Aircraft Technology - Flight Operations Management \ 1-1
The unprecedented expansion of civil aviation over the past three decades drives the demand for new employees (e.g., commanders, first officers, cabin crew, dispatchers, loadmasters, and technicians). The training of these employees plays a vital role regarding safety. Researchers have focused attention sharply on aviation safety and the resulting demand for qualified employees.
Learning from failures, accidents and incidents is the capability of an organization or individuals to obtain information and knowledge from past events and transfer these into measures and safety actions that will help avoid reoccurrences and improve safety in the related industry.
Aircraft Accident Investigation: Learning from Human and Organizational Factors provides a complete overview of the contributing factors to accidents and incidents in aviation and fundamentals of aircraft accident investigation. While the book in your hands may be used in the form of a reference source at universities in terms of its contents, it may also be used in the recurrent trainings of airlines as a supplementary source. It is also a source of reference that may be individually used by those who are interested in aviation for the purpose of learning about the investigation methods and causes of accidents that have been experienced.

Boron carbide, which is the hardest material known after diamond and cubic boron nitride, is an important material used in abrasive chemicals, defense industry, nuclear technology and aerospace industry applications, thanks to its many desirable properties such as low density, high chemical resistance, high hardness and melting point. is the main compound.
Today, approximately 95% of the products used in the world boron carbide market are produced by traditional carbothermic reduction methods. Considering the toxic gas, dusting and regulations that occur during production with these methods, it is seen that traditional production methods are not sustainable and therefore researches on sustainable boron carbide production methods are increasing.
“Low temperature boron carbide production with alternative carbon sources”, which is a strong option in terms of environmental responsibility and competitive production costs, has been researched with many different approaches, especially in recent years, and positive steps have been taken regarding its industrial applicability. Within the scope of this book, a general presentation of these studies, together with their technical infrastructure, has been shared with the researchers.

Book; it consists of nine sections under the titles of Control Circuits, Simatic S7-200 Control Unit, Basic Control Applications, Design and Implementation, Program Control Operations, Numerical Operations, Real Time Operations, Interrupted Operation and Questions. In the book, it is shown how the mathematical expressions obtained for the design of a control system are realized with the Simatic S7-200 family PLC using standard (IEC 61131) PLC languages (such as LAD, FBD). However, since the expression of the obtained logic functions in standard PLC languages is the same, it is also valid for PLC models of other companies that can be programmed with all standard PLC languages. Many examples in the book can be easily adapted and applied to other PLC models with simple editing.
The aviation industry in the world grows by about five percent every year. In direct proportion to the growth of the sector, the need for aviator personnel to be employed in the field of aviation is also increasing. In order to meet this need that will arise in the coming years, aviation departments continue to be opened within aviation high schools and universities in recent years.
Although important studies have emerged to be used in the courses to be given in the field of aviation, unfortunately, the desired proficiency has not been reached yet. For this reason, in the preparation stage of this book, the contents of the introductory aviation courses taught in universities providing aviation education in our country were examined and an effort was made to create an international content by scanning many foreign sources published abroad.
The main purpose of the Introduction to Aviation book is to contribute to the literature in the field of aviation, and to be the main reference source for those who are interested in this field and want to learn about basic aviation issues.

“As soon as you start talking about aviation, meteorology becomes one of the indispensable scientific disciplines. The intricate relationship of the two fields is an indispensable element for the flight or destiny of an aircraft in the sky. From this point of view, it would be one of the most accurate definitions to say that meteorology is one of the most important branches of science for the development of aviation.
Our National SİHAs, which have become one of the most important breakthroughs of the National Technology Move, have become used in many areas from military areas to disasters, from forest fires to monitoring irregular migration movements. As with all aircraft, air movements have a decisive role in the flight of UAVs. UAVs fly by making use of airflow and aerodynamic forces, and therefore meteorological events have a great impact. The dynamic processes of a remotely managed flight with a fully autonomous system also depend on the current state of the atmosphere. For this reason, severe weather events such as turbulence, storm and icing in the atmosphere are decisive for the performance and safe flight of UAVs.

Weather is an important factor affecting aircraft performance and flight safety. It is the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place according to variables such as temperature (hot or cold), humidity (wet or dry), wind speed (calm or stormy), visibility (clear or cloudy), and barometric pressure (high or low). The term weather also applies to adverse or destructive atmospheric conditions such as high winds.
In fact, weather conditions are never neutral. In war and peace it is always against us or with us. The rule of thumb is: “Air is our ally if we understand and use it to our advantage; If we don't use it, we become our enemies." As a result, when we do not pay attention to the weather conditions throughout our war and aviation history, the weather is our enemy; We have repeatedly experienced that when we pay attention, it is our ally.
For these reasons, this book is aimed at providing a solid understanding, comprehension, analytical thinking and decision-making of meteorological phenomena related to weather conditions of all aviation community flying or serving for civil, military or sportive purposes in war and peace. Prepared to improve their skills.
