How long can sub optimal practices percolate before a resultant catastrophic fallout? Whilst the old Heinrich's/ Bird’s triangles have come under some criticism recently (for example by the oil/ gas industry), there remains some pertinent rationale for improving the base of the triangle by providing the highest quality of #ProactivePilotTraining and instilling best practices. Aerospace, Aeronautical and Nautical environments are all valid examples where the fundamentals need to be maintained at the highest possible levels as below: https://lnkd.in/e2cnkVBu https://lnkd.in/efs7Vbph Boeing: How much trouble is the company in? https://lnkd.in/ekHdF2tK
