When aviation makes headlines, a working captain tells you what really happened, and why.
Hi, I’m Pilot Nick 👋🏻, a working captain with 28 years and more than 10,000 hours up front, flying everything from private jets to airliners around the world.
When something happens in aviation, the headlines arrive in minutes and the facts take weeks. In between, there’s a lot of noise: confident theories built on a 40-second phone video, and scary words with no context.
I started Lessons From The Flight Deck to close that gap. I explain what really happened, what the crew was seeing, and what it means for the next time you fly.
Lessons From The Flight Deck is a Substack Bestseller, read by 2,400+ subscribers.
🧭 What you’ll find here
✅ Black Box: what really happened. When an incident makes the news, I go through the data, the procedures and the crew’s decisions, calmly and without speculation.
✅ Cockpit Confidential: inside the captain’s head. How we decide on fuel, weather, go-arounds, and everything passengers never see.
✅ Fly Calm: for nervous flyers. Turbulence, sounds and bumps explained plainly, so the unknown stops being scary.
✅ Smart Traveller: pilot know-how. Seats, packing and delays, from someone who lives in airports.
