Summary
272 Max talks about three recent
accidents, all of which should have been avoidable. Interestingly,
two of them involve helicopters, and yet the lessons we can learn
from them apply directly to fixed wing pilots as well. Two of the
three accidents involve failure to follow standard operating
procedures, and two of them appear to include spatial
disorientation.
