Check out this compelling piece by Jop Dingemans on Sim-Buddy.com. Recent studies reveal that 78% of pilots experience anxiety when seeking medical care, fearing its impact on their flying career. Additionally, 42% admit to withholding information during medical exams for similar reasons. But merely relying on the IMSAFE checklist and blaming pilots won't cut it anymore. Jop delves into the root causes of this issue and offers solutions.

Fit to Fly: 5 Tips for Working With Feds If there is one thing on which most pilots agree, it is their contempt for Federal Aviation Administration medical requirements. Whether the concern is for the heart, mind or body, aviators worry that working with FAA on any issue will disqualify them for flight. But decades of working with the administration have shown that in many cases, aviators are more likely to disqualify themselves for not knowing the rules than for working honestly with the feds. Following are five tips to make sure the process goes smoothly. 1: Don’t Lie to Fly Aviators often believe that “if you are flying, you are lying.” And while it is true that certain things need not be reported to FAA, even aviation medical examiners can miss the forest for the trees and make mistakes that ground airmen. Typically, aviators are better off Continue Reading Air Beat Magazine at publicsafetyaviation.org/

Basic rules of setting SSR Codes. Bellow are listed so called "non-discrete" codes which help every pilot in day to day situations whether he/she is an experienced pilot or at the starting point of his/hers career. Correct setting of SSR codes can also help Air traffic controllers to better understand and communicate between each other and can prevent possible errors. Codes 7500, 7600 and 7700 are reserved internationally and are regulated by International Civil Aviation Organization Doc. 4444. Underlined codes 2000 and 7000, are recognized in the European Union trough SERA.13005 by EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency. #atc101 #ssr #squawk #eurocontrol #aviationdaily

New Generations of Airliners✈️🛫🛫👨✈️👩✈️ Safety in commercial flights is paramount, and pilot training is crucial. It combines theoretical knowledge and practical skills, with pilots mastering aviation theory and using simulators to handle various conditions. The FAA's 1,500-hour rule ensures adequate experience, though some argue it doesn't fully reflect large aircraft conditions. The growing presence of young pilots is due to the retirement of experienced aviators, increased air traffic, and airline incentives. Despite concerns, rigorous regulations, advanced training methods, and effective mentorship ensure that young pilots are well-prepared and safe. Young pilots start as First Officers, gaining experience under seasoned Captains. This mentorship is crucial, especially as the industry faces a shortage, needing 649,000 new pilots by 2042. Addressing this gap is vital for sustained growth and safety in aviation. #training #aviation #pilots #pilotshortage #airbus #boeing #aviationindustry #BoomerRetirements #Futureofflight #pilotretirement

Three of the most influential pilot advocates in the world discussing the potential threat to passenger and crew safety (and to those who live under the flight paths!) from a concept being considered by Airbus and EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency to reduce the number of pilots required on the flight deck. In order to convince our passengers and colleagues, the question is "why is a second professional pilot on the flight deck at all times, detrimental to our safety?" #ifalpa2024
