Air Disasters in the Making?

Episode 124 John and Greg have get-real conversation about alarming trends in aviation safety. Accidents are increasing, even among experienced pilots. At the same time, the NTSB has scaled back on investigations and is issuing reports with superficial findings. Are more air disasters in the making? Pilot shortages are leading to a push for training volume over quality. The college requirement has been removed and there is a push to reduce the flight hours for qualification. “NTSB findings often talk about the importance of experience and pilot training but they have been silent now that there is a push to lessen the requirements,” Greg notes. Listen as the Flight Safety Detectives outline many indicators that aviation safety is in jeopardy. John and Greg will be at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.
