Last night I watched the documentary “The Deadliest Plane Crash”
The documentary lays out a series of mistakes and unusual situations that combined to result in the deadliest plane crash in history.
In summary, the Tenerife airport disaster was the collision of two Boeing 747 airliners on the runway of Los Rodeos Airport (now known as Tenerife North Airport) on the Spanish island of Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands. With 583 fatalities, the crash remains the worst accident in aviation history.
The #1 issue was pilot error.
The documentary moves onto lessons learned and changes in pilot training.
At the core of the lessons learned is training that the airplanes captain accept and encourage crew to question and point out mistakes rather than remain silent.
OK, we have several pilots amongst us. Is the documentary correct that the commercial pilot training now places an emphasis on accepting crews concerns and if so, could this also apply to making boating safer?
