The Sky Has a Limit - How to Deal with Failure
summary
Failure management at Lufthansa starts with tough selection, four simulator sessions per year and constant data feedback: every flight is recorded and transmitted via the flight data recorder uploads to a safety department that spots weak points and schedules retraining. Long‑haul A380 ops use three pilots and cross‑checks to prevent errors like wrong routing entries typed into the flight management system; crews train checklist discipline, enforce a flat hierarchy where any pilot can assert control, and reroute airways after incidents.
