Ian explains the hush-hush training deficiency that most aviators complain about after they enter the industry, and offers some possible solutions. The information you learn from this episode will change the way you perceive your training experience – maybe, just maybe – if the new entrants to the industry demand a higher standard of training providers, aviation will be a more safe and prosperous career choice for all! 


There's a unique clarity that comes from operating at 30,000 feet, where decisions carry immense weight and every detail matters. Aviation Intelligence, hosted by Avic Air, explores how that high-stakes mindset can be brought down to earth. This isn't just a podcast about flying; it's about applying the rigorous principles of aviation to the complexities of our daily routines and interactions. Each episode unpacks a specific tactic from the cockpit-whether it's managing extreme stress, maintaining focus amidst distraction, or navigating critical communication-and translates it into practical tools for your career, relationships, and personal growth. You'll hear discussions on overcoming inherent psychological limits, mastering negotiation by understanding different perspectives, and turning routine conversations into meaningful connections. The aim is to streamline your approach to challenges, much like a pilot's checklist ensures a safe and efficient flight. Tune in for thoughtful conversations that borrow from philosophy, psychology, and, of course, aviation culture, all designed to help you navigate your own path with greater precision and confidence.
