Clouds like this, make me humble. Clouds like this, make me alert after the recent events with Austrian Airlines and the damage clouds like this caused to an Airbus A320, left me thinking what it would cause to my, much smaller Diamond family that I fly frequently. This specific aircraft, I have been recently flying on, has a multitude of weather services on board. I have WX radar, stormscope, iridium weather connex. So, flying in the last couple days, I have revisited all the knowledge and experiences I ever had with icing, turbulence, hail, and avoidance techniques. But what most people don’t know, because it’s not necessarily a part of my keynote, is how I once had a near death experience on a ferry flight from Austria to Japan. As in aviation, it was multitudes of reason that led to this disastrous event for me. I entered night flight, though usually we only fly during day light hours, which makes sense since, being a single pilot on a long distance ferry will challenge you in many ways: fatigue being one of them. In this special occasion I was facing a CB super cell along the ITCZ that even much bigger airliners were avoiding by many miles. I didn’t have the luxury ( meaning fuel) to do such an extensive avoidance manover, nor could I have climbed above it. #weflydiamindaiecraft #pilotlife #ferrypilot

Attending the AGIFORS Operations Conference 2024: Embracing Innovation and Resilience Dear friends and colleagues, This June, I have the distinct honor of attending the AGIFORS Operations Conference in Hamburg, where visionaries from airlines, academia, and industry will converge to illuminate the future of airline operations and disruption recovery. In our ever-evolving aviation world, the challenges we face demand not just incremental improvements but revolutionary leaps forward. It's a reminder of a fundamental belief I've always held dear: #innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower. At AGIFORS, we will explore the heart of airline operations, studying cutting-edge innovations that are transforming our industry. We'll confront the complexities of disruption recovery, seeking not just to mend the cracks but to reimagine the entire foundation. This is our opportunity to turn adversity into advantage, to craft solutions that not only withstand the test of time but also set new standards for excellence. I'm particularly excited about the collaboration between airlines, scholars, and vendors. This cross-pollination of ideas is where magic happens. It's where we challenge the status quo, break down barriers, and build a future that once seemed unattainable. Together, we have the power to revolutionize how we think about and approach operational efficiency and resilience. As we gather in Hamburg, I am reminded of the words I once shared: "The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do." Let’s embrace that spirit of relentless innovation and bold thinking. Let's push the boundaries and create a new era of #aviation that is more resilient, more efficient, and more visionary than ever before. Join me on this journey. Let's turn ideas into reality and inspire the world with what we achieve. Stay healthy, smart, upbeat, enthusiastic, and positive. #AGIFORS2024 #AirlineOperations #DisruptionRecovery #FutureOfFlight #Leadership #Hamburg

When passengers grumble about flight delays, they overlook the irony: crew members, seemingly ready to fly, often go unpaid until the plane is taxiing. This scenario repeats upon landing, with crew pay ending once passengers disembark. Sometimes, airline crew contribute to delays or cancellations due to exceeded duty hours or unexpected unavailability. Airlines use standby crews to mitigate such disruptions, but effective planning is key. "Where were the crew?" This question arises during resource shortages caused by absent staff or last-minute changes. In such cases, technology can bolster standby coverage by analyzing historical data and current circumstances. Poor integration within airline operations amplifies disruptions. Mainframe reliance and disjointed systems hinder communication and increase error risks. A well-designed technology platform can dissolve operational silos and empower staff with relevant information. While human intervention remains crucial, advanced systems streamline decision-making and manage routine tasks. Intelligent "Triage" prioritizes critical issues during disruptions, enabling airlines to allocate resources strategically and mitigate losses. Key platform features include: 1. Situational Awareness Window 2. Management by Exception 3. What-if Analysis 4. Mobility and Cloud Capability Ultimately, technology should complement human expertise, providing timely information and tools for effective decision-making. https://lnkd.in/eWv8ahfm In summary, the collaboration of technology and human intelligence is essential for navigating disruptions and ensuring operational efficiency. The goal is not to replace human judgment but to enhance it with data-driven insights and streamlined processes. #airlinesandairplanes #technology #aviation #innovation #airtravel

🤯 Do you also know the tingling sensation before a big moment? In my opinion, this basic nervousness is a positive thing. It’s precisely the adrenaline in our veins that can lead us to new peak performances - and in a completely authentic way. I know what I'm talking about: during my first panel discussion as part of the IATA World Safety and Operations Conference in Hanoi, I really had my pants on fire 🔥 especially with the last-minute stress of arriving. 😉 But it turned into a real stand-up comedy act - zero preparation, no pre-agreed questions, pure improvisation. So what do I do to combat nervousness? Nothing 😂 Who wants artificial perfection when you can do it with humor and honesty? Exactly! What about you? Are you friends or foes of nervousness? #LIONLABS #nervousness #paneldiscussion #XBAG #WSOC

Simulator training is intended to equip us with the skills needed to handle non-normal and emergency situations in the aircraft. Unfortunately, the differences between simulator training and real-world flying often promote a mindset mismatch that interferes with successfully handling real-world events. In this discussion topic, I examine this problem and its solutions. https://lnkd.in/gBjAueYa
