Prayers to family

A great mentor to many. Met him at the Red Bird migration and he was a wealth of knowledge and experience. I’m thankful that I was able to speak with him and I know the community mourns the loss of a legendary aviator.

May his memory be eternal. Deepest condolences to his family.

Unreal… what a day.

Head shake

I feel sick. Totally numb

Very good presentation of how to avoid establishing a bias towards knowledge discovery.

Fasten your seatbelts (tightly) "student pilot type landing" on a calm day in United Airlines Boeing 767-300ER. bit.ly/SAFE-HardLnd Hopefully, this is not a result of recent "fast track pilot training?!" Hold on... #flySAFE #CFIpro #MasterCFI #FAA #SAFEpilots ... See MoreSee Less

🤣That has been happening on the 767 fleet long before any "fast track pilot training" was even thought of!

I’m expecting to see more of these types of incidents in the future.

This is a huge issue. It has happened inside the US as well, with several incidents under investigation. Most operators don’t have procedures yet, since it’s such a new threat, but expect to see some guidance coming out next year once some folks in the know have a chance to review options.

What is the rush? Crazy WWII 10 hour standard? (we are not at war🤣) A solo learner needs mastery of almost all maneuvers (and especially go-around) before solo! Create a competent PIC before solo; proficient and confident🙏

Take-off is the most fatal phase of flight🤮 High nose/high power open leads to uncoordination and loss of control. Chandelles are great tool to build skill and get familiar with “cross-coordination.” Read <SAFEblog.org>

The reason pilots cannot successfully fly chandelles is the same reason for the high fatality rate in "high power/high nose" flight attitudes (take off): lack of coordination!

Echo/ Gulf airspace confuses a lot of pilots (and ruins a lot of FAA flight tests)! Airspace is the #1 pilot violation too😳. Golf is surface just about everywhere unless otherwise specified (1 sm/CC). Echo is 1200’ AGL just about everywhere with few exceptions (zipper tracks). Echo “protects” IFR traffic with greater visibility and cloud clearance requirements. Echo descends to the airport, 2200-700’ in magenta transition and surface inside dashed magenta.

Remarkably, many pilots fly totally ignorant of the forces they harness to maneuver in flight. http://bit.LY/SAFE-LtT This works until they are upset or in a tricky situation. "Loss of Control-inflight" is #1 pilot killer; get this FREE course! #flySAFE #CFIpro #MasterCFI #SAFEpilots
