Mind of a Pilot
whatnext...
I've been around about 40 years and I do think there is the mind of a pilot.
Sadly, many who fly for a living don' t have the mind of a pilot.
Some of the better books by real pilots begin to touch upon the mind of a pilot, but only obliquely.
Example of not a mind of a pilot would be the copilot flying the air france 447.
Wolfgang Langweische writes that flying is done largely with the mind. Pushing buttons is not of the mind.
Ask yourself who the great pilots were? Lindbergh, Wilbur and Orville Wright, Doolittle and others. Begin to understand the mind of a pilot through books or real interaction with other pilots.
I could speak of a pilot named Bill. No one here is likely to know him, but he could fly and his mind was fine for flying.
I could speak of EK Gann and some beautiful words, perhaps some of you will know the book and chapter...Eastern Pilots are singularly determined and clever...
so whatnext, sorry you haven't picked up on the mind of a pilot.
teaching someone to fly is one thing...teaching them to think like a pilot is something else.
