#Germanwings Crash - Warning from expert quoted in my book ignored? #AF447 #MH370

#Germanwings Crash - Warning ignored? Update ahead of Air crash report by French authorities
+Germanwings +Air Crash Investigations 


Whenever an airline crash occurs, Aviation investigation teams descend on the scene, and a small fortune is spent on finding the black boxes and on establishing the cause of the crash.


Why? Simple. To find out what lessons can be learned, or technological improvements can be introduced to prevent the same cause from bringing down another airliner.


Surprisingly, not all pilots or airline chiefs are as dedicated to studying the lessons to be learned as they should be. Often, sound advice from aviation experts is ignored.




PILOT SUICIDE - Uncommon? GERMANWINGS & MH370 - Lessons the Airline industry refuses to learn! (Free eBook MH370 & AF447 by S G Walther)


When I first advanced my explanation for the loss of MH370, it was criticised by some pilots. Why would anyone do something like that?, they asked. They preferred to ignore the FACTS because I couldn't advance a MOTIVE. Fortunately, the facts, in my view, point overwhelmingly to one, and only one logical conclusion which excludes all other...s. Fortunately, today, most pilots and aviation experts have shifted to the view I took two days after MH370 disappeared.


Chillingly, my book quotes another Aviation Expert, a Mr Wilson, who argues that there have been many aviation disasters which are or could be attributable to pilot suicide. He goes on to argue that Airlines need to take the threat posed by Rogue pilots seriously!!


Had anyone bothered to heed this advice, the Germanwings accident could possibly have been avoided.

For one thing, the pilot responsible for the crash apparently suffered from serious depression and a range of other medical conditions which did or could have impacted upon his fitness to fly.

I await the conclusions of the investigative report in this regard. I would expect at least that it be recommended that a pilot's right to medical confidentiality be waived by operation of law insofar as the employing airline is concerned. Applicable Aviation legislation should be amended internationally to achieve this end. Until then, the airlines themselves achieve this by the insertion of a condition of employment in the contracts of all pilots in terms of which pilots which provides for such waiver of medical confidentiality

Secondly, any medical practitioner, including psychiatrists who treat pilots must not only have the right to share any information they consider relevant to the pilot's fitness to fly with the head of the personnel department of the airline, but there should in addition be a positive duty in a law imposed on such practitioners to do so  if there is any reason to believe that the medical condition or mental state of the pilot could pose a risk to the safety of the crew and passengers.


Pilot Suicide is a misnomer unless intended to mean Pilot Murder/Suicide. Suicide does not involve others. When you involve others you commit mass murder, which is a crime.


Had the Air Asia pilots learned from AF447, that accident may not have occurred. Had AF447 learned from the Aero Peru & other air crashes, AF447 would definitely NOT have occurred. Read more.... It's free. But will anyone listen?
