***New instruction From Professor: The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (100 points). With this assignment, I recommend a Back to the Future mentality. Assume it is two weeks since the Grand Canyon mid-air collision and the Federal Aviation Act has not yet been enacted. Your job is to identify the problem and make a recommendation that fixes it. This is a one to two-page paper (450 to 900 words or less).
The general purpose of a case analysis is to:
→ describe an individual situation (case) in detail;
→ identify the key issues of the case;
→ analyze the case;
→ recommend a course of action for that particular case.
