Today’s podcast I want to talk about air data failures. Consider the ramifications of an air data failure. There could be many alerts and distractions as a result of the failure or there could be very few. Does your aircraft have an air data mis-compare annunciation or a failure checklist such as ‘altimeter disagree’?
Welcome, aviation enthusiasts, to another exciting episode of our podcast, where we explore the cutting-edge developments shaping the business aviation industry. Today, we embark on a fascinating journey into the realm of artificial intelligence and its transformative potential in this dynamic field. Strap in, as we delve into how AI is set to revolutionize business aviation, leaving an indelible mark on safety, efficiency, and innovation.
Pilots who fly IFR most of the time spend most of their day managing the autopilot or programming the flight management computer. On the ground we are completing checklists, communicating with ATC and taxing. Managing distractions are crucial in all phases of your trip. The news has been full of close calls, and I was cut off by an airliner while taxiing not long ago. If anyone has gone into Lake Havasu in the summer will understand managing VFR traffic and terrain simultaneously.
New fatigue rules are here, and it can be a complex issue. How do you know if you are fatigued? How do you know if a crewmember is fatigued? How do you ask someone if they are fatigued? Some airlines have had robust fatigue rules for a while so much of the data available comes from airlines. Airline pilots might fly more hours and perhaps more days but, in my experience, fatigue can happen to you on your first day of work. Do a self-check and keep doing them.
Do you duck under the slope? I sure have. Have you intentionally landed long? Sure have. I landed very long at ATC’s request in Moses Lake to get out of the way of a 747 doing touch-and-goes for Japan Airlines. I’m not saying it’s wrong, but there is a level of risk involved. If your procedures say you should land in the touchdown zone, then that’s where you should land.
How much cosmic radiation is too much? Cosmic radiation has been a known risk to aviation personnel for years but how much is too much radiation? How can you control your exposure? What should operators do to protect their employees?
