Cockpit Complacency, December 9, 2018
This week,\xa0Al confesses to some troubles in the cockpit, that ultimately point to an enemy of a pilot ....\xa0Complacency!\xa0 Marc and Al take the conversation to a\xa0deeper\xa0level and\xa0come to the conclusion, that the very things pilots strive for as part of a safety culture, including\xa0process, standardization, and\xa0a rigid acceptance of checklists, can contribute to routines that may detract from the quality of a flight and potentially, its safety.
But fear not, the crew\xa0brainstorms\xa0strategies and tactics that can counteract those outcomes and add new skills and enjoyment to your flying.\xa0 And even better, the subject is not yet closed.\xa0 We'd love to hear from you about ways you keep your skills fresh and remain alert to minor anomalies that may have a significant impact on safety.\xa0 Please share your ideas with the entire SimpleFlight Facebook and Instagram community\xa0@simpleflightradio\xa0\xa0

lineguy99\xa0correctly answered our Instagram post asking for the make and model of a top down and cutoff picture of a single engine aircraft.\xa0 He knew the picture was of a Piper Mirage, based on the nose cowling, the fuselage, and the DeIce boots.\xa0 Thought we made it tough with the two bladed prop, but you can't put anything by our Avgeek of the Week
