What a TOPIC

As can be seen from the previous 2 pages of replies, it is a large subject matter that can be tailored to suit any safety briefing. There are many examples of airlines that have crashed due to low SA, some have pulled finger at the last minute and got away with a cold sweat!

I like the suggestions from some early posts regarding a map with the stud drawing in the aircraft track and altitude changes. The briefing, still on standby, probably next week, is aimed at the very low time, ab initio studs.

For those interested, a saw a great documentary on a New Zealand airline having ILS problems, at night, assuming and eventually fighting there way out to safety. Picture didn't look or feel right, but the continued, most of us have been there. Was an error with the GS fault alerting due to runway work in progress.

Keep the SA flag flying high... I'll post the ppt briefing once completed.
