Air Monitoring Plan: Fill & Download for Free

Well, we use Tough-books with dispatch and mapping software to get us call information. The dispatch software gives us the address, cross streets, or complex, subdivision, business name. It will also include details from the caller.The map not only has street names, but it lists all hydrants, building outlines, as well as an aerial view. We also have any pre-fire plans for the given address on the network as well so we get details such as utility locations and special hazards.When fighting fires, we use thermal imaging cameras (TIC) to help spot heat, flames, or victims.Various types of gas monitors for low oxygen, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide.Our SCBAs have a HUD for air monitoring:That is just a brief touch of all our great tech we utilize.*All images from Google Images

For several reasons:Because the autopilot can assist with execution, but not the complete planning, of the transition from flight levels to ground level. Planning and pilot discretion remain important functions even when all of the automation is working.The automation doesn’t always work. Nothing like having your air data reference take a dump and your automation decide to do something obviously Really Bad with the aircraft.Automation is stupid; it can’t yet recognize when it’s time to go direct and how to convince ATC to let you do so; it doesn’t know when it’s time to ask to deviate five degrees to the right for weather; it doesn’t know what to do when number two decides to roll back because it’s having a bad day. It’s not even very good at passenger comfort; watching the autothrottles lose their mind in an A320 running in altitude hold mode while caught in a mountain wave east of the Sierras would have been amusing save for the screams from passengers in the cabin as the pressurization controllers tried to keep up with the engines throttling up and down several times per minute.In short, pilots are paid well for their ability to monitor, plan and execute; automation makes some of those processes easier and more reliable, but the human is still in the loop and is capable of safely concluding the flight even if the automation fails, the airframe is compromised or you’ve had a glider park itself in the cockpit: Mid-Air Collision of Glider and Jet near Reno: ASG-29 vs. Hawker XP800

Weather forecast is based on the data collected from various sources e.g.Ground observationsGround weather RadarSatellite informationRealized data (Temperature, rain fall) from collection centersAircraft reports - AIREPReports from shipsWeather BuoysAIREP is a report from an aircraft provided from certain altitude. In addition to position and operational/ navigational information, it consists of information about actual weather conditions encountered while in flight.It gives data about air temperature, wind(direction & Speed), pressure, humidity and (if applicable/ when occurs) turbulence, icing, volcanic activity etc., along with latitude/longitude and observation time. It thus contributes significantly to upper air monitoring of the atmosphere.The chief source of aircraft-based observations is from the Aircraft Meteorological DAta Relay (AMDAR) system.Accurate weather forecast is very useful for aviation sector also for flight-planning, fuel requirement calculation, reduced costs for fuel efficiency, passenger safety and delay reduction.
