This week Matt & Andy talk to Richard De Crespigny, the captain of Qantas flight QF32 in which his A380 suffered multiple major failures when one of it's engines exploded. He discusses the incident itself and how he felt afterwards and then gives us some great knowledge and advice about stress, failure management and safety culture. This one isn't just for A320 pilots, in fact, it's not even just for pilots - everyone can learn from this episode. If that wasn't enough, Richard has also donated two signed copies of his latest book, Fly! for them to give away. He has set a question for you to answer, get it correct and you'll be in with a chance of wining one of these two books.
