Perhitungan weight and balance sebuah pesawat yang dilakukan secara akurat sesuai standar yang ditetapkan oleh IATA (International Air Transport Association) merupakan prioritas utama terhadap keamanan pesawat dan keselamatan penumpang serta pesawat itu sendiri selama melakukan penerbangan. Oleh karena itu seorang Flight Operation Officer (FOO) harus terlebih dahulu mengetahui dan menyiapkan kondisi pesawat tersebut, antara lain berat maximum yang mampu diangkat oleh pesawat dan keakuratanya terhadap Center Of Gravity (CG) pada pesawat tersebut. Pesawat dalam keadaan tidak seimbang sangat berbahaya, karena dapat menjadi tidak stabil dalam proses manuver lepas landas.. Kondisi ini benar-benar dialami oleh penerbangan teramat singkat maskapai Air Midwest nomor penerbangan 5481 penerbangan berjadwal dari Charllote Douglas International Airport, Charllote, North Carolina ke Greenville Spartanburg International Airport, Greer, South Carolina. Kejadian yang terjadi pada tanggal 8 Januari 2003 tersebut, di awali ketika pesawat ini baru saja lepas landas dan masih berada diketinggian yang sangat rendah, ketika pesawat melakukan pergerakan arah heading (hidung pesawat) yang terus mendongak ke atas tanpa dapat dikendalikan. Peringatan stall pesawat berbunyi terus tanpa dapat di atasi. Tindakan itu disebut sebagai Loss of Picth Control During Take-off. Terhitung, 35 detik setelah waktu lepas landas, tanpa dapat dikendalikan lagi, pesawat itu menukik dan jatuh di atas bangunan hanggar. Setelah badan penyelidik kecelakaan nasional Amerika (NTSB) bersama otoritas penerbangan federal (FAA), melakukan penyelidikan atas jatuhnya pesawat tersebut, ditemukanlah faktor utama penyebabnya, yaitu hilangnya kendali pitch pesawat saat lepas landas.

General Aviation is a separate segment of Civil Aviation, taking into account different type of aviation activities it includes recreational and sport aviation, business aviation, aerial work and flight training. Also it is often overlooked in the aviation statistics. This article concerns mainly the statistics of General Aviation in the airports of the South Poland. This research paper raises also the issue of the whole sector of General Aviation - its characteristics and features, which determine it as a separate branch of air transport. Therefore, the general statistics of the considered air transport segment are presented as the first step, and only then the results of air traffic analysis in the selected airports are described, namely International Airport Kraków–Balice, Wrocław–Copernicus Airport, Katowice International Airport and Rzeszów–Jasionka Airport. The evaluation of trends in General Aviation as well as the determination of opportunities to develop this sector of air transport were done.

Abstract The AMAGuides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides) is the most widely used basis for determining impairment and is used in state workers’ compensation systems, federal systems, automobile casualty, and personal injury, as well as by the majority of state workers’ compensation jurisdictions. Two tables summarize the edition of the AMA Guides used and provide information by state. The fifth edition (2000) is the most commonly used edition: California, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Vermont, and Washington. Eleven states use the sixth edition (2007): Alaska, Arizona, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Wyoming. Eight states still commonly make use of the fourth edition (1993): Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, South Dakota, Texas, and West Virginia. Two states use the Third Edition, Revised (1990): Colorado and Oregon. Connecticut does not stipulate which edition of the AMA Guides to use. Six states use their own state specific guidelines (Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, and Wisconsin), and six states do not specify a specific guideline (Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, South Carolina, and Virginia). Statutes may or may not specify which edition of the AMA Guides to use. Some states use their own guidelines for specific problems and use the Guides for other issues.
