on pilot error

2025-03-03 20:30:49.255445+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Two from AVWeb this morning:

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy say pilots whose errors result in incidents should have their certificates pulled.

And a follow-up, in which Russ Niles talks about how we deal with language and Transportation Secretaries without aviation experience One Strike And You’re Out?

And once again, I'm gonna solidly recommend Sidney Dekker's The Field Guide to Understanding Human Error[Wiki], and point out that though we come from a culture that likes to view punishment as a mechanism for changing human behavior, that Flexjet Challenger 350 crew that did the runway incursion in front of the Southwest flight are probably now the least likely pilots to ever do that again...
