 3.2 Blog Discussion: Career Attributes  I am preparing myself to be a commercial pilot upon my graduation. As an aspiring pilot, I feel that communication in the cockpit and accountability are extremely important as flying will require a high level of communication between the cockpit and the air traffic controller to prevent any catastrophe in the sky. Therefore, the changes in air traffic surveillance technology are extremely crucial to facilitate safer and smoother flight operations.  Transitioning of radar surveillance to ADS-B What is Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B): ADS-B is designed to revolutionize air traffic control by allowing for more precise and dependable tracking of aircraft in flight and on the ground. Air traffic service providers and regulators throughout the world are shifting their focus to airspace and flight operations in order to increase traffic flow, capacity, efficiency, and safety while also allowing for greater flexibility and adaptation.

The mid-Air Crash Between TWA Flight 2 and United Airlines Flight 718 Flying on a commercial airliner is extremely safe today. However, air travel only became so reliable as a result of past incidents, which resulted in significant safety improvements. These catastrophes inspired huge technological breakthroughs in in-flight safety that maintain air travel regularly today, from mid-air crashes to onboard fires to a tired fuselage that turned a plane into a high-altitude convertible. In the case of the TWA Flight 2 mid-air crash with United Airlines Flight 718, this has contributed to the establishment of the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) which is to provide for the safe and efficient use of national airspace (McCartney, 2006). The high-profile mid-air accident has led to many believing that the systems used to control the national airspace are flawed and inadequate. The collision between the two aircraft was also due to the fact that both aircraft's pilots are trying to avoid a
