Learning from past incidents can become repetitive. The author of this training module wanted to break away from the industrial theme and utilize interesting case studies from other engineering-related fields. Since the first flight of the Wright brothers in 1903, aviation as an engineering accomplishment has captured many imaginations.
The development of aviation over the last 120 years has gone from flying a few feet off the ground to space travel and space stations. Along with this desire to soar with the songbirds came reasonably acceptable and good engineering design and maintenance practices. Additionally, regulations and training evolved. Even with all the attention and control, accidents and incidents resulting in injury and fatalities still occur.
This course will walk you through three separate aviation accidents that killed John Denver, Glenn Miller and Ricky Nelson. When engineering design, poor maintenance, or unsafe acts occur, it does not matter what industry they happen in, there is a learning value. For the Professional Engineer considering this course, the course also includes a brief review of H.W. Heinrich’s behavior-based domino theory, application of a data trending deep dive in musician aviation incidents, regulatory bodies and regulations, and how Professional Engineers can learn from these events.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the causes of notable aviation crashes involving famous musicians.
- Describe contributing factors associated with those crashes.
- Apply lessons from aviation incidents to engineering planning, design, and maintenance practices.
- Summarize the history of aviation regulatory governance and applicable regulatory laws.
- Apply a deep-dive data-trending methodology to aviation incidents.
- Explain important aviation terms and their relevance to professional engineers.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 15 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
