The Citation 500 jockey was a bit of a lad!

Maybe nobody read it: the accident report, beneath the video, is extremely worrying!

Maybe nobody read it: the accident report, beneath the video, is extremely worrying! Accident Probe: No Idea What’s Going On Accidents/NTSB August 3, 2020 Ahh, now it makes sense! Not sure if it's a case of age related response time or pure lack of comprehension but I did wonder if I was missing something following your "jockey" comment. Having now read the Citation article I'm trying to comprehend the pilot's situation with regard to his experience/age mix. Not wishing to bring age into the safety considerations at this time but purely from the need to achieve a degree of competence when handing a complex high performance aeroplane solo in cloud when all your ducks are not in a row must raise some issues with regard to a pilot's display of minimum competence being achieved before it's too late? It is to be hoped that age alone will not be taken as a negative factor, no doubt there are 'older' aviators whose health probably exceeds that of some younger players...age alone should not condemn a pilot's career. It's difficult enough sitting at home behind the computer screen when learning the systems of a new business jet via home flight simulation software.. Hitting the 'pause' key has its benefits when scanning the manual for help or simply remembering where vital instruments/ switches are or figuring the navigation equipment when your time is literally 'running out'. If it goes wrong you can reboot and try again, at least you have a chance to learn where your mistakes were. |
