Flight 60 - Flight Deck Distractions

Flight 60 - Flight Deck Distractions

Author: Av8rTony October 27, 2020 Duration: 2:05:06

Recorded on the 26th of October, 2020

On todays show, I am so very fortunate to be joined by my magnificent Squawk Ident flight crew members, Rob D and Captain Roger. The three of us have been texting back and forth over the last few days because of a few aircraft accidents that have headlined aviation news. We aviators usually pay close attention when we hear of an aircraft issue. Not because we like to chase fire trucks, but more so because any incident that occurs on the flight line is an opportunity to improve upon our understanding and knowledge on the best way to tackle an inflight situation. We will also discuss what we have learned from these incidents and how Flight Deck Distractions can lead to some disastrous results. Plus, through some feedback from a loyal listener we will explore some aviation films to hit the silver screen.
