It's that moment when you realize how close you came to the edge. Pilots learn to compartmentalize fear so when you get on the ground, that's when the full impact of the situation shifts your perception. It's also when you realize your hands are frozen in a grip around the yoke, and your knees are trembling from the adrenaline that was telling you to fight AND flight. Do you have a fight and flight moment...?

Moments on the 'edge' typically involve the release of adrenaline. A stress hormone that acts a serious drag on higher cognitive functioning. Evolutionarily speaking this was to force our ancestors out of their heads and into a purely reactionary fight or flight mode. Most certainly not an ideal state for any pilot to be in. Those pilots who have gone to the 'edge' and indeed those who have gone beyond it and lived to tell the story have earned something precious. Something that cannot be taught, or passed on in any way. Something that can only be acquired through experience: the delaying of the onset of the biochemically based stress reaction. Put another way, it is often referred to as 'having ice in your veins'. This is the gold star pinnacle won through experience. The ability to some degree to delay the release of adrenaline and remain calm, calculating and fully cognitive during those inevitable high pressure moments.

Attention drawn to pilot fatigue as Batik Air pilots reportedly nod off mid-flight. In Europe, pilot fatigue persists as a significant issue: A 2023 survey of 6,900 pilots revealed 72.9% feel they lack sufficient rest between shifts, with three-quarters experiencing microsleeps on duty in the last month. Gain deeper insights into this critical topic with our latest post, and don't miss the thought-provoking article linked below. https://lnkd.in/dMHDyiT2 (Credit: Getty Images & BBC By Zaria Gorvett, Features correspondent) #simbuddy #aviation #aviationnews #airlines #pilots #aircrew #aviationindustry #captains #captain #fo #firstofficers #firstofficer #airlineindustry #cityjet #atc #AirTrafficControl #airtrafficcontroller #pilotfatique #luchtvaart #bombardier #boeing #embraer #pilot #flightsafety #aviationsafety #humanfactors

"According to Armstrong, the process of aircrew training is under pressure as the business aviation community scrambles to fill the pilot pipeline while keeping current pilot skills sharp and up-to-date. Comprehensive training is more essential than ever, because 'a good safety culture begins with knowledge,' she said." #aviation #aviationindustry #pilot #pilottraining #learn #flight #bizav #bizjet #businessaviation #corporateaviation #airplane #aircraft #pilotlife #ceo #business #businesstravel #charterflight #chiefpilot #training #safety

✈️During WWII, the Link flight trainer was a state of the art simulator used to teach aviators the skills necessary to safely operate their aircraft. I can only imagine what it would have been like to be sealed inside that small box while the instructor radio'd instructions and commands. ✈️The technology has come a LONG way since those early days for sure, and the latest state of the art devices, like the CAE 550XRs, are an integral part to a comprehensive training program. There is always a certain level of stress associated with flight training, but instructors are there to help...I promise. 😎 ・ ・ ・ #aviation #avgeek #aviationphotography #aviationlovers #boeing #aircraft #airplane #aviationdaily #planespotting #a #pilot #plane #aviationgeek #pilotlife #flying #lovers #flight #planespotter #travel #fly #planes #aviationphoto #flighttraining #cae #flightsimulator #flightsimulation #training #trainingexcellence #trainingcourse #traininganddevelopment #alaska #alaskaairlines

Sometimes it takes contrast to see something is wrong. Step back and look at the big picture. At first, you might not even notice if you preflight each tire individually. What's your guess as to the cause..?
