What does ethics in aviation means to you?

Hello everyone,

To me, ethics in aviation means discipline. As a pilot or even an aviation enthusiast, one can see how the aviation industry evolves daily. Like many other professionals in the field, I must keep my knowledge up to date with all current information throughout its development, regardless of the information that I should be aware of that is not new. Positioning me in the pilot seat means the airline put their trust in me with the lives of my passengers and the airline equipment. In my view, as a professional, I am being expected to constantly push myself to the limit in keeping my knowledge fresh and current. That expectation, translated to discipline, is what aviation ethics means to me.

The consequences of increasing civilian air traffic, military aerial activity, and the lack of cooperation between those two strained the government's capacity to regulate air travel safety. (Harris, 2004).  Air traffic control agencies began to expand due to the increasing traffic   On June 30 th , 1956, two airline jets (United and TWA) were cruising on a collision course in uncontrolled airspace and crashed over the Grand Canyon, killing 128 people on board. At that time, this crash was the most extensive loss of life in an aviation accident and raised public concern regarding the significance of aviation safety standards. Due to the significant crash, Congress passed the Airways Modernization Act to estab

  Airplanes are noisy. Either on idle power or during a takeoff run, or even with the engines off, and only the Auxilary Power Unit (APU) is running, airplanes still make much noise.   Over the last decades, with the drastic growth in population and the increasing demand for air traffic services, residential areas nowadays are closer to airports and significantly affected by noise pollution, created by various types of airplanes, either small GA planes, medium or heavy jets.   A340 On Final Over Hong Kong Academic studies have shown that continuous exposure to noise pollution may cause significant health issues such as hearing problems, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and gastrointestinal problems. In addition, noise may cause interference with communication, sleep deprivation, poor performance at work and in school due to lack of concentration, and general annoyance. It is estimated that more than ten million Americans have noise-induced hearing loss, and twenty million ar
