Learning Outcome 1: Pass

"AC 1.1 – Three Milestones in Aviation History
Grade: Pass
Feedback:
You identified the Wright Brothers’ flight, the Jet Age, and the Airline Deregulation Act as key milestones. These were relevant and well explained. However, clarity and sentence flow could be improved in some areas. For example, separating ideas into paragraphs and fixing run-on sentences would enhance readability.

AC 1.2 – Airline Deregulation Act and Jet Engine Impacts
Grade: Pass
Feedback:
The Deregulation Act was explained accurately with positive and negative effects addressed. The impact of jet engines was outlined with consideration of economic and operational outcomes. However, environmental and social aspects were underdeveloped and could benefit from deeper critical analysis and supporting data.

AC 1.3 – Stakeholders in Aviation
Grade: Pass
Feedback:
Roles of the FAA and IATA were explained, with appropriate examples of licensing, advocacy, and operational standards. You missed referencing ICAO or EASA, which are key international regulatory bodies. Future submissions should include multiple stakeholders for broader evaluation.

AC 1.4 – Aviation Disaster and Regulatory Change
Grade: Pass
Feedback:
You selected the Hindenburg disaster, which is a valid example. You demonstrated how it led to regulatory changes regarding hydrogen use and broader safety measures. A more contemporary example (e.g., Tenerife, or Air France 447) may have allowed for more aviation operations-related analysis.

AC 1.5 – Post-9/11 Aviation Security Changes
Grade: Pass
Feedback:
You accurately described operational changes such as cockpit reinforcement and liquid restrictions. The answer could be strengthened by discussing procedural updates, such as passenger screening technology and the role of TSA, to fully meet the criterion.


Grammar & Structure: Some awkward sentence construction and spelling errors ("phycological" instead of "psychological"), but meaning is clear.

Referencing: Minimal referencing noted. "Alluringworld.com" was the only reference listed. This is insufficient for Harvard-style referencing."

Learning Outcome 2: Pass

"AC 2.1. You effectively discussed the importance of terminal design for efficient processing and organization. Your reference to Atlanta’s parallel runways was especially valuable in showing real-world understanding. These examples show your ability to connect theoretical knowledge to actual airport infrastructure.

AC 2.2. You demonstrated a strong understanding of how regulatory bodies impact operations, and your discussion of staff training covered essential areas such as cultural sensitivity and crisis response. These are critical components of airport safety and service delivery.

AC 2.3. Your inclusion of the challenges older passengers face with self-service kiosks and the technology used at Shanghai Airport demonstrated critical thinking. You also acknowledged both the advantages and limitations of technology, which shows a balanced perspective.

AC 2.4. Your answers were well-structured and clearly written, with a strong focus on airport safety, quality assurance, and customer service. Your detailed response on staff training was a standout—comprehensive and aligned with industry best practices."

Learning Outcome 4: Pass

4.1."PASS |

You did a good job of designing and explaining your quality improvement plan for Spirit Airlines. You’ve correctly identified the issue of inconsistent in-flight customer service, which is a common challenge in many airlines. Your strategies are well thought out, particularly the introduction of duty sheets, standardized training programs, and a reward program. The integration of technology is also a strong addition. The action steps are generally clear, especially the weekly checking of duty sheets and the introduction of the reward program over time. Overall, your plan is heading in the right direction, and with more detail in the strategies and outcomes, it would be a very solid improvement plan. Well done!"

4.2. Individual Written Report (AC 4.2)
Grade: Pass
Feedback:
Your report builds logically on the group work with expanded strategies for training, accountability, and operational streamlining. You effectively restated the problem and integrated SMART goals with actionable timelines. Performance metrics are clearly defined and align with the improvement goals (e.g., 90% positive feedback, 50% reduction in complaints). The justification demonstrates your grasp of continuous improvement principles, and your reflection on how group discussions shaped your final plan was thoughtful.

Minor issues included:

Some grammatical errors and run-on sentences (e.g., “lock of inflight” should be “lack of in-flight”).

Harvard-style referencing should be formatted properly (e.g., author, year). The source list was present but needs proper citation formatting."
