Bryan Air

I'm Bryan Roseveare. I was an airline captain. I still go to work on the flight deck. It's just a full flight simulator these days, and the pilots I train are the ones who fly you around.

This is not a side project. Training pilots is my job, and I believe in the way an airline flight deck works. The structure. The discipline. The way a crew stays calm, works the problem and makes a decision after something goes wrong. Pilots are not born with those habits. They are trained into them, one session at a time, and that means anyone can learn them. They also work for the engine failures of life: the job that disappears, the diagnosis, the decision you have to make with half the information and no time. I want to give you the tools pilots use, so that when your moment comes, you have a proven way to handle it, from the most professional industry in the world.

I do this from South Africa, a country I love and refuse to look away from. We sit at the far end of a continent, a long way from everything, and we have never had the luxury of an easy run. That is exactly why this way of thinking belongs here.

- A Pilot Explains: one story South Africans are talking about, what a pilot sees in it, and the habit you can take from it.
- Once a month, my co-host Ryan Parrock joins me to work through the aviation news that affects South Africa, the way two pilots actually talk about it.

Made in Johannesburg. South African honesty.
