Jeffrey Skiles
Co-Pilot, U.S. Airways Flight 1549
Jeff Skiles details the lessons, training, and scenarios that led to the "Miracle on the Hudson" and what businesses can take away from it with a great sense of humor and natural storytelling ability. Crisis Management at 3,200 Feet. Skiles tried to restart the engines. But the manuals are written for failures that happen at 30,000 feet, and the only training pilots receive for water landings is focused on ditching in the open ocean. So Skiles and Sullenberger were indeed in uncharted territory. As the passengers and flight attendants braced for impact, the plane descended 3,200 feet toward the river. Eyewitnesses in the surrounding buildings said it looked like a perfect three-point landing. Jeff Skiles details the lessons, training, and scenarios that led to the "Miracle on the Hudson" and what businesses can take away from it with a great sense of humor and natural storytelling ability.
Skiles believes that life changes around you, and if you can't adapt and change with it, you can't succeed. He attributes the success of the emergency landing on the Hudson to the extensive training that all members of a flight crew experience. From the mechanics and the maintenance workers to the people who write the emergency protocols and the flight attendants, he believes that every level of the U.S. Airways organization is responsible for the outcome on January 15, 2009. While he and Captain Sullenberger piloted the plane to a safe landing, the success was a group effort representing the contributions of an entire organization.
