Hello guys,
2007 was a good year for Nigerian commercial aviation (statistically), no fatal accidents or hull losses (except for those hulls being hacked to pieces near the cargo ramp
). There was one Nigerian navy Agusta 109 crash by in Owerri (Three officers lost their lives - RIP). It was also a good year worldwide, lowest number of accidents in the last 40 years. I'm sure we all had a few hairy moments in 2007.
I hope we don't get complacent in 2008, the airspace is getting busier and the economy is growing.
Personally, I would like to see stricter adherance to SOPs, regulations and a greater acceptance of CRM. We are experiencing an influx of aircraft especially regional jets and the experience levels on both seats will gradually reduce. Its high time we got rid of old attitudes and old ways of flying.
Any thoughts
