Hi Fearless Flyers, welcome to my new series on the Fearless Flyer Podcast, "There I was... with Al." I will be interviewing pilots about their aviation careers, their initial flying experiences and what they have experienced throughout their career, the lessons they have learnt and finally asking them what makes a good pilot.
So join me, Allan, in the middle of every month for a new journey into the fascinating careers of everyday individuals who you rarely get to interact with behind that locked flight deck door.

Hello Fearless Flyers, we continue our discussion with Adrian about the disastrous effects of when flight crew lose their situational awareness, this time the aircraft had GPWS installed but it was still using basic GPWS, new technology that was available had not yet been mandated into the industry to save this particular flight. Let's listen to what happened as Don and his team that developed the GPWS probably looked upon this particular accident in frustration, in that the regulators were slow to implement their new technology.

Hello Fearless Flyers, we continue our discussion with Adrian about the disastrous effects of when flight crew lose their situational awareness, the good news however was that the regulators had sat up and mandated that new technology be applied to reduce this ongoing issue. And a brilliant avionics engineer Don Bateman and his team would ultimately come to the rescue.
