The aim is to remove the myth of flying and arm you with the knowledge to make you into a Fearless Flyer. We then run a mini-series S2, the first episode is "Going on a Flight," explaining the preparation you should c...

S3 E18 Situational Awareness on an island Part 4
Send us a text
Hello Fearless Flyers, we continue our discussion with Adrian about the disastrous effects of when flight crew lose their situational awareness, this time the aircraft had GPWS installed but it was still using the basic GPWS, new technology that was available had not yet been mandated into the industry to save this particular flight.
