shape.  But this will take some study of other aircraft types to know the difference.  At my airport, I can expect to see a DC10

or an Airbus.  If I'm only seeing the nose of the a/c and there is a large square window just behind the pilot's window then I know

it is not the Airbus but the DC10/MD11.

CONCLUSION THIS WORK HELPED ME TO IDENTIFY THE PARTS

OF AN AIRCRAFT,COCKPIT,ROLES OF A CABIN CREW. THIS ALSO HELPED ME IN KNOWING MORE ABOUT AIRBUS A300. I GOT AN IDEA ABOUT THE EMERGENCIES THAT I WILL HAVE TO FACE. I CAME TO KNOW ABOUT THE SAFETY AND EMERGENCY EQUIPMENTS ALSO.
