Emergency experiences sought
I am hoping one or more pilots reading this posting may be able to help me.
Specifically, I am looking for a pilot or pilots whom would be interested in being interviewed. The topic would be regarding any in-flight emergency that you may have experienced within UK controlled airspace.
In detail, this interview would form part of an internal safety bulletin that is issued periodically within NATS. The theme of the next issue is 'True Stories' that have good lesson learning points. Ideally, these would be lessons that could apply to technical aspects of pilot/controller interactions, or lessons that apply across work spheres (i.e. the importance of briefing, applying correct procedures etc).
Any interviews would be de-personalised and if required, can be written in such a way that it prevents identification of the specific incident, unless you confirm that you are happy for any/all details to be released. A full copy of your interview in the proposed feature would be sent to you prior to printing, for you to edit if required.
Should you be interested in assisting, please PM me for contact details.
Printing is in January, so replies in the next two/three weeks would be greatfully received.
