NASA Connect Segment that explores the safety of airports. The video explains the Federal Aviation Administration's primarily responsibility is maintaining the safety of public aviation.
For today's show, Jennifer and I are flying to California
00:00:00
to learn how the people who get airplanes in and out of airports,
00:00:03
pilots, and NASA are putting safety first.
00:00:06
That's right, and you know, almost 2 million people like us
00:00:08
travel by airplane every day.
00:00:11
Air travel links us to the rest of the world,
00:00:13
and usually we don't pay much attention to how it works,
00:00:15
or who makes it work.
00:00:19
But with millions of people flying,
00:00:20
airplanes, pilots, and airports have to be safe.
00:00:22
Just who regulates the safety of airplanes, pilots, and airports?
00:00:25
The FAA, or Federal Aviation Administration.
00:00:30
Their primary responsibility is maintaining the safety of public aviation.
00:00:33
The FAA develops air traffic rules,
00:00:37
operates airport towers and air traffic control centers,
00:00:39
and encourages new aviation technology,
00:00:42
some of which is being developed by NASA.
00:00:44
We'll see some of those technologies later.
00:00:46
...San Francisco is now boarding.
00:00:49
Dan, that's our flight. Come on.
00:00:52
You know, right now, as we board,
00:00:59
the airport's control tower has received our pilot's flight plan,
00:01:00
and will soon be directing our airplane as it taxis to the runway.
00:01:03
Hey, there's the control tower.
00:01:08
Right now, in that tower, people are observing us and other airplanes
00:01:10
to make sure everything runs safely on the ground.
00:01:13
Meanwhile, inside the plane, we have our seatbelts fastened.
00:01:15
Shh. Sorry.
00:01:19
While the flight attendant gives us safety procedures.
00:01:21
Just like pilots and the people in airport towers have safety rules,
00:01:24
passengers, like us, can make sure we are as safe as possible on the airplane.
00:01:27
For example...
00:01:32
Excuse me, sir. You're going to have to turn off that cell phone and computer.
00:01:34
They can interfere with the airplane's communication systems.
00:01:39
Well, now that we're airborne, we're being tracked on radar.
00:01:46
Soon, our airport tower hands us off to an air traffic control center.
00:01:50
There are 21 of these centers in the United States,
00:01:53
and each center controls a specific area of airspace.
00:01:56
What is airspace?
00:01:59
The space where aircraft fly.
00:02:01
These control centers communicate with pilots
00:02:03
and safely direct all airplanes that enter their airspace.
00:02:05
When you consider all the airplanes that fly every day, that's a huge job.
00:02:09
During our flight, we'll pass through about six different airspaces,
00:02:13
and as we pass through each one, we're monitored by an air traffic control center.
00:02:17
Each center gives our pilot information about weather, air traffic around us,
00:02:22
and it helps us navigate the best route.
00:02:26
You know, I hope our pilot takes us over Colorado.
00:02:29
I would love to see it from here.
00:02:32
Hey, maybe next time NASA Connect will give us our own private jet.
00:02:35
And then we could...
00:02:39
Right, Dan. Until then, fly and coach, buddy.
