What does Ethics Mean to me?








According to Websters Dictionary ethics is a "set of moral principles: a theory or system of moral values". Values are things that we hold deeply as a set standard, something love and hope not to change or break. it therefore means that values are standards that we hope to live by in aeronautics. Eg. we know in order to become a professional in a aeronautics career we must complete a qualification course and we must develop certain knowledge  and skills. We therefore respect and value the requirements, which later ensure we abide by the code and do what needs to be done. According to Stevens (2008) in her article, like any other business institution aviation operates under code of ethics, a major one being honesty. Each individual should be honest in their doings; honest about their qualification, their ability to do the job and honest enough to bare the consequence of dishonesty. These behaviours are totally dependent on the individual and they should be held accountable, as in aviation people are trusting workers with their lives. Unfortunately one mistake and it could mean the end of somebody's life, which shows the importance of ethics. This could also be linked to Beneficence and non maleficence, doing only good and no harm to the persons around them, respecting each and everyone they come in contact with.  I therefore believe that code of ethics should be promoted within the aviation industry.

Electrical System Failure Lost an alternator or generator was viewed as an irregularity in a customarily prepared airplane; be that as it may, a disappointment of this size is viewed as a crisis, in fact, propelled airship.  One sign of an alternator failure would be a release sign on an ammeter. Ammeters ought to demonstrate a zero charge in ordinary activities.  A releasing condition, demonstrated by a short sign on these measures, implies that the battery is running down. Why? The alternator is not charging it, and the battery's capacity is being ransacked by the electrical framework's parts. The load meters decreasing or zero sign is possibly another indication of alternator failure (PHAK, 2016). In some cases, a pointer light is likewise introduced in the plane to alarm the pilot to an alternator failure. On some airplanes, for example, the Cessna 172, the light is situated on the lower left side making it hard to see its brightening if graphs...
