Airplane accidents frequently result from subtle underlying precursors. It is very obvious that Asiana Flight #214 that splattered into SFO on Saturday, July 6 touched down well short of the runway. It is also very obvious that the pilots allowed the airplane to get too low and too slow. This accident will unequivocally be tagged by the NTSB final investigation as pilot error. Even during the preliminary discussion NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman stated that the aircraft was at an airspeed well...

The world of drones/UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) is growing at an exponential rate and it is a potential issue that can have wide spread implications and consequences. Interestingly, the mainstream media is keeping the drone dilemma on the back burner. It is a potentially volatile political issue, both with the immoral bombing of many innocent citizens in the Middle East, and the possibility of severe violations of our Fourth Amendment rights. How will the burgeoning technology and...

We know aviation will remain in a state of evolution, but we have to ask the question, how will that evolution adapt to the many potential obstacles to growth that are currently being experienced? The recent increased minimum flight time (implemented in August 2013) required for commercial pilots will certainly play a big role in this process. The reduction of pilot...

Are today’s pilots computer programmers or aviators who can manually fly their aircraft when the computer shuts down? How will the impending pilot shortage affect commercial airline safety?
