At the beginning of my aviation career it became quite evident to me that in order to find success in the flight deck it was going to be important to learn from my shortfalls and use those small mistakes to develop my skills.

I am sure that all of us have events in our minds that have stuck with us throughout and used those events to strengthen our subsequent performances and make ourselves better pilots. Aviation safety relies significantly on the ability to asses our own performances, own up to our shortfalls and work hard at eliminating them. The most satisfying and beneficial way for me to learn has always been through my peers and their desire to share information and knowledge.

I think we can all learn much more from each other particularly in the small confines of the flight deck. I got great pleasure in interviewing one of my mentors and colleagues on my podcast. This platform is proving to be invaluable in my learning process.
