In today’s episode I’ll be having a powerful conversation with Oxygen Advantage Advanced Instructor and Pilot, Andy from Resilient Aviator. Andy is a Training Captain on the Airbus A330, and after discovering the benefits of functional breathing for himself, he is now championing the use of breathwork for pilots to improve performance and reduce stress and fatigue for success and longevity in this demanding career.
Pilots enjoy a lot of responsibility, but typically work unsociable hours with fatiguing schedules and are constantly assessed, often encountering complex problems. These factors are also experienced by many others in society so the concepts are widely applicable. In over twenty years of flying, Andy has experienced many developments in safety, training methods and aviation human factors - the interface between pilots and how they operate an aircraft under different pressures and demands.
Using his many years of experience, Andy is on a mission to provide tangible techniques and training to develop pilots using real awareness of their physiology, empowering them to take control of their autonomic nervous system with the breath. Andy is sharing the wide-ranging benefits of breathwork to perfectly complement more ‘traditional’ pilot training- supporting quality of life and enabling calm, confident, resilient and balanced decision-makers in the cockpit.
