This podcast from Transport Security International Magazine examines the issue of mental health problems among pilots and their potential impact on aviation safety. The podcast highlights recent incidents involving pilots experiencing mental health difficulties, including cases of attempted suicide by aircraft and disruptive behaviour in the cockpit. It explores the challenges of identifying and addressing these issues, particularly the stigma associated with mental health and the reluctance of pilots to disclose their concerns. The podcast discusses the ongoing efforts by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other organisations to improve pilot mental health awareness and provide resources for pilots to seek help, as well as the need for a cultural shift in the aviation industry to create a more supportive and open environment for pilots experiencing mental health challenges.
