New Book Reveals How Aviation Crashes are Investigated and What Goes on Behind the Scenes to Improve Air Safety

Dr. Alan Diehl presents an insider's account of how events actually unfolded in the organizations responsible for protecting everyone who flies.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (PRWEB) May 16, 2013

The U.S. major airlines recently passed an almost unbelievable
milestone - literally going a full decade without a single passenger
dying in a crash. Other segments of aviation, including the regional
carriers, general aviation, and the military have made significant,
albeit less dramatic, improvements in recent years. But whenever
a crash occurs air safety investigators are dispatched to discover
why it happened and to recommend countermeasures for preventing
future tragedies.

Air Safety Investigators explains the fascinating story of how this
process really works, and what people can do to protect themselves
 while flying. Dr. Diehl was a pilot who narrowly survived an
accident himself, which convinced him to make aviation safety
his life's work. Employed by aircraft manufacturers, the National
Transportation Safety Board, the Federal Aviation Administration
and the Air Force, he helped solve some of the most mysterious
crashes while initiating many safety enhancements.

This book also describes how Diehl battled the bureaucracy to
save lives. Federal officials hired him to prevent an anticipated
bloodbath from airline deregulation. He soon introduced
innovations such as Crew Resource Management. The training
dramatically reduced accidents and he was assigned to teach these
concepts to Air Force One crews. However, when he exposed
officials lying to Congress, they used the sky marshals to harass him.
They then ignored his other programs, which caused countless
unnecessary deaths, including that of JFK Jr. He was finally fired
for blowing the whistle on the Pentagon cover-up of the worst
fratricide since Vietnam. But Congress and other important
organizations soon sought his advice on civil and military aviation
problems.

This landmark expose' provides readers with the definitive
description of these remarkable events, vividly told through the
eyes of a working air safety investigator. John Nance of ABC
News wrote the book's forward to explain how one maverick s
cientist's insight, candor, and courage significantly improved
aviation safety.
