Hey there, welcome to Pilots Who Ask Why!
We both have a tendency to ask way too many questions… so we built a whole platform around it! ✈️
We’ve always been obsessed with figuring out how things work – and more importantly, explaining them in a way that actually makes sense. No jargon, no ego, no death-by-PowerPoint ✅
Whether it’s Human Factors, Flight Safety, Aircraft Systems, real-world accident insights, or stories from the cockpit: we believe pilots shouldn’t have to dig through 1000-page manuals to learn something useful.
That’s why we started Pilots Who Ask Why: a platform where we take confusing aviation topics and break them down with clarity, honesty, and the occasional story.
Our goal? To make aviation safer, clearer, and just a bit more human. We publish new and relevant articles every other Monday!
If you have any questions or topics that you think deserve more attention, feel free to reach out to us.
Let’s master aviation – together! 🚀
