As a helicopter owner, operator and as a company that used to be a flight school- I thank you. It is absolutely all our collective responsibility to ‘say something’ after all they’re sharing the skies with us all…and it’s not always going to be received or seen as advice. Sadly. I’ll always keep trying. Thank you
With the breath of freedom that learning to fly introduces into our lives, we must keep breathing new experiences and lessons, because ultimately if we stop this process of adapting, complacency will make us a statistic.
Very glad your post was suggested. I warched reviews of the accident and the incident gets discussed in my flying group in Canada. It was a tragedy. The instructors were not helping make her flying better. Can people be impervious to well meaning critique? Absolutely, I have burned a friendship trying to help someone be better! Your comments are very thought provoking. Thank you.
Well done. Well said. 🙌 This is the conversation we should all be having with ourselves, and each other.
well you teach to challenge assumptions... glad for that
Brian this was a heart warming moment and I absolutely agree to not hold back from speaking up about aviation safety and what we should do to prevent more of these fatalities happening again.
This one really hits home. So much of my day job is focused on risk management, I spend a lot of my day in uncomfortable conversations and it's hard to get those who are oblivious to the level of risk to see things from a different perspective. We have the historical knowledge of how small decisions made today eventually snowball into an accident. I have to constantly remind myself that small course corrections today no matter how uncomfortable may save someone from themselves. Unfortunately my line of work only applies on the ground, but it's something I carry with me in the air and in the aviation community. Well said sir!
Thanks man... an uncomfortable conversation is better than no conversation.
Thank you for this Brian, it gave me the good cry 😭 that I really needed to have related to Jenny's loss. You hit on so many crucial points and I appreciate the message so very much.
Thank you - I know you felt the same.
I really liked this. As is the case with your videos I end up thinking a lot about what you've said. That's happened for this video.
For myself, I try very hard to ignore my ego when I'm receiving feedback. But it's hard. I have to actively supress my defensiveness to poorly delivered criticism.
This is one thing ive learned from you. Let ruthless feedback serve as a guide. Don't let my ego get in the way of hearing something that could save my life.
And even after actively doing this I still find my natural defensiveness kick in. Someone who isn't actuvely trying to suppress their ego will likely react differently.
This is all to say that, if the goal is to get through, I think delivery of feedback matters. My wife is the best I've ever seen at this and I have a lot to learn from her. I often will chat with her before I give feedback to get her to help me with my delivery.
I've come to believe that poorly delivered feedback can be worse than no feedback. In that most people - at least in my experience - will double down rather than listen to the intention of the feedback.
If the goal is the feel better about saying something then delivery is less important. I don't think that's your goal.
Some great ideas in this video that should make all pilots think.
That is all one can hope to contribute - thanks Evan
I think we’ve all had those “should’ve moments” in life that we question, I know I do.
indeed!
Thanks for saying what most are unable to say. I am thinking that the "stupid mountain" syndrome is associated with the 400 hour pilot because that is statistically where the median falls. As with many processes there is an underlying skewed Gaussian curve behind the statistic, ocassionally putting the >5000 hour pilot on Stupid Mountain. My sense is that we all find out what we are capable of by testing limits, often subconsciously. (I think I can make the first turnoff.) I am still learning at >1800 hours. Regarding Jenny, perhaps holding her to a higher standard in her training was a service she deserved. Reaching out to fellow aviators with a caring comment when there is concern is appropriate.
It’s a tragic accident that should have been avoided and folks say they could see the warning signs. Maybe she did as well but kept attempting to use the faulty equipment nevertheless. It reminds me of an old saying: “there’s bold pilots and old pilots but there’s no bold old pilots”. Great video and thanks for sharing!
Nothing was faulty it appeared, except knowledge.
"how should we, as pilots, keep tabs on each other?"
"you don't have to be a CFI to ask hard questions"
wow. I can't really add anything here. Thank you.
Thanks for watching/listening!
Very touching video. Such a sad, yet avoidable loss. I watched many of her videos, commented on some, never the right comment apparently. I could have been more wrong, but who knows if anything would have changed the outcome of that flight.
I can be pretty good at being annoying.
keep it up!
Another great one.
Thank you... all the best
Brian, I appreciate your content. The aviation of course but also your artistic touch. It’s always a pleasure to watch.
The video, a timely subject to touch on with the recent passing of TNFlyGirl. Always SPEAK UP! But also equally important, is LISTEN openly to criticism. I feel like neither happened, or often enough at least, in her case.
do what one can yes thanks Zach
So many thoughts on this one…. “have ever not said something, and someone died” - yes, kinda. This was the event. Hit me up if you want to talk more about this one. I’m base out of DKX. Her and I got our PPL on the same day, at the same airport, with the same DPE. I’d like to meet you next time you’re in Knoxville.
I can only imagine. Join our Midlife Pilot Podcast discord and we can stay connected there and will let you know. I love flying into DKX.
Just found you on UA-cam, good stuff.
your words are so powerful sir thank you❤
Thanks and most welcome.
