Join us as our host, Grenville Hudson, speaks with Dr. Matt Ebbatson for our debut episode about virtual reality and automation technologies in the cockpit, single pilot operations and what this means for flight crew, flight data analysis programs, and much more.

Post-pandemic, the business aviation industry’s long term future casts considerable unpredictability, and we ask ourselves: as the business aviation sector is recovering, could it possibly surpass previous growth? How can the next generation of aviation professionals help propel the recovery of business aviation? In this episode, Grenville Hudson speaks with Jessica Graham, the Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Business Aviation Association Inc. (ABAA). Together, they discuss the current state of the aviation workforce, corporate responsibility, workplace diversity, and how the ABAA advocates with regulators and acts as a collective voice for business aviation operators.

Training reduces the risk of incidents occurring, and is a crucial building block to develop robust safety cultures. In this episode, Grenville Hudson speaks with Dr. Oleksandra Molloy, Lecturer in Aviation and Aviation Program Coordinator at the University of New South Wales. Together, they discuss the definition of cognitive-based training, evidence-based approaches to tackle high-risk behaviour, use of technology such as eye-tracking, and more.

Just culture is a topic that is frequently raised in the aviation industry, but quite often misconstrued. In this episode, Grenville Hudson speaks with Jerry Allen, Senior Advisor at The Just Culture Company, LLC. Together, they discuss the just culture model, the concept of no blame culture, how just culture fits in with an organization’s safety culture, and more.
