How to sustain it!
Harry
Thanks for starting this thread.
I am impressed every week that goes by without a major hull loss, never mind a year.
Considering all the misunderstandings one hear on the radio and some of the brilliant ideas that are proposed in the flightdeck.
And that is just what I hear.
Reading reports has been a hobby of mine from November 1988 and as I have advanced up the MTOW ladder I have been fascinated by how easy it is to make the next takeoff the last, on any A/C , any Ops.
As I have learned from others to avoid or recover from mistakes, so has the industry.
SOP discipline and respect for rules and regs written after major accidents or trends is the biggest progress paired with better equipment TCAS and GPWS.
Training and the human factor has gone backwards the last 15 years, which is why I think 2017 was a one off.
So how do we secure more years of zero airline loss.
I have a few ideas , but that for later.
