Management and Administration & Operational Aerospace Medicine Study Materials

Pdf Summary

The document outlines the objectives and key topics of a course on Management and Administration & Operational Aerospace Medicine. The main objectives include understanding the roles of key organizations like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in aviation safety, identifying aeromedical issues in civilian air travel, airport disaster management, aeromedical selection and certification, principles of injury causation and crash survivability, and the role of medical investigators at accident sites.<br /><br />Key objectives include:<br />1. Understanding the roles of national and international organizations in aviation and flight safety.<br />2. Comprehending FAA's role in aviation safety standards.<br />3. Outlining NTSB's responsibilities in aircraft accident investigation.<br />4. Identifying aeromedical issues in air travel and patient transport.<br />5. Describing airport disaster management requirements.<br />6. Learning principles of aeromedical selection and certification.<br />7. Explaining aircraft accident statistics and their relationship to flight safety.<br />8. Understanding medical investigators’ roles and their functions in mishap investigations.<br />9. Examining principles of injury causation and crash survivability concerning aircraft safety design.<br /><br />The document also includes multiple-choice questions on topics like International Health Regulations (with the correct answer being that compliance is optional but recommended for WHO Member States), FAA rules for patient transportation, altitude requirements for supplemental oxygen, airport disaster planning, predictive factors for air traffic control suitability, and the incidence and perception of fatalities in air accidents. It also covers the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) associated with air travel, emphasizing that low-molecular-weight heparin is suitable for passengers with risk factors, and that factors such as age, overall adjustment, and previous experience are predictive factors in air traffic control suitability.<br /><br />The recommended readings and reference list suggest 'Fundamentals of Aerospace Medicine, 4th Edition,' various chapters covering diverse aspects of aerospace medicine, and other relevant publications and resources. The comprehensive study guide aims to inform and prepare individuals dealing with aeromedical standards, safety regulations, and emergency procedures in the aviation sector.
