The Month In Business Aviation: April 2021

It Was Supposed To Extend

Credit: NTSB

When a design is supposed to be bulletproof and a procedure is supposed to work every time, and it doesn’t, you start off thinking the crew didn’t execute the emergency procedure properly. However, first impressions are not always right. Good investigators proceed carefully, step by step, to get to the truth. A regional airline gear-up landing I helped to investigate in 2013 is an example.

When Should I Flare?

Credit: James Albright

I’ve heard this off and on over the years: “Hold your aimpoint steady in the windshield and once you lose sight of it, flare.” Of course, that makes no sense. If you hold the aimpoint stationary you will not lose sight of it until the wheels touch well short of it. So, how do you know when to flare?

Opinion: Can Bombardier Go It Alone In Business Aviation?

Credit: Bombardier

Twenty years ago, Bombardier was on top of the world. It was the leading producer of regional jets—the fastest-selling category of jetliners. The rest of its portfolio of turboprops, business jets and trains was also strong. It was a Canadian business icon.

Do Multi-Function Displays Disengage Pilot Brains?

While we are focusing on the problem of not disengaging automatic systems and flying the airplane, we may be failing to ask a more significant question. That is: Why aren’t we disengaging those systems completely, or, why have we still lost situational awareness when those systems have been disengaged and we think we’re flying manually?

Choosing To Take A Risk

Credit: NTSB

It’s hard to understand why a pilot chooses to take a risk he has been warned against taking. It’s even harder to understand when that pilot is a chief pilot, charged with training and checking other pilots and with supporting the safety practices of a company safety management program.
