Demystifying the world of aviation. AeroSavvy delivers regular briefings that explain the complex technology and procedures of commercial flight from the perspective of an experienced Boeing captain.
About AeroSavvy
AeroSavvy is the 'Interpreter' for the sky. Its briefings are famous for their 'Technical Clarity'—Ken takes complex subjects like RNP approaches or the physics of lift and explains them so clearly that even a non-pilot can understand them. It's unique for its 'Insiders View'; because he has spent thousands of hours in the cockpit, he can explain the 'Why' behind every sound and sensation a passenger experiences. It is an essential read for anyone who has ever looked out a plane window and wondered 'How does this actually work?' or for any nervous flyer who finds comfort in hard technical facts.
