Northern Flight Deck - Countdown to Takeoff

10/12/2017

I write a regular feature for our inflight magazine at Canadian North Airlines. The article is written from my point of view (an airline captain) but targeted at passengers and non-aviators. It's an attempt to explain common concerns and questions that I get from passengers and non-flyers in general...hope you enjoy it. The latest below.

Love this concept! As someone who's always been curious about what goes on in the cockpit, having a captain break down common passenger questions is really helpful. Your unique background as an adventurer probably gives you great perspective on explaining aviation to everyday people. Looking forward to reading more of these articles!

Really enjoyed this—especially how you break down the “invisible” part of flying into something easy to follow. The step-by-step countdown makes it much clearer how structured and deliberate everything is before takeoff. It’s reassuring to see the level of preparation behind what passengers usually experience as just a few announcements and a pushback. Looking forward to more insights like this.
