This book examines the development of the foundations for aviation safety - the things that give foundational support for safety to pilots in particular, but over which line pilots may have little knowledge or day-to-day control. It provides a history of time-critical safety-related events, providing the foundation for the understanding of the reasons why pilot inactivity, indifference, fixation, and incapacitation can so pervade the lead up to the 'last minute' as to leave the safe continuation of the flight resting on prompt remedial action. The role of doubt, how it is expressed and how it is heard, is another central thread. Finally, the book addresses the role of flight data analysis as a valuable management tool.
Written for aviation managers, line flight crews, and those in similar operational roles in aviation-related operations, this book and its informal discussion style should appeal and communicate across national, age, experience, and language boundaries to create a safer operational environment.

"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."Simon Lutton, Executive Director, Australian Federation of Air Pilots, Australia
"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!"
George H. Snyder, President & CEO GHS Aviation Group, LLC and former Senior VP Safety at Korean Air, USA
"No matter what the level of experience in aviation safety management and investigation the reader will find this book a fascinating insight into why aviation accidents and serious incidents continue to occur."
