Seat belts save lives; however, their purpose differs between aeroplanes and cars. Seat belts on aeroplanes are primarily designed to prevent injuries arising from in-flight turbulence, not sudden deceleration in the event of an accident.
🕯️ Buried by time. Erased from memory. But not from truth.They ruled the hills. They fought empires. They left behind temples, coins, and stories… but no one remembers their name.Who were the Varaha Rajputs?Why were they written out of history?In this opening episode, we peel back the layers of forgotten chronicles and uncover a warrior clan whose legacy was deliberately silenced. Before the Mughals, before the British, before even the Rajputs of Rajasthan — there was Varaha.This isn’t just history.It’s a resurrection.📜 Forgotten by design.🩸 Remembered in blood.🔥 The rediscovery begins now.
I am a true believer that society and culture cannot be separated from work and training. However best the training may be, it is under a controlled environment and the performance indicators needed to be achieved are briefed before hand. The crew undergoing training works together to achieve their objective and they are driven by performance indicators required to be achieved to declare them competent. In the real world, the motivation, drive and targets are not briefed as well as they are in a training environment. There are a lot many distractions and personal cultures and behavioral influences are lot more active as compared to a training environment.
Air India Express IX1344 accident at Calicut airport where the aircraft plunged 35 meters killing 21 people including the pilots. The victims were transported to various hospitals in ambulances and private vehicles. While ambulances are equipped with life saving medical equipment, the Co-Pilot was rushed to a hospital 25km away an hours drive on the backseat of a private car thereby depriving him of the critical life saving equipment.

A Qatar Airways newly acquired Airbus A350-1000 series aircraft had a close call over Iran on 12th April when it came into close proximity with another crossing aircraft. The airliner equipped with the state of art technology and traffic collision avoidance system was seen climbing by about 500ft while cruising at 34000ft on a flight from Doha, Qatar to Los Angles, USA.
When does fear set in and the different categories of near misses.
McCurdy observed during the bombing of London in the World War that there were 3 categories.
1. Those who dies and those who were injured
2. Those who missed narrowly
3. The remote misses
The behavior varied and so was their definition of fear.
The IATA Travel Pass is a solution for both. It is built it in modules as an industry solution based on open-source standards. It can be used in combination with other providers or as an end-to-end solution. The most important thing is that it is responsive to industry needs while enabling a competitive market.
Be skeptical about claims for effectiveness of training methods. Always ask questions and on implementation of these techniques.
COVID19 crisis has crippled the aviation sector which has witnessed salary cuts and job losses to stay afloat. In this time of crisis the civil aviation ministry has managed to overlook utilization of budgetary allocation of a staggering INR1450 Cr FY 2020-21.
The Committee felt that the administrative jurisdiction of AAIB under the Ministry of Civil Aviation go against the tenets of impartiality and equality, since it may raise the genuine question of conflict of interest.
The DGCA has issued an AIC dated 20th April 2021 which states that The operation of B737 Max aircraft will not take place from/to Indian airports & transit or enter Indian airspace effective 13th March 2019 till further notice.
The Watchdog Faults FAA For 'Significant Misunderstanding' Of Flight System
RASE is a repository of safety experiences. The USP of this mobile application is that experiences can be shared globally through an easy to fill form and experiences can be sorted through a searchable database in various formats.
The application is for all X borders, uniting personnel using similar fleet, airports or just for information sake.
A high reliability organization (HRO) is an organization that has succeeded in avoiding catastrophes in an environment where normal accidents can be expected due to risk factors and complexity.
Important case studies in HRO research include both studies of disasters (e.g., Three Mile Island nuclear incident, the Challenger Disaster and Columbia Disaster, the Bhopal chemical leak, the Tenerife air crash, the Mann Gulch forest fire, the Black Hawk friendly fire incident in Iraq) and HROs like the air traffic control system, naval aircraft carriers, and nuclear power operations.

“Varaha uncovers how the Varaha Rajputs—traced to the Xiongnu—migrated via Central Asia into India and defended Bharat’s northern borders for centuries. Using Persian and Chinese sources, Indian records, and DNA insights, the book rebuilds a story mainstream history forgot, including the rise of the Hindu Shahis. It’s rigor, not romance—a reclamation of truth and a restoration of honour.”
Discover the impact of negative commands on pilot performance and aviation safety. Learn how cognitive biases like negativity bias contribute to real-life aviation incidents and how clear, positive communication can prevent disasters.
