As a former Navy pilot with fourteen years of military piloting experience, Mr. Ditchey is well qualified to act an an Expert Witness in aviation litigation involving pilot issues. Additionally, Mr. Ditchey was the Senior Vice President at two different major airlines, responsible for all aspects of pilot hiring, training, and performance. Examples of Mr. Ditchey's Expert Witness, experience include:
|
In almost all aircraft accidents involving damage to or loss of the aircraft, pilot issues are somehow involved, albeit not the sole or even the major cause.
|
The management of pilot training is one of the most important and costly aspects of flight operations management at an airline, other than salaries.
|
Human factors will always be a major part of aviation accidents and incidents, and thus a major part of aviation litigation.
