BRYAN AIR

This is not a side project. Training pilots is my job, and I believe in the way an airline flight deck works. The structure. The discipline. The way a crew stays calm, works the problem and makes a decision after something goes wrong. Pilots are not born with those habits. They are trained into them, one session at a time, and that means anyone can learn them. They also work for the engine failures of life: the job that disappears, the diagnosis, the decision you have to make with half the information and no time. I want to give you the tools pilots use, so that when your moment comes, you have a proven way to handle it, from the most professional industry in the world.

I do this from South Africa, a country I love and refuse to look away from. We sit at the far end of a continent, a long way from everything, and we have never had the luxury of an easy run. That is exactly why this way of thinking belongs here.

• A Pilot Explains: one story South Africans are talking about, what a pilot sees in it, and the habit you can take from it.
• The Bryan Air Podcast: Ryan Parrock and Alan Macaulay join me to chat about the news and events shaping the aviation industry, the way pilots actually talk about it.

Made in Johannesburg. South African honesty.
