There are two final notes I must add to the conclusion. In a way, you might call them disclaimers. One is about the South West Airlines 'ordeal'. I don't I made a post in itself about it, but I'm still not sure if they actually got fined. It didn't state it clearly on the internet through various articles, but my aviation safety teacher said they did. I would like to think that they did get fined and it wasn't for show, but, I'm not sure. Either way it wasn't a good thing and hopefully these inspection problems won't happen again any time soon. Second note is I may find the need to edit a thing or two later on, but I don't think I'll need to.
While human factors is a broad category, it presents just as much risk if not more than the others do. All we have to do to reduce accident, incursion and incident rates is raise the safety standards and improve technology as soon as practicable. It may take a long time to completely revamp an aircraft, but all improvements made go a long way, no matter how costly. In aviation there are still many things to be improved navigation and safety wise, even for air traffic controllers. The bottom line is, we have to continue to be vigilant, cautious and safe when dealing with aircraft and all things related to flight, no matter how safe any aircraft and place may be.
As for a final note to anyone who may read this end of my little project, my updates won't stop here! Anything I find interesting in my course of learning anything under the sun related to aviation will be put here, mainly for memory purposes, keeping track of what I've learned, how I feel about the things I learn, and/or perhaps just because I can! Oh, also because I love helicopters and aviation is awesome.
