BRYAN AIR
The pilots I train are the ones who fly you around.
I'm Bryan Roseveare. I was an airline captain. I still go to work on the flight deck. It's just a full flight simulator these days, and the pilots I train are the ones who fly you around.
This is not a side project. Training pilots is my job, and I believe in the way an airline flight deck works. The structure. The discipline. The way a crew stays calm, works the problem and makes a decision after something goes wrong. Pilots are not born with those habits. They are trained into them, one session at a time, and that means anyone can learn them. They also work for the engine failures of life: the job that disappears, the diagnosis, the decision you have to make with half the information and no time. I want to give you the tools pilots use, so that when your moment comes, you have a proven way to handle it, from the most professional industry in the world.
I do this from South Africa, a country I love and refuse to look away from. We sit at the far end of a continent, a long way from everything, and we have never had the luxury of an easy run. That is exactly why this way of thinking belongs here.
- A Pilot Explains: one story South Africans are talking about, what a pilot sees in it, and the habit you can take from it.
- The Bryan Air Podcast: once a month, my co-host Ryan Parrock joins me to work through the aviation news that affects South Africa, the way two pilots actually talk about it.
Made in Johannesburg. South African honesty.

A Pilot Explains
One story South Africans are talking about, what a pilot sees in it, and the habit you can take from it.
Pilots are trained to stay calm, work through the problem and make a decision after something goes wrong. Those habits work just as well in everyday life. Every video gives you the flight deck view of what actually happened, what it means for you, and one thing you can use in your own life.
The Bryan Air Podcast
The aviation news the way two pilots actually talk about it. Bryan and Ryan Parrock work through the month's headlines with a flight deck view on each, and cockpit banter when two pilots don't agree.
