Page 1: Construct an engaging initial post that ties one or a combination of the following weather features to aviation operations: wind, fog, a particular cloud type, a particular precipitation type, a warm front or cold front, or a thunderstorm. Your post should include the following: Outline a general definition and description of the weather feature(s), referencing this modules readings and mini-lectures, as appropriate. Summarize one or more impacts of the weather feature(s) to aviation operations. You have two options for this part of your discussion: Provide a real example, from an article or documented report (aircraft incidents or accidents, for example), of the aviation impact of this weather element. Give us your take on the relevance and importance of this topic from your own perspective, by providing personal points of view or related experiences. Embed at least one graphic or video that helps visualize some aspect of your initial post discussion. To embed a YouTube video, simply paste the video URL into your post. To embed images from the web directly into the discussion post, review the Canvas resource, How do I embed an image in a discussion reply as a student? (Canvas Community) (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.)If you have trouble embedding the image into your post, you can simply insert the image URL directly into your post. Reply Posts Respond to at least two posts of your instructor or peers. Each response should add thoughtfully and substantively to the discussion, by covering two or more of the following areas: Elaborate with additional factual details from the module content or external resources. Provide an alternate perspective. Share a related experience (personal or professional). Ask a related question.

Because of your science background, your boss has asked you to evaluate the proposal. Identify six key considerations that would inform your bosss decision to recommend or reject this opportunity. Narrowly focus on fuel chemistry, energy transfer, and physics of propulsion, using key vocabulary and concepts.

Page 3: Research an accident or incident involving a general aviation aircraft (Links to an external site.), where the cause was at least partly due to improper flight planning. Consider using keywords related to the steps involved in flight planning in conducting your search for accident summaries and reports. Construct an engaging 3-paragraph initial post that addresses the following points: Paragraph 1: Briefly summarize, in your own words, the aircraft accident based on your research. In your summary, highlight the causes of the accident based on the results of the accident investigation. Paragraph 2: Discuss one or more ways that the article is directly tied to the topics covered in this module regarding the science of flight planning. Paragraph 3: Give us your take on the relevance and importance of the summarized accident or incident, and the importance of flight planning in general, by providing personal points of view or related experiences.
