Aircraft Accidents

The student will write a final paper with a 3 to 5-page body on a topic that is related to aviation safety (either on the ground or in the air). This is not an aircraft accident analysis and/or review paper. However, the student may use aircraft accidents as supporting data, but not as main topics. Use caution if topics from material used in the Book Report Assignment are used (i.e. PAVE, IMSAFE, etc.), the final paper should not be a “larger” version of the book report, but rather a critical analysis of the topic chosen. The goal is to explore, research, critically think, and present a topic that the student found interesting in the course material. The paper must be written in Microsoft Word, adhere to current APA format with double spaced, 12-font, New Times Roman, include a title page, and a reference page. It must cite at least 3 academic resources (books, journals, articles, etc.), plus the Bible. It is highly encouraged to find additional resources/references outside what has been used in this class already. The student will be allowed flexibility if topics are changed from the outline due to professor input, new research conducted, and/or the student wants to include different information. Within the paper, the student will present a biblical verse/personal viewpoint to the reader. The student will not use the Colgan Air Flight 3407 and Alaska Airlines Flight 261 crashes as main topics or supporting topics (Week 5 PowerPoint Presentation assignment).
