Eighty years of aviation experience between them, Tony and special guest Dr. Petitt discuss the real challenges in aviation safety today, how we got here, and where we can go to improve. Dr. Karlene Petitt, an international airline pilot, author, pilot advocate, and aviation safety subject matter expert (visit her website here), discusses the current state of aviation and why passionate instructors are critical to hand down foundational knowledge. Tune in to hear why pilots are getting half the training hours they used to, problems from overreliance on automation, and more about some aviation safety issues that have recently gotten more public attention but are definitely not new.
