 You have been hired to design a database to be used by the maintenance unit of an airport. The
database stores required information for all airplanes stationed and maintained at the airport.
The relevant information is as follows:
 Every airplane has a registration number, and each airplane is of a specific model. The
airport accommodates a number of airplane models, and each model is identified by a
model number (e.g., DC-10) and has a capacity and a weight.
 A number of technicians work at the airport. You need to store the name, the staff
identification number, address, phone number, and salary of each technician.
 Each technician is an expert on one or more plane model(s), and his or her expertise
may overlap with that of other technicians. This information about technicians must also
be recorded.
 Technicians periodically perform tests to ensure that airplanes are still airworthy. Each
test has a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) test number, a name, and a
maximum possible score.
 The FAA requires the airport to keep track of each time a given airplane is tested by a
given technician using a given test. For each testing event, the information needed is
the date, the number of hours the technician spent doing the test, and the score the
airplane received on the test.

i. Identify all of entities and attributes involved. Write the answer in the format
