It will be the responsibility of each group member to edit and format his objectives in accordance with the 6th edition of APA. The reference list will be developed collectively from the research obtained by each group member. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Through starting and establishing an airline, the group will research and apply all program outcomes. [M12] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Through industry research, analysis of current airlines, application of current regulation and legislation, and case studies, the group [M13] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> will create a functioning airline and develop an understanding for the workings and functionality of the airline industry. It will take the application of all program outcomes to fully develop the project into a functioning airline. [M14] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The group will utilize established industry operating norms to realize the place and role of the program outcomes within a real-world airline. The establishment of an airline will fully apply and develop the Aeronautical Science, Aviation Law and Legislation, Aviation Safety, and Aviation Management and Operations [M15] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">pursuant to such an operation. The group will compile research from various sources to include<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.6667px;"> [M16 ] cash flow analysis, charts, graphs, and spreadsheets needed to develop an airline. Through the use of current industry figures, available financial and operational statements, the group will compile all the necessary research<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.6667px;">[M17] needed in starting and establishing an airline. The project will display the use of quantitative reasoning by reflecting current legal and economic trends affecting the aviation industry. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">In this project we [M18] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> will employ the use of information literacy to explore and analyze everything needed to start and develop an airline from the ground up. After critical information is analyzed, it will be applied to the startup and development of an airline. This will include critical thinking, identification of informational sources, problem solving, evaluation skills, and the proper application of information for the project. [M19]

Software that will be used in creating our [M22] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> group project will be Microsoft Word and Microsoft Powerpoint. The group members will collaborate through weekly meeting, cell phone use and even Skype. The primary use of document editing will be through Google Documents. Google Documents will allow the group members to collectively edit and add to the project while communicating at the same time [M23] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The project will incorporate andutilize concepts and practices from previous courses and [M24] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">apply those concepts in an evidence-based conclusion. Decisions based on this evidence will come from data derived from present successful airlines. It will reflect and identify the processes required to start up a regional airline and certain issues associated with it. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The project will concentrate on the culture barrier associated with a startup airline by exploring the impact it has on philosophical concepts. It will study the fundamental problems associated with knowledge, values, reasoning, and logic on why human beings think the way they do. It will evaluate at how the mind rationalizes choices made in the decision making process from past historical events to correct issues that were overlooked from previous experiences.

While pursuing a Bachelor Degree in Science at Embry Riddle, group member working on this project have all acquired and developed the skills needed for a life full of growth and learning. Through this project, the group will master essential skills and knowledge needed to be successful in the future our professional and personal lives. [M26]

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The full development of an airline requires intimate knowledge of Aeronautical Science. A base understanding into the workings of the aircraft and roles of airmen, and how to efficiently manage them is prudent to an airline. Aeronautical science will be researched to develop a working knowledge into the operations of an airline. This will be accomplished through industry analysis, case study of working airlines, and other data available. Being able to keep an aircraft full of passengers and cargo is just one example of how Aeronautical Science is applied in the establishment of an airline. The group will use current Aeronautical Science [M27] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">information to develop an airline that is as efficient and effective as possible. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Strict laws and regulations that it has to adhere [M28] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">to at all times whether it is federal or state, encompass the creation and development of an airline. The project will thoroughly cover information about aviation law and legislation in which it applies to the overall topic. The project will review such things as federal laws and regulations that outline the quality of care when transferring large amounts of customers from one place to another. Other aspects of aviation law that will be expanded upon will be types of insurance that are needed toover the aircraft and company in the possibility of an aircraft incident or accident. The project will meticulously discuss the large group of federal regulations that keep the airline within the aspects of the law and in legal operation. [M29] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The project will provide instructions on implementing an aviation safety program for a start-up airline. It will clearly and concisely list procedures and protocol for setting up such requirements set forth by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. In dealing with a start-up airline a complete safety infrastructure has to be developed from the ground up. This project will provide an in-depth analysis of safety policies set forth by the airline. This would include management’s role for accountability of a safety program, provide and establish a means of managing flight-safety risks, and setting up an aviation safety reporting system. The system can identify risks and hazards associated with the aircraft flown by the start-up airline. The project will also look at the training aspect of an airline within an aviation safety program. This objective will efficiently streamline efficiency and enhance safety. Furthermore, it will capture procedures for conducting audits and investigating incidents to reduce cost for the airline and make it more profitable. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> This project will provide a solid understanding of the management principles required for the operations of a start-up airline. The airline must be both effective, efficient and must operate in a safe and secure manner that exemplifies the way business is done <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">. This project will demonstrate how the role of management creates a foundation to establish procedures to develop an airline from the ground up. It will follow guidelines set forth by the Federal Aviation Administration and follow models, and statistical data from previous successful airlines. The data collected from this project will be forward along with any recommendations of changes that it finds for future entrepreneurs.

[M1] You are not going to study this you are going to put together a business plan for starting and developing an airline! [M2] The project should be described completely [M3] delete [M4] be specific what is the project about, not Aero Science, Aviation Law, Aviation Safety and Aviation Management, these are just titles they do not tell anything?? These are general terms that cover a wide scope of information [M5] this is not a statement describing the project [M6] this is not a statement describing the project [M7] this needs to be rewritten per the guidance below [M8] Responsibilities must be divided by topics of the Project not by learning objectives because the L/Os have cross purposes and individuals cannot write on a particular L/O by themselves unless they are just going to write about the L/O. Your stated purpose is to write about “<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">How to Start and Establish an Airline at a Civil Airfield”. From your topical outline divide up the paper using these topics [M9] Same comments as below concerning these L/Os [M10] How can one individual along accomplish this objectives, this could apply to all group members inputs [M11] One individual cannot accomplish these objectives, these must be addressed by all group members [M12] Delete, this does not add anything [M13] “project” [M14] delete [M15] do not repeat these, tell how this L/O will be fulfilled in your paper [M16] delete ( I deleted the comma but left the M16) [M17] “information”????? [M18] Papers should be written in the third person, the use of the word “we” is not third person, change to “This project will employ….” [M19] How are these going to be covered in your project????? [M20] Is this a name?? How is communication going to be covered in the project? [M21] How are you going to “deliver” the project, in an envelope? In a box? [M22] Not third person [M23] This is not the intent of this learning outcome [M24] How is this paper going to do these things [M25] This should not be addressing the “group members”, this should be addressing the subject of your paper, how is your airline going to consider life long personal growth for their employees [M26] This is not the purpose of the L/O [M27] Be specific [M28] Who has to adhere to????? [M29] The paper should cover the federal regions required to establish an airline, this is the stated purpose of your project [M30] Should be written in the third person, the use of the word “we” is not third person. I changed it to read "business is done".
