Try and find a friend who has nothing to do with aviation and ask them what they think of AAR.
Explain to this person that AAR involves plugging a small tube into a small receptacle whilst flying at hundreds of miles an hour in all weathers. Watch their face and see what they think of it.
To those of us that have done it we are aware that it is a skill that can be practiced and becomes almost routine.
The programme is not intended to explain AAR to us though is it? It is trying to explain it to the wide eyed public who think what we do is a black art.
If the producers made a dry, emotionless programme to please pilots it wouldn’t get funded.
Surely this isn’t too hard to understand?
