Business inquiries: [email protected] cc [email protected] Welcome to Green Dot Aviation! Each fortnight I release a new video about an air accident or incident. I use publicly available sources while researching these incidents, and I try to explain their causes in a way that is both accurate and accessible. I am an Airbus pilot for a European airline, and I have a background in Psychology. The confluence between Psychology and Aviation is particularly evident when things go wrong in Aviation, and that's the main focus of this channel.

Running low on fuel, and with darkness approaching, the pilots and airline personnel on the ground have to work together under time pressure. The tough decisions they are forced to make, could mean the difference between life and death, for the over 100 people on board. This is the story of Virgin Atlantic flight 024. ----- Final Report: https://wwwhttps://www.aviation-accidents.net/report-download.php?id=195aviation-accidents.net/report-download.php?id=195 Music Licensed through Epidemic Sound, Audiomachine, and Musicbed: MB01Z4QWZGEEPHT 67eab7882d2548b49a778453 PAYID-M7VLORY2YF94144DJ455204W
