Agencies External to the Aircraft.

An instructor wrote the following assessment of a student Navigator’s training flight:

He struggled in situations where he had to develop his ability to prioritise tasks in a flexible environment and engage with agencies external to the aircraft.

It’s easy to offer advice and opinions and theory on decision making and leadership and management and the range of skills required in a workplace.

We’re in our chairs typing, or standing before a group of conscripts going through our Powerpoint deck. Slide 1. Slide 2. Questions? Slide 3. Morning Tea. Slide 4…

Ground school is easy.

Life is hard.
