Are you an anxious flier? Ease your anxiety with Kyle Koukol, Pilot and Founder of Dial A Pilot. Kyle explains why flying is not dangerous, the many procedures that pilots use to ensure safety, what’s really causing turbulence, and more. Kyle begins by addressing turbulence – what it is, why we are seeing more of it, and why it will never take down a plane. He also explains the technology that allows pilots to avoid turbulence. As a pilot of Boeing planes, Kyle explains why media concerns about Boeing vehicles are overexaggerated, and why pilots love flying Boeing models. 01:15 Altitudes & Turbulence 04:30 Climate Change & Turbulence 11:40 Thunderstorms, Freezing Rain, & Weather 17:50 Assessing Threats 26:15 How Pilots Prep For Accidents 31:49 Emergency Landings 38:11 Descending Safely 42:33 Pacific vs. Atlantic Flights 46:40 Pilot Training 52:54 Long Haul Flights 59:55 The FAA & Boeing 1:07:37 Air Traffic Control For more from Kyle, find Dial A Pilot at @dialapilot or www.dialapilot.com.
