Measuring Fiber End Face Inspection Microscope Reproducibility using Chrome on Glass Artifacts

December 20, 2017

Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (LM-RMS) sources MT cable assemblies from Cinch Connectivity Solutions. Due to the critical nature of these assemblies in the final application, it was vital to ensure reproducible results between outgoing and incoming inspections. Since the FastMT-400 microscope was used in both locations, FiberQA was asked to participate in a reproducibility study to validate consistency within the supply chain.

Enhancing Pilots’ Occupational Safety and Health Protections

whitePaper | August 28, 2022

The airline flight deck is one of the most coveted workplaces, as can be attested to by the more than 100,000 pilots in the United States and Canada who work hard and sacrifice to earn a seat at the controls of a transport category airline aircraft. However, despite the attractiveness of an airline pilot career, the flight deck environment is very industrial in nature and can be the source of serious injuries and longterm health issues. As such, it needs protections for pilots that are commonly found in other industries. This white paper explores the various types of health and safety risks found on the flight deck and in the aircraft cabin and provides recommendations on ways to address identified inadequacies across a wide range of topics and health threats. These inadequacies need to be addressed by federal agencies charged with establishment and enforcement of rules and policies designed to protect airline pilots while carrying out their duties at work.
