All analysis.
Qualitative essays grounded in public accident records. Historical patterns inform judgment — they do not predict individual flights.
ResearchNOTAM Comprehension Failure: A Systematic ReviewAnalysis of incident reports where NOTAMs were issued but pilots reported unawareness. The problem is often cognitive load and information presentation, not data availability.Accident AnalysisContinued VFR into IMC: Decision Point AnalysisIdentifying the specific decision points where intervention is most effective in continued VFR-into-IMC scenarios.MethodologyHow FlightReady Calibrates Risk ScoresThe statistical methodology behind FlightReady's risk score — NTSB training data, factor weighting, and validation against held-out accident records.Data AnalysisTerrain-Controlled Flight: Route Proximity as a Risk FactorHow route proximity to high-terrain areas correlates with CFIT accident probability under IFR and marginal VMC conditions.ResearchPIREP Reliability in Preflight Decision MakingEvaluating how pilot reports complement METAR/TAF data in preflight risk assessment workflows.
