Leadership forces
The word Leadership is like the word Religion. It means so many different things that it has become meaningless. How can you invest in Leadership Development without a clear definition of what you are trying to develop? Our process starts by understanding what a great leader looks like in your Organisation so that we can help develop more of them. In order to get the conversation started we share our Leadership Philosophy which is based on 10 Core Principles. We then tailor our approach to suit the needs of your Organisation.

Maybe we should get rid of Just Culture by Paul Reuter
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/maybe-we-should-get-rid-just-culture-paul-reuter Don’t get me wrong , I still think that Just Culture as a concept and especially the introduction of a definition of Just Culture in regulation EU376/2014 has been a milestone in flight safety. However, I have come to the conclusion that we have fallen short of exploring the whole potential of Just Culture, or for that, Culture in general. In 2015, the EU Commission took the initiative to elaborate, together with industry stakeholders, the “European Just Culture Declaration ” a document full of worthwhile statements, but, which , at best, has been given barely more than lip service by large parts of our industry. Of course, when you ask organisations, they all profess that they have a “Just Culture” or a “Safety Culture”. What most of them mean, however, is that they have transposed the provisions of EU 376/2014 and the definition of Just Culture into their documentation. (They most certai...
Safety standdown 2019
A standard is something we set up and use as a measure – a systematic way of achieving a goal, a level of performance. Safety Standdown 2019 will discuss setting standards, determining how to change those standards to get the best possible results and how to implement them within your organizations. https://livestream.com/accounts/244733/SSD2019/videos/198849900 https://livestream.com/accounts/244733/SSD2019/videos/198857938

Why Do Many Pilot Seats Have Sheepskin Covers?
https://aviationvoice.com/why-do-many-pilot-seats-have-sheepskin-covers-2-201908061604/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=from_sheepskin_pilots_seat_covers_to_737_max&utm_term=2019-08-10 Probably, most of you have seen sheepskin seat covers in almost every cockpit you have ever been to. If you are still a newbie in aviation world and haven’t tried any cockpit yet, you have surely seen those grey or white fluffy pilot seats in films. However, the reason of covering pilot seats with sheepskin is more practical than it might seem.

What is the difference between ADSB Out and ADSB In?
https://www.thebalancecareers.com/what-s-the-difference-between-ads-b-out-and-ads-b-in-282562 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_dependent_surveillance_%E2%80%93_broadcast?wprov=sfti1 Automatic dependent surveillance—broadcast ( ADS–B ) is a surveillance technology in which an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation and periodically broadcasts it, enabling it to be tracked. The information can be received by air traffic control ground stations as a replacement for secondary surveillance radar , as no interrogation signal is needed from the ground. It can also be received by other aircraft to provide situational awareness and allow self-separation . ADS–B is "automatic" in that it requires no pilot or external input. It is "dependent" in that it depends on data from the aircraft's navigation system. Using "ADS-B Out", each aircraft periodically broadcasts information about itself, such as identific...
How a Pilot is Expected to Behave?
It takes more than just passive listening, taking theory exams and accumulating flight hours to become a competent pilot. Therefore, the aviation industry has already started to adopt a new way of pilot training, based on the development of competencies. https://aviationvoice.com/mpl-how-a-pilot-is-expected-to-behave-2-201905301427/?
How Wings ACTUALLY Create Lift!
The theory that lift is created by a differential pressure between the upper and the lower surface of the airfoil is not completely correct. We need to take into account that the airflow changes direction after leaving the surface via the trailing edge. That is the main reason why lift is created. https://youtu.be/YDeQXPNpLeY
Red Bull Stratos - The Full Story
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYw4meRWGd4 October 14, 2012, Felix Baumgartner ascended more than 24 miles above Earth's surface to the edge of space in a stratospheric balloon. Millions across the globe watched as he opened the door of the capsule, stepped off the platform, and broke the speed of sound while free falling safely back to Earth. Felix set three world records that day—and inspired us all to reach beyond the limits of our own realities, and reimagine our potential to achieve the incredible. GoPro was honored to be a part of this epic achievement, with seven HERO2 cameras documenting every moment. From the airless freeze of outer space, to the record-breaking free fall and momentous return to ground—see it all through Felix's eyes as captured by GoPro, and experience this incredible mission like never before. No one gets you closer than this.
How to make good decisions
Mikael and Roman’s funny but profound talk presents us with decision‐making strategies most of us practice and reveals typical problems like TMI (too much information), PDF (post‐decision feeling) and the truth about perfection (that no one has ever seen but is rumoured to exist). With a remarkable casualness the duo gives us a summary of their bestseller book titled The Decision Book: 50 Models for Strategic Thinking. Finnish-born, but raised in Sweden and Germany, Mikael is an editor of Switzerland’s biggest weekly magazine “Das Magazin”. Prior to that he was a staff writer for NZZ FOLIO, and worked as a copywriter for various advertising agencies. A graduate from the Zurich University of Arts, Swiss-born Roman is a Biel-based creative producer, consulting and producing various projects ranging from documentary movies and campaigns to art installations, pop music and cook books. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkyzYjPuxK8

80 percent of success is simply showing up
http://persistenceunlimited.com/2006/03/woody-allens-success-secret/ "80 percent of success is just showing up" — Woody Allen I often think about that quotation. It may sound easy to shrug off, but not if you look a little deeper. It doesn’t just mean show up for job interviews or to work for an 80% increase in success. Showing up also means starting ...
The Hurry-up syndrome
The Hurry-up syndrome by Javier Viana This article is about time pressure in the cockpit, or hurry up syndrome or get-there-it is , as you want to call it and their relation to errors. Although time pressure could be perceived in both seats, that is, as a Captain or as a First Officer, the Captain is the one responsible to establish a pace in the execution of SOP in the cockpit, and finally he will be responsible in front of the Company supervisor for the delay in the flight. First of all, we need to set the basis of what an error is. For that, I have taken the Professor Reason’s types of error that follows. Professor Reason suggests an error classification. The most well-known of these are slips, lapses, and mistakes. Violations are not taken as errors. Slips can be thought of as actions not carried out as intended or planned, e.g. When you are changing the frequency in your audio box and you finger trouble it or when you fill out the flight log book with...
