Tom Turner's Aero-Craft 101: Bad Attitudes
The Federal Aviation Administration identifies five personality
styles -- or pilot attitudes -- that it calls "hazardous" to flying
safety. Each "bad attitude" highlights traits that can inhibit good
decision making.
In many cases, however, it's these very traits that make a pilot
begin flying in the first place. It's important, then, to be able
to recognize the signs of "bad attitudes" in yourself so you can
avoid being blinded by your own decision-making style. Further,
although the FAA does not explore this in its publications, there
are times when elements of these so-called "bad attitudes" can
improve safety in the cockpit.
Today, ANN's Master CFI Tom Turner discusses the five hazardous
pilot attitudes, how we can recognize them in ourselves, and how we
can use this knowledge to make *better* decisions in flight.
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format, or an expanded
Aero-Briefing -- where you'll hear these stories:
Atlantis heads home with a "job-well-done."
The first female space tourist is set for launch...
And a US Air Force Base in Germany grounds all flights after
an F-16 pilot is forced to eject.
...And more.

Our DAILY programs consist of (at least) three separate
products.
- ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A
quick look at the most recent news of the day... short, succinct
and to the point. The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few
minutes and is a summary, only, of the day's events... and it only
takes a few minutes of your time.
- ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN
Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the
day's news. We give you the whole buzz... the news and features
that occupy the forefront of aviation news as well as solid
background on the subjects that aviators and other aviation
professionals need to stay informed on.
- ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: Our daily
'Aero-News Special Report' involves a more in-depth view of a story
or two that dominated (or will be dominating) the day's news. Far
more detailed than any single story in our standard ANN Daily
Reports, this is a solid chance to get a close look at the stories
and topics that matter. ASR features may include exclusive
interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's Special Investigative
reports and solid analysis of the stories that will have undeniable
impact on the world of aviation and aerospace.
Check them out, let us know what you think and be sure to keep
those news-tips and program suggestions coming... ANN is ALL about
what YOU want to know about in the world of aviation and
aerospace.
