Aviation 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.

Nobody thinks of reducing aviation to engineering and technique by considering it as consisting of the engine power and aerodynamic structures of aircraft. But in practice, these technical issues always come to the fore; the person running or using them stays in the background. Books dealing with aviation psychology and the human factor in accidents generally try to show where people stand in the system and how important they are in aviation. In this book, it has been tried to emphasize the "indispensable" role of man with his physiological system and psychological mechanisms.
In our age where unmanned aerial vehicles are becoming more and more widespread, it seems as if the human being is disabled, but it is necessary to see that behind all automation, computer and remote guidance systems, the human and his psychology occupy the most important position as a decision maker. One of the aims of this book, which is the first of its kind in Turkish, is to systematize scattered information about aviation psychology and make it a compact file, and another is to raise awareness of where human psychology can lead to flight, not only to flight doctors, flight psychologists and flight safety officers, but also to the aviators themselves. It also aims to provide an information infrastructure on its own subject and to shed some light on the unknowns of human beings.

Today, air transport is one of the most important sectors for world economies and is the main actor of the globalization process. The aviation industry continues to grow day by day in our country as well as in the world. With this growth trend, academic studies in the field of aviation have gained speed and importance in order to meet the increasing needs and produce solutions to problems. In the book Fundamentals of Air Transport Management, which was written in 23 chapters in order to meet the deficiency in the field of air transport management; aviation economy and sector analysis, civil aviation sector and global economic crises, airline management and strategies, air transportation marketing, air cargo transportation, airline fleet planning, revenue management in airline businesses, financial management in airline transportation, airport management, airport design and planning, airport ground services, airspace and air traffic management, human resources management in aviation, aviation safety, aviation safety, risk and crisis management in aviation, digital transformation in aviation industry, air traffic control technologies and future projection, aircraft production technologies and future projection, unmanned aerial vehicles, environmental effects in aviation, sustainability in aviation, aviation laws and regulations. In this context, it is aimed to provide readers, professionals and academia with new perspectives on the field of strategic air transport management and to increase their conceptual knowledge by examining these concepts in detail.
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.

In today's world, where globalization is experienced rapidly, the importance of the aviation industry is increasing both in our country and in the world. In terms of finance, the aviation sector is the economic, political, social, military, etc., which is experienced on a local and international scale, where large capital investments are made. It is a sector that is simultaneously affected by developments and includes some risks that need to be managed.
This book consists of six chapters covering financial risks in the aviation industry and related accounting practices. The authors of the departments are academicians who are competent in their fields and have evaluated their own subjects scientifically in the light of current developments.
Hoping that the book will be useful for scientific studies related to aviation and the personnel involved in the aviation sector...

The foundation of a good safety management system is only possible by establishing a good safety climate and a good safety culture in organisations. If the safety climate and safety culture are not well established or developed, whatever we do in safety system work will not make much sense. The work done remains only on paper, and incidents and accidents continue to occur without the system producing any added value. To summarize, Safety Culture and Climate is the most basic building block of the “Safety Management System”. For this reason, if we want to establish and operate a truly permanent and successful safety management system, we must first get to know the concepts of safety culture and safety climate, and understand the relationship between them. After these basic concepts are well understood, the issue we need to ask ourselves is “what level of safety climate and safety culture our organization has.” For this, we need to recognize the models developed in the literature, be aware of them, and then make measurements by predicting which method will give more accurate results for our own organization. At the end of all these, we have the opportunity to get to know ourselves better and become aware of our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in terms of safety climate and safety culture. This will provide the basis for the preparation and implementation of an appropriate "Cultural Development Program" for the establishment of a good safety management system.
All sector organizations that operate and/or have to operate the safety management system in the aviation sector or if the importance of safety culture and climate is explained in the safety management system courses taught in aviation-related universities and schools, if they better understand and transfer these concepts and their models, they can analyze their situation with the right measurement methods. and as a result, if they implement effective safety culture-climate development programs, more appropriate employees and students will emerge towards the desired attitude and behavior, and thus the desired goal in the establishment of this system will be achieved much faster and more accurately. “The purpose of the book in your hand is to help you to walk on this road by lining up the stones on the road so that you can walk on this road.

The subject of human factors in aviation is the basic denominator that all aviation workers and aviation students should know, understand and learn. The emergence of the need to deal with such an important issue in more detail and the lack of a Turkish resource in this field with a comprehensive content covering all areas of aviation operation in our country has been instrumental in the preparation of this work. It is thought that this work published on "Human Factors in Aviation", which should be the main course subject in all civil aviation colleges and faculties and should be given as basic education in all areas of the aviation sector, will serve an important gap both in the sectoral and academic fields.
The book has been prepared to include all aviation operational activities with case studies with the contributions of real experts from aviation operations, experts who provide professional services in this field, and academics from seven different universities related to civil aviation.

Throughout human history, people have always looked at flying birds with envy. Passion for flying pushed people to dream; humanity's belief and will ultimately enabled humans to fly by mechanical means. So, what are the theories behind the flight? Who are the pioneers of aviation? How many types of aircraft are there? What parts does an airplane consist of? What are the forces acting on the plane? What are the fields of study of aerodynamics? How are planes controlled? How do rotary-wing aircraft fly? What types of engines are used in airplanes? What are aircraft building materials? How does a sonic boom occur? In this book, the answers to these and similar questions are dealt with in a systematic and meticulous manner.
This book aims to fill the lack of qualified Turkish resources that aviation students, industry professionals, academics and aviation volunteers need under the headings of flight theory and basic aircraft knowledge. In the book, first the concept of flying, types of aircraft, basic concepts, atmospheric physics and forces acting on the aircraft are discussed, then the control and stability of the aircraft, flight performance, rotary wing aircraft, power systems, aircraft structure and systems, and high speed flight are discussed. useful information is provided.

The concept of transportation has gone through various processes from the time of human existence to the present. In addition to being a component that constitutes a significant part of the cost within the framework of logistics management, both in passenger and freight transportation, it has also been a variable that significantly affects the effectiveness and efficiency of logistics processes. From this point of view, the concept of transportation and transportation systems continue to be an interesting subject for both practitioners and academics. Considering the foreign and local publications, it is seen that the publications within the scope of logistics and supply chain management are quite numerous, but the publications in the field of transportation systems and transportation management are very limited in number and content. The main reason for this is that countries offer local publications to the relevant audience within the framework of their own practices. It is thought that this publication, named Transportation Systems, will fill an important need especially in the literature written in Turkish. Since transportation systems should be evaluated from a multi-disciplinary perspective, the following main components required in the field of transportation systems are included in the book and presented to the attention of students, researchers, sector representatives and administrative units:
• Basic concepts of transportation,
• History of transportation,
• Transportation geography,
• actors and parties in transport,
• Transportation activities and components,
• Types of transportation,
• Integration of transportation modes,
• Loads that require special handling in transportation,
• Transportation economy,
• Transport statistics in Turkey and in the world,
• Transportation costs,
• Financial decisions in transportation businesses,
• Legal arrangements in the field of transportation,
• Safety and security in transportation,
• Sustainability and environment in transportation,
• Numerical methods in transportation systems,
• Recent developments in transportation and Turkey's transportation policies.
