The Malaysian Police Air Wing has a Search and Rescue Unit that actuates Search and Rescue using aircraft and aviation related equipment. The personnel involved are trained professionals with vast experiences. This paper investigated the factors that contributed to the success of Search and Rescue Missions in lieu with aircraft, equipment, experiences, and management. The results were mixed and several initiatives were proposed to mitigate existing predicaments.
As a student in Aviation, particularly in the field of Avionics, one has to actuate real life practical in real life aircraft. In the field of Avionics, the electrical and electronic racks are usually located in confined and constricted spaces in the cargo bay of the aircraft. To actuate works upon these spaces requires the student to crawl and be in physically stressful position for a predetermined period. If the student could not withstand these situations, then their practical workmanship would be poor. Thus, potential student in Avionics should be fit in order to perform well during these practical sessions. This paper collected the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) of high school students that aspire to be Avionics students after graduating from high school. The RPE showed whether these students could withstand or not the practical in Avionics and the results showed that high school students that are fit felt less exertion, thus more likely to perform well in their practical. The results also showed that high school students that are not fit felt more exertion thus more likely to perform poorly in their practical. This paper also laid out proposed physical exercises to decrease the strain or exertion felt.
Helicopters play important roles in transporting people and goods and were extensively used for observation and reconnaissance. The Helicopter Guimbal Cabri G2 is usually used for training and recreational purposes. In November 2020, there was an incident involving Cabri G2 in Malaysia. In fact there were several incidents around the world involving this type of helicopter and this paper delineated those incidents and analyses were performed to gain useful insights with regards to those incidents. This paper however did not cover 8 incidents (including the one in Malaysia) as they were still under investigation by respective authorities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
