I am one step closer to finally being able to start at ACSS! I have completed drug and background checks that are required for employment. I should be able to start next week. In the mean time my father has been running me through testing procedures which I may need to use to preform software tests at ACSS's engineering lab.

Week 2 Update (Week of 2/13)
(Unfortunately, due to personal and internship restrictions, there have been a delay in posts to Blogger.)
The boredom continues. Since my internship has still not started, my days drag on. I am still attempting to learn about topics pertaining to TAWS but I doubt the work I do at home is as useful as the work I will be able to do once my internship starts. This week I studied the NTSB report for the CFIT incident of UPS Airlines Flight 1354. This report is significant because it is recent (the incident occurred in 2013) and is a perfect example of pilots ignoring TAWS warnings which results in the destruction of their aircraft.

Week 1 Update (Week of 2/6)

This has been a pretty slow week! Since ACSS is part of the much larger L3 Technologies, I have had to jump through a wide variety of hoops to secure my internship. I can only imagine how much more difficult this would be if my father was not an employee! To not fall too far behind however, I have begun to do background research on the systems that support TAWS. These systems range from widely known GPS, to much less known radio altimeters.
