Cal Whitaker

Cal Whitaker writes about aviation accidents, human factors, and the chain of decisions that can turn a manageable problem into a catastrophe. His approach centers on the careful reconstruction of events, examining flight data, procedures, and the circumstances surrounding critical decisions. His style is precise and measured, favoring evidence over speculation and clear explanations over dramatic conclusions.
