In Partnership

by Royce

Despite its complexity, air travel is the safest mode of transport in the world. How do you make something so complex yet so safe at the same time? Checklists and teamwork.

Typically, the checklists in normal operations are:

• External walk around and preflight
• Before start
• Before taxi
• Before take-off
• After take-off
• Cruise
• Descent
• Approach
• Landing
• Shutdown
• Secure

Every flight, without exception, two pilots work through these checklists together — not because they don’t know the steps, but because partnership and accountability keep everyone safe. The same principle applies in our walk with God and with one another in the marketplace.
