Every pilot writes their own destiny. It is part of the allure of aviation: The ability to chart your own course, test yourself in challenging conditions, and ensure a safe return to Earth. But that self-determination comes with responsibility and a humble respect for your own limitations. >>> Regulations exist for a reason, codified lessons learned from generations of aviators before. Having the discipline to follow the rules, even when no one is watching, is the mark of a mature and experienced pilot. On a tactical level, Air Traffic Controllers have a much larger picture of the airspace and are doing their best to keep you and your passengers safe. >>> This is not to suggest blind adherence. It is always your prerogative to question authority if it is in error. But, in general, the structure of our air traffic system promotes safety, efficiency, and ease of use. >>> At Greater Than Six, we are interested to hear your stories facing the Anti-Authority attitude in the real world. A debrief of the situation, reasoning, execution, and consequences will provide valuable insight to your peers. As always, your identity is safe and you may speak openly under the protection of anonymity. Share your story at www.greaterthansix.com. #aviation #mentalhealth #P6SM

A350 uncommanded altitude deviations persist despite control unit update #Airbus is investigating further uncommanded altitude changes on A350 twinjets despite modifications implemented after a similar situation emerged on the type two years ago. #A350 crews had previously been given a revised altitude-selection procedure after investigations found that a failure of the altitude-selector dial – located on the flight control unit – could result in changes to the target altitude. This target could change by 100ft or 1,000ft, depending on the interval setting, and lead to unexpected deviation from the intended vertical trajectory. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency stated in 2021 that incidents of unwanted altitude changes by the auto-flight system had been traced to a manufacturing flaw on the altitude-selector knob’s encoder.
