In their inaugural appearance on AvBrief, Max Trescott and Rob Mark connect a string of very different accidents with one shared theme: safety margin usually disappears one “reasonable” choice at a time—until the airplane (or the environment) collects the debt.
They start with the NTSB’s urgent recommendation following fatal Hawker stall tests and a look ahead to the board meeting on the Potomac River midair. Then, they break down real-world lessons from a Falcon 50 in Turkey, a helicopter in Arizona, and GA accidents across the U.S., covering everything from approach minimums and fuel exhaustion to the split-second decisions required during engine failures.
