Capt. Nicolas P. Fiechter
I'm a retired Airline Pilot, logging >25.500 flight hours on several, very different aircraft types and worked in different companies. I was in aviation business for 40 years whereof an Airline Captain for 34 years. I trained professional Pilots for almost 2 decades in my career which basically ended when Covid-19 hit Europe and Airlines grounded their fleets...
During my commercial career I experienced several emergencies, handled all of them well and never “bent the Jet”. With a good Management and Decision Making all my passengers always landed safely at their destination even when we had a rough day out there!
I created this platform to share my experience with you, which I believe is the best way to grow YOUR experience and improve SAFETY for all on board.
Telling you how to make appropriate decisions in a few moments, how to manage your flight efficiently, getting organized especially when things go unexpected and workload increases when things go wrong. How to be aware of your personal limits, recognize and manage fatigue!
It worked for me and in all these years, it will work for you as well!
My Goal is to improve Aviation Safety for everyone!
When you work in aviation things will go wrong one day, the question is “when”?
It will probably hit you unexpected, taking you by surprise, maybe when you are tired almost at the end of a long day... Always be prepared for such a situation and transport your passengers safely to their destination. It is not important if you fly a small private- or a big commercial plane. When we talk about safety the size doesn't matter, every passenger and yourself must arrive SAFELY at destination! This is why I'm sharing my experience with you; how to avoid and / or resolve a critical situation. It is my aim to help private and commercial Pilots to better manage their Flights, make correct decisions in a few seconds and handle difficult situations best possible to have a successful outcome and bring everyone home safely.
