This book examines the development of the foundations for aviation safety,?providing?a history?of time-critical safety-related events?and exploring?why pilot inactivity, indifference, fixation and incapacitation can so pervade the lead up to the last minute as to leave a flight's safe continuation resting on prompt remedial action.
John Frearson has written an engaging and highly relatable book. Using real life examples to illustrate his points he provides a thought-provoking analysis of operational safety in aviation. All aviation managers and aircrew would benefit from reading the book and reflecting on how best to manage time critical situations.? John Frearson is a natural communicator. It is a triumph that he can impart his vast knowledge and aviation experience in such a readable and enjoyable format. I highly recommend this book.

My friend and former colleague, John Frearson, has offered up an invaluable resource that every airline employee and every person interested in aviation safety should read.
Sam Coats, retired senior airline executive and Chair of the Board of Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, USA
In short, an outstanding read for aviation professionals from all functional areas in the aviation business. Not exactly a quick read but one deserving of deep concentration and careful introspection.?Love how John wound the case studies around the technical content thereby driving home the critical importance of awareness, conservatism, and communication!
