Virtual Crash Lab Accident Site Reconstruction Paper

 

In this activity, you will begin to reconstruct your first-at-scene data collection matrix. Enter Crash Lab and work on your assignment. Start by applying a logical grid system, measurement devices, and photography.

This lab activity should provide you with a means to manipulate many aircraft components; inside and outside the fuselage. The Virtual Crash Lab provides the capability to denote and measure various elements such as runway, ground, and tree scarring, etc., as well as positions of emergency vehicles during the response. To effectively complete the discussion assignment, attempt to incorporate photographs, create diagrams, etc., to corroborate your observations where applicable. It is suggested you retain all data in a Word file as a resource in the final Virtual Crash Lab discussion in Module 8.

Whenever possible, use cause and effect relationship to consider the following when going through the crash site:

  1. Provide a brief introduction to your work. Explain your general plan or approach as you entered the crash site.
  2. Was the accident site consolidated into a localized area; were all the parts of the plane there, as best as you can tell?
  3. If possible, include a diagram image to the discussion post.
  4. So far, what have you learned regarding potential accident factors other than just noting the location of airfield structures, lighting, land features, the debris field, and key aircraft components?

Your response to the question(s) should be precise, clear, relevant, and succinct. You should reply to 2 classmates by adding substance to others’ posts, be diplomatic, and polite. Look for any additional questions or comments your instructor may reply to you on before the last day of the module week.
