Learning from other pilots' mistakes, with JJ Madison
from Pilot's Discretion from Sporty's · host Sporty's Pilot Shop
Plenty of pilots read accident reports, but airline pilot and author JJ Madison says NASA reports are even better—because you’re hearing directly from the pilot. He shares common themes and memorable stories from these reports, and reminds pilots how to submit one. JJ also talks about his career as an airline pilot, including the appeal of regional airlines and the importance of scheduling. In the Ready to Copy segment, JJ talks about flying turboprops, why staying in shape is critical for pilots, and how to be a Hollywood writer.SHOW LINKS:* JJ’s book Yikes!: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYZ1R9BS* Victor Kilo Fund: https://www.victorkilofund.org/* NASA reports database: https://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/* Pilot’s Tip of the Week: https://pilotworkshop.com/tip
