Sample Problem: You advise Pat Williams, the president of DynaTech, a company that makes precision electronic instruments and navigational equipment. Sally Evans, a member of DynaTech's sales force, recommended that DynaTech buy a small private plane (a SwiftAir 235) that she and other members of the sales force could use to visit customers. Pat was about to approve the purchase when there was an accident involving a SwiftAir 235. Your document library contains the following materials: 1 . Newspaper article about the accident 2. Federal Accident Report on in-flight breakups in single-engine planes 3. Internal Correspondence (Pat's e-mail to you & Sally's e-mail to Pat) 4. Charts relating to SwiftAir's performance characteristics 5. Excerpt from magazine article comparing SwiftAir 235 to similar planes 6. Pictures and descriptions of SwiftAir Models 180 and 235 Sample Questions: Do the available data tend to support or refute the claim that the type of wing on the SwiftAir 235 leads to more in-flight breakups? What is the basis for your conclusion? What other factors might have contributed to the accident and should be taken into account? What is your preliminary recommendation about whether or not DynaTech should buy the plane and what is the basis for this recommendation?
