Plane Safety Podcast - Safety from the flightdeck
An aviation podcast hosted by Pilot Pip and Capt Al about flying, our jobs as professional pilots, aviation safety matters and general pilot bar talk and chit chat.

I had a little bit of storage left over so I thought Id use it and make a quick round up of some of the latest news stories. Unfortunately I had to compress the file down to quite a low bit rate to make it fit, so the sound quality may not be great Sorry.

Anyway, there is a catch up with the latest for the search of MH370.

FAA cuts the Indians some slack.

Aerotoxic syndrome is back in the news

And American Airlines has some ipad problems. 

 

Enjoy and fly safe,

Pip

Plane Safety Podcast Episode 12 - The Kegworth Air Disaster

In this episode of Plane Safety Podcast we look at the Kegworth Air Disaster of 1989. 

We have some great Squawks in Squawkbox and the usual scattering of chat, poor comedy and musical tomfoolery.

 

Intro & outro music by the legendary Geoff Whitehorn.

 

The AAIB full accident report following the Kegworth crash can be found at https://www.gov.uk/aaib-reports/4-1990-boeing-737-400-g-obme-8-january-1989

 

Squawks

Mat Guest sent some information on Toncontin airport in Honduras

David Abbey says hi and it reminds me of my time travelling the USA

Ryan Harper has a great question about runway lengths.

 

You can send your squawks to planesafetypodcast@gmail.com or via www.planesafetypodcast.com

Remember to like the show on Facebook, I leave regular updates and photo competions on the Plane Safety Pocast facebook page. It would also be great if you could leave a review of the show on iTunes.

Thanks for listening and fly safe !
