Why do preliminary aviation reports sometimes distinguish between milestones occurring "as per EAFR" and specific statistics like "maximum recorded airspeed"? In this episode, we analyze the technical nuance behind these terms, using the example of a 180 KIAS peak to illustrate the difference between procedural events (like V1 or Vr) and peak values captured in a data trace. We also dive into the architecture of the 787's Enhanced Airborne Flight Recorder (EAFR) and the

In this episode, we deconstruct the preliminary acoustic evidence surrounding the infamous cockpit exchange: “Why did you cut off?” — “I didn’t do it.”.While media reports suggest the CVR audio needed to be "cleaned up" to identify these voices, this necessity for heavy post-processing reveals a critical forensic clue. It suggests investigators were forced to rely on the Cockpit Area Microphone (CAM) rather than the typically clear individual headset channels.Key Analysis Points:• The

In this podcast, we analyse the critical gap between written Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and the tactile reality of cockpit practice, using the AI132 fuel control switch incident as a key case study.1. The "Mess Hall" Problem We begin with an analogy from A Few Good Men: just because the procedure to get to the mess hall isn’t in the book, it doesn’t mean the Marines don’t eat. Similarly, in aviation, you can do the job safely every day even when the manual doesn’t describe every
