The things that airlines, aircraft manufacturers, and the FAA are

not sharing with the public. This book is the result of the author's

doctoral research--Safety Culture, Training, Understanding, Aviation

Passion: The Impact on Manual Flight and Operational Performance.

While the intent of the research was to learn what predicted manual

flight, what was learned may have predicted and, if heeded, prevented

the Lion Air Flight 602, 2018 crash, Ethiopian Flight 302, 2019

crash, and Atlas Air Flight 3591, 2019 crash. What was learned

could also have prevented the Air France Flight 447 crash. We now

have the data that proves we can't simply blame the pilot.

There is never one reason an accident occurs, but a chain

of events. If you travel, fly, or touch aviation in any aspect, you

have every reason to read this book. If you wish to read the actual

dissertation, it may be found at https: //petittaviationresearch.com.

Industry Reviews

"If the problem can be judged to lie exclusively in the head and heart of an
unworthy flight crew, then no one in the system needs to be responsible for
changes and improvements. False comfort is gained when the irresponsible pilot
is the only threat" Robert Besco PhD Captain Ret

"Automation can be an improvement to safety. But at the end of the day, we still need
pilots with a high level of flying skills and the ability to recognize when automation is
being helpful, and when it becomes a distraction and a threat. Unfortunately, today's
training environment is too centered (in my opinion) on automation and discourages
us from thinking like aviators." (Anonymous Pilot)

"Sadly most pilots don't know how to fly anymore... People aren't comfortable. Is it
because the Airbus doesn't feel right? Because the training we received, or the
company policy, maybe a bit of all. One thing for sure, we got our wings clipped from
the industry long time back and only those that do the extra mile to keep their skills
risk sometime to be called in the office..." (Anonymous Pilot)
