Blog: The meaning of 'Ahead of the Power Curve'

The expression "ahead of the power curve" has its roots in aviation, and even NASA engineers had to learn this lesson.

About

The vast majority of accidents are preventable. By reading accident reports, you'll learn what not to do when you find yourself in similar scenarios.

NTSB accident reports by month

We were surprised by a flight instructor's observation who, after more than 40 years of flying, was amazed at how many pilots of various experience levels aren't aware of the value of NTSB reports.

We also kept hearing a common theme among pilots: the NTSB website isn't the friendliest to use. Changing pages and navigating through the site can be a hassle, especially on mobile.
