Aviation is a very traditional industry. But our society and its values are changing rapidly. These changes in attitude and lifestyle create a new environment for behavior and character in our narrow cockpits.

Misunderstanding and miscommunication of these changes will create an unsafe base of any decision making between pilot and co-pilot. A bully in the left seat isn’t helpful, can create major tensions and leads to an ineffective teamwork. An ill performing crew is an unsafe factor for operating an aircraft.

We will show you some methods how to channel inflated egos, ever expanding personalities and just plain complicated aviation characters. Our workshop will discuss effective ways to defuse ‘tricky’ situations, improve communication and better intermutual understanding.

Our workshop is for aviators and family members - and yes, you can bring your kids and grand-kids for free. In an entertaining way we show you how to improve on your parental skills as an aviator.
